We have a 7 acre developing hobby farm currently with fruit trees, a garden, a king shepherd named Jack and a cat named Lulu. You may see some of our neighbour's ducks walking around and hear their rooster in the morning. Please note; our driveway is an uphill, switchback driveway so long trailers are not a fit for our location. Front wheel or 4 wheel is a plus but typically all vehicles can make it up our driveway. We have 2 swimming holes near and backing our property. At the back of the property is Hayward Lake/Hairsine Creek which is great for swimming. Inflatable paddle boards are the way to go if you wish to paddle board in the lake since it would be difficult portaging a rigid paddle board down the Crown Land trail. On the front is the Stave River Runoff. This has trails and is ideal if you have smaller children as the water is a bit warmer and has shallow areas. There are hiking trails in the area and a beach area a short drive from the sites.

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. Gibsons -Sunshine Coast is a 40 minute ferry ride from Horseshoe Bay in West Vancouver BC 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

Mount Seymour Provincial Park camping guide

Overview

About

Just a 30-minute drive from downtown Vancouver, Mount Seymour Provincial Park is a favourite among residents of the Lower Mainland, partly due to its viewpoints overlooking Vancouver, Mount Baker, and Say Nuth Khaw Yum (Indian Arm) Provincial Park. Visitors will find many trails of various lengths and difficulty—the hiking trails to Dog Mountain, Mystery Lake, and Mount Seymour peak are particularly popular. Lower mountain trails are used extensively by mountain bikers and hikers, while upper mountain trails near the ski resort area are restricted to hiking until winter trails are put in place in December. The park features extensive winter facilities for skiing, snowshoeing, and snow play. Camping options include just two group camping sites available for up to 16 people each.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  1. Mount Seymour’s two group camping sites available for year-round reservation.
  2. All group campsite reservations must be made by phone or online at BC Parks’ Discover Camping website.

 

When to go

Mount Seymour Provincial Park is open year-round. During the winter months, the resort area is busy with skiers and riders, while the park sees winter snowshoe and hiking enthusiasts. In summer, Mount Seymour’s lower sections are teeming with mountain bikers, while hikers occupy the upper sections accessible from the resort’s parking lot. Due to the park’s popularity and proximity to populated areas, day-use permits may be required in summer. Winter trails are put in place from mid-December through March 31 each year.

Know before you go

  • Due to the park’s popularity in summer, BC Parks has instituted a day-use pass reservation system. This is to limit overcrowding and impacts on the park’s alpine sensitive environment. 
  • Mount Seymour Provincial Park doesn’t have wifi, and cell phone service can be spotty along the upper mountain trails.
  • Open fires aren’t permitted in the park’s backcountry.
  • The mountainous backcountry can be rugged and unforgiving, so visitors should be experienced and properly equipped. Anyone planning to travel in the backcountry (whether overnight or for just a few hours) should inform a friend or family member of their intended route and anticipated return time.
  • Winter snowshoe trails and ski trails marked by BC Parks do not require a permit or day-use pass.
