Hi!
We’re your hosts, Seth, Jodie, and Megan Williams.
Recently we decided to share our property that we love and have enjoyed so much for two reasons: to give others the opportunity to enjoy it and to put money away for university. Our parents, Mark and Sarah, got behind the vision and are excited to be part of this project with us.
We would describe our property as: home…and a really fun place to grow up! Our parents thought that wasn’t descriptive enough for Hipcamp so they’ve helped us describe it more.
We live in a quiet neighbourhood in a forest that has been a source of peace, relaxation, and fun for us in our growing up years. We’ve noticed that people who visit here say they feel the same way.
With plenty of space for kids to explore and adults to relax, our 3 acre forest is perfect for down time with a book in the hammock or a nature walk before dinner.
Amenities and service:
A single, tidy campsite with picnic table surrounded by mature and gently manicured forest, as well as a hammock, and a new construction outhouse. (Go dad!)
We love hospitality, so though we won’t always be around when you’re here, if we are and you need something you can simply ask and we’ll do our best to provide what you need.
To help you feel welcome we provide a fresh, cool jug of drinking water and large container of fresh potable water as well as access to an outside tap to fill water containers if needed (upon request) , power to charge devices (upon request), and a campfire ring with firewood (sorry about the frequent fire bans. Huge bummer. We will post current fire ban status while you’re here.)
Surroundings and local attractions:
Our property is situated in a low traffic rural residential area within
¬ 3 km to Sandy Pool Regional Park (5 min) A family favourite!
¬ 10 km to the Cowichan Valley Museum (Duncan Totem Tour) (13 min)
¬ 14 km to the Pacific Northwest Raptor Center (15 min)
¬ 19 km to the Hand of Man Museum (20 min)
¬ 20 km to Lake Cowichan (16 min) for swimming, boating, kayaking, paddle boarding, etc
Note: Lake Cowichan is also home to ‘The Tube Shack’ where you can rent tubes to float down the Cowichan River and catch the Tube Shack Bus back to your car. We do it every summer!
Fun fact! It’s a 10-minute bike ride from our house to the Cowichan Valley Bike Trail.
*(All destinations calculated from our dining table by Google maps)
There are multiple well known hikes within 20 minutes (we suggest googling Stoney Hill Trail, Mt Tzouhalem, and Mt. Prevost.)

This property was purchased nearly half a century ago. For the majority of this time the forest section you will be camping in was left undeveloped, apart from a few mountain bike trails. Recently, as a family, we have seen a large increase in the people traveling to the Sunshine Coast to escape the city limits. Unable to rock up to a campsite and pick our spot like we used to, it was easy to see a growing demand. We have taken everything we love about camping and done our best to give you a sense of what life on the Coast is really about.
Please note: By entering onto the property you release all liabilities towards us as hosts. You are choosing to camp in a forested area that contains many hazards as well as potential threats. These include but are not limited to; Wild life (bears, bob cats, cougars etc), Fire is a serious threat to this region during summer months strict no smoking policy is in effect. Care should be taken walking around uneven surfaces. All campers are required to stay within camp boundaries fail to follow these protocols will result in being asked to leave.
Please respect this piece of land as much as we do.
~Hope you enjoy your time on the Sunshine Coast

