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.

Wild Farm with Mountain Views
Camp with Bambi!
Wildlife viewings including bears, moose, deer, geese, ducks, hummingbirds, warblers, finches and wolves. Big open 360 degree mountain views. Bright stars and open field where you can tuck into the treed edge next to the deers! The moonlight can be as bright as daytime and the stars are quite a sight. The RV sites are for RV's that are self-sufficient without the need for electricity nor water in or out (no dumping and there is no running water nor an outhouse at RV sites).
RV's will be parking on grass and the site REQUIRES LEVELLING. We can accommodate vehicles up to 39ft in length.
Have your choice of bringing your own tent or using ours!
New Glamping Dome Tents with Queen Sized Beds, table and chairs and hammocks including a covered counter for cooking .
Unplug and Unwind to the sound of breeze through the trees and romantically flowing water from the nearby creek. There is no cell service or electromagnetic disruption here which makes for a beautiful peaceful mountain retreat. 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. There are trees and visual space blocking anyones' view between sites
Birkenhead Lake Provincial Park is walkable from our farm and there you can hike, fish, swim, paddle, and more! The road is a gravel road in winter would require 4x4. Otherwise we've seen many EVO cars (Prius Hybrid or fully electric Kia Niro) and even fancy Teslas and BMW sedan's on this road.

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!

1 night at Strongwater Camping and Cabins
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!

Cheyenne & Dwayne made us feel right at home. We plan on having a family reunion there because it’s absolutely beautiful, between the ocean, the lake, and the rapids you couldn’t ask for more.

What an amazing few days!! Would have to say my experience was 12/10! Cheyenne was so incredibly genuine and helpful- my boyfriend and I were celebrating our anniversary and she let us use her canoe for the day. That will be an experience I’ll never forget! The cabin we stayed in was even better than I’d anticipated- extremely clean, so cozy and loved that there was a fridge and a deck to eat at. I would recommend this to anyone- there is so much to do around it’s really lovely

This was an absolutely magical experience! We stayed in Cabin 4 and felt very comfortable. The cabin is well insulated—we could not hear any of our neighbors once we went in. All the bedding and towels smelled great, the bathrooms and showers were very well kept, and there is a lot to do nearby. We enjoyed taking out a provided canoe on Waugh Lake and ate a nice lunch at the Backeddy Pub nearby which is bayside and really lovely. All walkable which says a lot with a toddler like us! We enjoyed getting ice cream, visiting animals including ponies and geese, and looking through a library for kiddos, all on site! Of all the great parts of our stay, Cheyenne was the star. She was kind, gracious, and very easy to talk to. A good host like her makes it all! Thank you, Cheyenne and co! We will certainly be back for a longer stay. 🌞

Cheyenne is a beautiful soul. My best friend at I stayed in the “Loft Two” Cabin for one magical night. The hobby farm was so peaceful and designed with love. Our cabin was a little peace of heaven, washrooms were beautiful, animals were delightful and the skookumchuck bakery cafe down the street was delicious. Highly recommend walking to the skookumchuck rapids and watching the kayakers!

Bring some loonies for the shower - we only thought of it at the last minute and we didn't find a stash of loonies in Egwater...

We fully enjoyed our stay at Strongwater Campground! The cabin was clean and comfortable, and had everything we could need, including a heater, fan, and mini fridge. The campground felt safe and everyone was super friendly. The washrooms were all very clean, including showers, which required loonies to operate. We recommend doing the Skookumchuck trail (8km round trip) and visiting the Seafood food truck and the bakery! Overall, the campground was very charming and cute, and we would fully recommend a stay here.
