Welcome to Flyway Farm & Forest! We are 90 minutes away from Banff National Park, nestled between the Rocky and Purcell Mountain ranges, along the Columbia River, and part of the Pacific Flyway. We are also close to many trout fishing lakes, the world famous Bugaboo Spires (a destination for the international climbing community since 1916), and bird watchers from all over the world.
We are five acres of farm, forests, and gardens, with our front yard facing out on the Columbia River, in the heart of the Pacific Flyway. It is one of the largest migratory bird routes in North America, and a crucial corridor to migratory birds, waterfowl, and shorebirds, extending from Alaska to Patagonia.
Whether your goal is to connect with the Earth or with people, the Flyway Farm and Forest is the place for you. Located in tiny Spillimacheen BC, this hidden gem will enhance any experience. It has a lot to offer the independent traveler, including beautiful views, hiking, rock-climbing, fishing, mountaineering, and paddling. Ideal for those looking for a basecamp for further adventures, or just a quiet get-away off the beaten path.
Flyway Forest: '79 Vintage Komfort RV, '63 Esta Villa RV, both with electrical service, and a bare campsite between them. Great view of the backside of the Rockies
Flyway Pasture: For small groups looking for a place to pitch their tent, several places are available behind the orchard or in the north forest by special arrangement
Flyway Farmhouse: For those looking for indoor plumbing and a place to recharge their phone, we have three rooms available upstairs in the main house (two queen beds and a single).
Feel free to message us prior to booking if you have any questions!

Weekend Trip to Glamping Yurt at Radius Retreat
We had a wonderful glamping experience at Radium Retreat! 🌲✨
The site was easy to locate and fully drivable, which made arrival stress-free. The place is very clean and well-kept — you can tell the owner puts a lot of care into it, and we particularly like the composting toilet. The indoor fireplace was a lovely touch and easy to set up, we had a good sleep during the stay. We also enjoyed the privacy — we didn’t see other groups during our stay, so it felt like we had the entire retreat to ourselves. For a natural site like this, it was a pleasant surprise to have bio-friendly shampoo and body wash provided when we arrived at the shower place.
A few things to note: the The watering hole/shower room is about a 20-minute walk from the Warren, so be prepared. Reading the map and guidebook in advance is highly recommended, as there are some activities that the retreat site can offer. We could have got lost if we didn't read the instruction getting to the watering hole (There is one more junction that the map didn't show). More photos online would also help guests get a clearer idea of choosing yurt or getting around. Lastly, reserve extra time to explore the trails — I didn’t get the chance this time and wish I had!
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and well-run glamping getaway.

The most beautiful place i've stayed at.
The morning view was great.
The tents were awesome, kept the heat from the morning and with our sleeping bags it was more than sufficient. We had kids with us so was afraid it would be cold at night, but there was no issue.
5/5.
The host also comes to give us a quick info, and suggestions on area to visit if we're in town etc.

Weekend Trip to Back 40 Outdoor Events
We loved our stay at the Brisco tent. Super cozy and clean glamping site with stunning views and friendly and attentive hosts. Listing photos are accurate to what it was like IRL. We enjoyed meeting the other guests at the site as well. Perhaps my favorite part was the outdoor toilet!!

A beautiful space in the middle of the mountains! The tents were incredibly clean and comfortable. Appreciated the sheets on the beds as I forgot some!!
They are not joking about needing clearance underneath the vehicle though as the last part of the road was quite off roady!

This is an amazing space, and was a truly special experience being able to stay. Can't say enough. The yurts were spacious, and the camp was fully equipped to ensure comfort. The fire pits and views were particularly perfect.

Our trip was short, so, we had no time understand many nuances. But it is beautiful location