Hi!
We’re your hosts, Seth, Jodie, and Megan Williams.
Recently we decided to share our property that we love and have enjoyed so much for two reasons: to give others the opportunity to enjoy it and to put money away for university. Our parents, Mark and Sarah, got behind the vision and are excited to be part of this project with us.
We would describe our property as: home…and a really fun place to grow up! Our parents thought that wasn’t descriptive enough for Hipcamp so they’ve helped us describe it more.
We live in a quiet neighbourhood in a forest that has been a source of peace, relaxation, and fun for us in our growing up years. We’ve noticed that people who visit here say they feel the same way.
With plenty of space for kids to explore and adults to relax, our 3 acre forest is perfect for down time with a book in the hammock or a nature walk before dinner.
Amenities and service:
A single, tidy campsite with picnic table surrounded by mature and gently manicured forest, as well as a hammock, and a new construction outhouse. (Go dad!)
We love hospitality, so though we won’t always be around when you’re here, if we are and you need something you can simply ask and we’ll do our best to provide what you need.
To help you feel welcome we provide a fresh, cool jug of drinking water and large container of fresh potable water as well as access to an outside tap to fill water containers if needed (upon request) , power to charge devices (upon request), and a campfire ring with firewood (sorry about the frequent fire bans. Huge bummer. We will post current fire ban status while you’re here.)
Surroundings and local attractions:
Our property is situated in a low traffic rural residential area within
¬ 3 km to Sandy Pool Regional Park (5 min) A family favourite!
¬ 10 km to the Cowichan Valley Museum (Duncan Totem Tour) (13 min)
¬ 14 km to the Pacific Northwest Raptor Center (15 min)
¬ 19 km to the Hand of Man Museum (20 min)
¬ 20 km to Lake Cowichan (16 min) for swimming, boating, kayaking, paddle boarding, etc
Note: Lake Cowichan is also home to ‘The Tube Shack’ where you can rent tubes to float down the Cowichan River and catch the Tube Shack Bus back to your car. We do it every summer!
Fun fact! It’s a 10-minute bike ride from our house to the Cowichan Valley Bike Trail.
*(All destinations calculated from our dining table by Google maps)
There are multiple well known hikes within 20 minutes (we suggest googling Stoney Hill Trail, Mt Tzouhalem, and Mt. Prevost.)

This property was purchased nearly half a century ago. For the majority of this time the forest section you will be camping in was left undeveloped, apart from a few mountain bike trails. Recently, as a family, we have seen a large increase in the people traveling to the Sunshine Coast to escape the city limits. Unable to rock up to a campsite and pick our spot like we used to, it was easy to see a growing demand. We have taken everything we love about camping and done our best to give you a sense of what life on the Coast is really about.
Please note: By entering onto the property you release all liabilities towards us as hosts. You are choosing to camp in a forested area that contains many hazards as well as potential threats. These include but are not limited to; Wild life (bears, bob cats, cougars etc), Fire is a serious threat to this region during summer months strict no smoking policy is in effect. Care should be taken walking around uneven surfaces. All campers are required to stay within camp boundaries fail to follow these protocols will result in being asked to leave.
Please respect this piece of land as much as we do.
~Hope you enjoy your time on the Sunshine Coast

Weekend Trip to Forest Sanctuary Cabin
We had a wonderful stay at Christian's cabin. It was the first weekend of April, and were treated to having the land to ourselves. With it being this early in the year, the cooking/lounging area and outdoors showers were not yet up. I took advantage of the Gibsons community centre showers ($3), as per Christian's suggestion.
Christian is a thoughtful host, providing a tour of the area, lesson on using the woodstove, checking in occasionally, and providing equipment to meet all our needs. Between having no electricity (only solar powered lights), wifi, or plumbing; and access to a clean open air outhouse, water for drinking, hand and dish washing, a wood stove for heat, toasty warm bed, and the sounds of nature, we felt it was the perfect balance between rustic and comfort -- perfect environment to reconnect with nature and ourselves. We loved cooking food on the campfire, watching the stars come out, doing cold dips in the shallow pond, and listening to the distant chorus of frogs. We would recommend bringing indoor slippers for the cabin, tealight candles, flashlights, and cooking oil.
We look forward to coming again and seeing the result of new developments Christian is working on!

Weekend Trip to Forest Sanctuary Cabin
My partner and I spent 4 nights/5 days at the cabin in the forest and it was magical. Disconnecting from wi-fi, electricity, and reconnecting to the simplicity of nature and each other was a beautiful way to connect to ourselves and the land around us. We became fire tenderers, watched the sunrise and sunset, befriended with the trees, cried over the beauty of the sky and the world around us.
It was a truly unique experience and Christian was so hospitable, going above and beyond in making sure our trip was a good one. He also recommended a bunch of local areas to check out. The people at Roberts Creek and the surrounding area are incredibly nice! There are a lot of cute restaurants, art, and shops to check out. We visited book shops, music stores, unique clothing stores, and more. There was a lot of personality in every place we saw. And the beach was beautiful.
We went during the winter and it was raining and cold, but it was also very cozy. We read books and made drawings over candle light. The fire kept us warm and there are plenty of blankets in the cabin. Even though there was no running hot water, it was easy enough to boil water to wash-up or visit the local pool for a hot shower.
I would recommend this Forest Sanctuary to anyone looking for a chill place to visit. Christian is very sweet and so was everyone we met. Getting back to nature was fun and I would come back again. It's a great place for a romantic getaway and I'd love to bring friends in the future.
