Perched on an elevated forest bench, our glamping yurts both feature a private kitchenette, propane stove, wood-fire stove with ample firewood, mountain spring-fed water, solar-powered amenities, and an eco-friendly composting toilet.

Secure parking for one vehicle completes your tranquil escape. Book a yurt today for a harmonious blend of nature, comfort, and seclusion. Although some of the photos on this listing posted by guests have kayaks and paddleboards, you will need to bring your own - they are not provided due to liability and insurance issues - we're sorry about that. Detailed instructions on how to access the place will be provided after booking - we are located remotely 4 hours from Vancouver and 2 hours from Whistler. We look forward to hosting you!

Deep Mountain Sea Cabin

51km from Birkenhead Lake Provincial Park · 3 sites

3 sites: cabin, yurt, trailer. Welcome to 28 acres of forests, mountains, creeks, a river and all that comes with it! We live in a little off-grid cabin deep in the Yalakom Valley in a small community of rustic-living and friendly folks. Please note that this property is located 40 km outside of Lillooet. Part of the road is a dirt road and a bit bumpy, best for cars that don't mind roughing it a little bit, and best for people who don't fear cliffs. You also lose service 5 minutes outside of Lillooet. The property is surrounded by one other large private lot on one side and some steep crown land on the other. You can explore our lot down to the river or you can drive to other locations like the Horseshoe (a great swim spot), Carpenter Lake (great for swimming, too), Lac La Mere (good for fishing), Carol Lake, and much more. All sites are located 150-200 feet away from our main house and share the same outhouse. However, it is unlikely for us to have more than one site booked the same time, so there is ample privacy. This is a somewhat rustic and rugged spot- if you are looking for fancy glamping this is not the space for you! Vancouverites, you've been warned!

We are a diverse 4-season guest ranch that focuses on providing a wilderness adventure. Enjoy the break from cell phone service and television as you explore the area. Hiking, biking and horse-riding trails start right from the property so you are always close to a new wilderness experience. Or get involved with our ranch-based activities such as horseback riding, riding lessons for kids, archery and hiking to make the most of your time at the ranch. Visiting our animals or watching the local wildlife roam in our horse pasture is a great way to get back to basics and enjoy ranch life. In the winter you can ice-fish or explore the area on snowshoes or cross-country skiing. Trails in and out of South Chilcotin Mountain Park lead right to our ranch, making it an ideal spot to begin your adventure or rest before heading home. You’re welcome to leave your car here during your backcountry stay. Contact us for more information on Work Crew Stays. Staying with us you accept the following: Our ranch is on Gun Lake Road, close to Tyax Lake, 30 minutes from Gold Bridge and Bralorne. It is about 2 hours west of Lillooet or north of Pemberton (6 hours from Vancouver) on a remote road with paved and gravel sections and no cell service. There is no cell service or TV at our location. Wi‑Fi is usually available but cannot be guaranteed due to weather and other natural factors outside our control. We have access to a landline if urgent calls need to be made. You are responsible for leaving the cabin/your room and the area around it clean and free of food and garbage. Each guest is responsible for cleaning the cabins when they leave, such as doing the laundry, washing all dishes. At the end of your stay, please bring all garbage to the main house so we do not attract critters and bears. We live in a true wilderness environment. The cabin water system uses filtered creek water and, though not common, there is always the possibility for water pressure to fluctuate. Weather and other variables can change quickly in the mountains. We expect guests to approach challenges with a positive, solution‑oriented mindset and to be respectful of nature, other guests and our team. We are experienced in dealing with nature’s challenges and will find a solution together.

Great spot, Great hosts. We had an awesome time and loved the remote location. Far away from our busy life and gave us a well needed break. Very peaceful and served as a home base for our adventures during the day. Quiet and relaxing in the evening.

The farm is perfect for anyone who is looking for a peaceful getaway. The hosts, Carmen and Dale, are incredibly pleasant, and their dog Molly is the real star of the place. The bathroom was very clean, though no hot water and hydro is just being installed during our time, it was not an issue at all. My friends came to visit and they were very impressed of the place. We will definitely be coming back to recharge ❤️

This place is incredible! We had a wonderful time, it was exactly the escape we needed, I would stay here again. I highly recommend booking the sauna, it was a highlight for sure, the water and beach were great. The Yurt is quite spacious we settled in nicely truly “glamping” at its finest. I hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did.

