A magical experience awaits you on the majestic Sunshine Coast of British Columbia near the Village of Egmont. Nestle into our modern rustic cabins or set up camp beneath the towering evergreens. We, your hosts, and our yard-full of farm friends live just up the hill, but we sneak out often to welcome our guests. Strongwater Camping and Cabins offers bookings year-round. Choose from our 8 rustic cabins or 8 large campsites to accommodate your next relaxing get-away or refreshing retreat. Bookings are usually a 2-night minimum. 1-night may be available at the discretion of the Hosts. New to our accommodations are the SkookumBus and a Glamping Tent (summer only)! Our hand-built cabins provide a simply magical experience, with warm, comfy beds and bedside table, a fan for summer or a heater for winter. Nearly every cabin features a small table and chairs and a mini-fridge plus an outdoor fire pit and a picnic table. The cabins’ decks are surrounded by forest. Firewood is available for $30/wheelbarrow on site when available (unless we have a fire ban.) All campsites include the fire pit and picnic table. Everyone has easy access to the spa-like washrooms with coin-operated hot showers and flush toilets. Children 8 years old and under must be accompanied by an adult in the Wash house. There’s a dish washing station in the center of the Wash House where you can refill your water jugs and bottles or wash dishes. Please do not use for washing hair or laundry or tooth brushing. We ask that you conserve water and keep the Wash House clean. If a peaceful experience is what you seek, enjoy the restful, soothing atmosphere of the forest. Learn to really appreciate the simple things in life. Take in the mountain, ocean, and lake scenery. Fishing, canoeing, or just lying on a beach. Sitting on the deck of your cozy cabin, reading a book or soaking in the magic. If you are a thrill-seeker, then adventure awaits on the turbulent waters of Skookumchuk Narrows, the rapids for which our magical place is named. Skookumchuk is an old Chinook word meaning Strong Waters. There’s a timetable for you to consult to catch the tides at the best times. Follow the link below. Hit some rigorous trails on your mountain bike, hike through forests, up mountains, or at oceanside. Take a wild ride to untouched wilderness with our neighbouring Adventure Boat Tours.

Bring your telescope for the opportunity to see clear, off the grid skies and epic star viewing for the astronomer in you. The bookings are quite private and there is a lot of space between sites. If one of the Dome tents is booked, I block off the other so you'll be the only ones on the whole gravel pad area.

Weekend Trip to Strongwater Camping and Cabins

We loved staying at Strong Water cabin. It is a beautiful and quiet place, and we had a great time there. The communal areas were clean and very well maintained. Since it is a basic cabin, you will need to bring your own utensils and a camping stove if you plan to cook. Keep in mind that to use the shower, you need a loonie for 5 minutes of hot water (they even left us $4 to get started!). I actually loved that system. Skookumchuck narrows are ~5km away from that camp. It is easy trail, though it is not accessible for wheelchairs or strollers

Great little cabin! Very comfortable bed, and really fun little campsite with one of the better sanitary blocs we've experienced. Very easy to go on little walks to the marina, the Skoombus, the bakery, etc. Would have stayed longer if we could.

Cheyenne's campground and cabins is everything I would have hoped for: comfortable, beautiful, bohemian, poetic and friendly. Cheyenne is an amazing host and she will go out of her way to help you and make you feel welcome. My husband and I ended up staying in the new Loft 1, above what will be a yoga studio soon. The bed was very comfortable and we had a fridge to put our food in and a little table and chairs. We woke up at the sound of roosters, which was very cool. They do go a little crazy and start early but this was a plus for me, I like roosters. The little farm hosts a variety of creatures: 2 poneys, hens, ducks, geese and a wild goose who decided to stay. The bathrooms and showers are impecable and there is a very convenient dish-washing station Everything you need is available. In short, I would highly recommend staying with Cheyenne if you love animals and nature, but also your worldly comforts.

Awesome facility. We stayed at one of the Tree Houses. Central bathroom and showers were clean and well maintained. Cheyenne was an outstanding host who went over and well above expectations to welcome us and help us out with all our needs. Camp sites looked great too. Would strongly recommend.

Weekend Trip to Strongwater Camping and Cabins

We had the best experience at strongwater cabins. The cabins are cozy and picturesque, with all the essentials. An electric kettle and mini fridge made our experience so much better, since we were able to store our food and enjoy hot drinks on the chilly autumn nights. The cabin comes with an electric fireplace that kept us perfectly toasty as well. Hot showers and clean bathrooms and area to wash our dishes was so convenient! Cheyenne has put her heart into the property and it shows. The hosts are super accommodating! We even got to use their canoe and paddle out on Waugh Lake, and check out their infrared sauna. The cherry on top is the delightful animals that live on the property. Geese, chickens, mini ponies, guinea fowl, and more. We explored the Skookumchuck trail and checked out the amazing whirlpools. Every inch of this forest is beautiful, made better by our time at the cabin. We will absolutely return! A 10/10 experience.

We LOVED staying at Cheyenne's Treehouse Cabin. We stayed in cabin 2 for 2 nights and it was pure perfection. It truly felt like you were in a treehouse among the trees. The whole property was gorgeous and miraculously upkept. The heater kept the cabin warm at night, towels and loonies for showers were provided. Close to Skookumchuk Narrows and Skookumchuk Bakery and Cafe (the cinnamon buns are a MUST). Would absolutely recommend for a friend.

I loved being up in the forest, waking up surrounded by trees. The double doors that open up to the front deck make the whole room feel a part of the outside world which was amazing! Sitting on the deck reading and enjoying a glass of wine was spectacular! Friendly hosts who run a great pizza truck and serve ice cream! Short walk to the harbor and trail to Skookumchuck Narrows. A truly beautiful piece of this magical part of the Sunshine Coast!

I originally booked just one night at Strongwater as a stopover before my boat tour to Princess Louisa Inlet—but I was so pleasantly surprised! Cabin 6 was adorable, super clean, and very comfortable. It had everything I needed, including power and a fan, and I didn’t mind the short walk to the wash house, which was spotless and charmingly rustic. The location couldn’t be better—just minutes from the Backeddy Marina and directly across from the trailhead to the stunning Skookumchuck Narrows. I was lucky to catch the XL tides and watch the powerful, rushing water—it was absolutely incredible. The hosts were warm and welcoming, and discovering the Skookumbus food bus onsite (with delicious pizza and ice cream) was the cherry on top. My only complaint is that I didn’t stay longer. I would have loved time for a paddle on Brown Lake or to hang out with the friendly farm animals. A fantastic spot for a weekend getaway or solo escape!
