Learn more about this land: Wild Coast has 2 nightly campsites for you to enjoy. Site one is a large, flat open gravel base. And Site 2 is a large, flat grass based site. Please note you must have your own trailer or tent. We’re a 5-10 minute drive to Rathtrevor beach/Parksville, Englishman River. We are right in the middle of an extensive trail network perfect for hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding.  Both sites have plenty of space for RVs and trailers - we can accommodate vehicles up to 45ft in length. 30 amp Electrical and potable water hookups are available on both sites. WI-FI onsite as well. There is a flush toilet and sink available in our farm store that is available for guest use. No shower yet, but we are working on it! The property is private yet close to all amenities. Local favorite Rocking Horse Pub is a quick walk next door and a must-stop for dinner and drinks!  Centrally located on Vancouver Island, it’s a perfect spot to set up the rig and day trip out to Rathtrevor, Little Qualicum, Parksville, Coombs, Port Alberni valley and Nanaimo, or go for an overnighter in Victoria, Tofino, Mount Washington and the Comox Valley. Campfires are permitted as long as there is no fire ban and we have dry firewood for sale onsite. If you would like firewood send us a message before you arrive. Pets are welcome, but please be responsible for them. There is a large open grass field for you to let them run and burn off that energy. PLEASE NOTE that this is a campsite and the trailers in the photos are not for rent.

  • Review summary

    Generated from real Hipcamper reviews

    The Wild Coast Parksville Hipcamp is a favorite among visitors, thanks to its spacious and private campsites, clean amenities, and friendly hosts. Cory and Trish, the hosts, are consistently praised for their hospitality and attentiveness, making guests feel welcome and well cared for. The site's proximity to hiking trails and a local pub adds to its charm, providing campers with easy access to local attractions and dining options. While some reviews mention the pub can be a bit noisy, the overall experience is described as peaceful and relaxing, with the occasional rabbit sighting adding a touch of whimsy.

    Good spot to stay for the night and the pub was great just down the road. So many bunnies! That was a bit of a surprise for our dogs but they got used to it.

    Great little private spot and the bathroom is really nice too. Bonus pub around the corner with a dog friendly patio. Corey was super helpful in getting us situated. Good spot for bigger rigs but watch the fence on the way out, it’s a bit tight.

    We had another great stay at the Wild Coast Parksville Hipcamp. Cory is a wonderful host and we absolutely love the campsite. We will always try to stay at this Hipcamp every time we are planning on visiting the Parksville area.