Such a lovely place to spend a night on our way up to Wells Gray park in Clearwater. Gorgeous view of mountains and a great brew pub a quick walk up the road. Very peaceful. It was a big enough area to park a truck/camper, two trailers and their trucks. Peaceful and quiet and all around great! Plus they have an organic Farmstand there so we purchased fresh rhubarb and potatoes. A great bonus.

Peaceful and beautiful getaway 🌊perfect place to relax.The sauna overlooking the lake was definitely one of the highlights and I highly recommend trying it.💯 Just make sure to check the road routes before going and take the easier one, since some parts are very steep and rough. Only downside was the heater and glass ceiling had cracks, but luckily the weather wasn’t too cold during our stay.

2 nights at Lake Glamping with Beach and Sauna

The whole experience camping on the land and in the Yurt was so beyond words to give it justice. The yurt was clean, romantic and cozy. The fireplace made the colder nights warm and bearable! The bed in the Yurt was probably the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept on, to be honest I wish I could take it home with me. We brought our puppy with us who enjoyed the freezing cold lake more than we ever could. The lake was serene, as was the property. Seton Lake which resides next to it is also worth a visit. I will 100% be recommending this place to everyone I know. However, if you don’t have a 4x4 vehicle I find it very hard to believe you could make it to the property let alone around the surrounding mountain ranges.

A perfect site for camping! Thanks to Carmen for her welcome, and to her friendly dog Molly for her company at dinner and who garded at night. The chalet for the toilets is very nice and clean.

We were travelling through Pemberton on our way to Whistler on a busy weekend and all the area campgrounds were full. We looked on Hipcamp and found Gabe’s place was 5 minutes away. Gabe was quick to reply to our message and the directions to get there were easy to follow. We spent a quiet peaceful night. Unfortunately the wild fire smoke in the area blocked the beautiful views we saw in the pictures. We were thankful to have the spot.

Great spot in a quiet, peaceful location with beautiful views to wake up to. We planned to do more but ended up mostly chilling around the cabin (highly recommend the outside daybed!) and walking my dog to the river. Ren was really accommodating for my reactive dog, left the lights on for us as we were arriving late and provided some yummy home grown vegetables. Would love to stay again!

Birkenhead Lake Provincial Park camping guide

Overview

About

At the some-10,000-hectare Birkenhead Lake Provincial Park, the serene lake is the main draw. Anglers are attracted by annual trout and char derbies and boaters appreciate the striking mountain views. Hiking includes an easy lake-side trail as well as rugged wilderness trails through terrain shaped by volcanism and glaciation. Lots of wildlife can be spotted, including moose, deer, and mountain goats, plus the occasional spotted owl or grizzly bear. The park’s rustic, 90-site lake-side campground has water spigots and pit toilets as well as a sandy beach, a boat launch, and picnic areas. The park is the traditional territory of the N'Quatqua First Nation.

Tips for snagging a campsite

Reservations are available from mid-May to September and must be booked through BC Parks’ Discover Camping website.
If visiting on weekends or holidays (Canada Day, BC Day, or Labour Day) you’ll want to secure a spot as far in advance of your trip as possible.
Over 35 sites are first-come, first-served. You might be able to score one, especially mid-week, if you show up right after check-out time at 11am.

When to go

Birkenhead Lake Provincial Park is open for campers from mid-May to September 30. If you are looking for a quieter experience, weekdays when schools are in session (May, June, and September) will be less busy. The cold-water lake is warmest for swimming in August.

Know before you go

This rustic wilderness park has just basic services, so you’ll need to be self-sufficient.
Daily and hourly canoe rentals are available onsite, as is a boat launch and dock.
This is a popular area to explore by horseback, and tour outfitters are available in Pemberton.
None of the park’s toilets or campsites are wheelchair-accessible.
The closest towns with basic supplies are D’Arcy, 22 kilometres away, and Mt. Currie, 50 kilometres away.
