All to yourself

100% of recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp felt private.

Enjoy the private seclusion of the woods as our 8-acre property backs to Crown land near the Valhalla Mountains. Only a 3-minute walk to the house and family farm. There is a bear cache for food storage, an outhouse and a clean water spigot. As well as 2 tent areas, a fire pit and a large kitchen area. Spend your days playing in the mountains, floating on the river, shopping at town markets, or just sleeping all day while enjoying the fresh air. We have two campsites available for tent or RV campers. If you're bringing an RV, we can accommodate vehicles up to 30ft in length. The site is flat and electrical hookups are available. Amenities include potable water and wifi. Our property is close to Valhalla Provincial Park which is home to some of the most beautiful hikes in BC. Campfires are permitted as long as there is no fire ban.Enjoy the private seclusion of the woods as our 8-acre property backs to Crown land near the Valhalla Mountains.

Lovely stay for one night in an RV. Very lovely family, we felt very welcomed and they accommodated our needs well. Beautiful views and trails around. The area to park is large, a little boggy at this time but we managed. Would definitely recommend :)

Camping off the grid.

Tent

This was a wonderful experience. I stayed two nights and I should have planned to stay longer. It's off the beaten path, but not too far out so it makes a good place to settle in and explore outwards from. The hosts were very friendly and gave me a tour of the property when I arrived as promised. The area for the tent sites is a nice walk away from the main house and I felt like I was almost camping in the wilds as it backs on to crown land. The area is surrounded by mountains and its a short walk down to the river where I had a nice dip in the refreshing but not too cold water. I stayed two nights in my tent, and enjoyed some sausages and chili i cooked over a fire pit. I came prepared with bug spray but I seem to have lucked out as I never had to put any on and didn't get a single bite! Its a short drive away to a local co-op where you can get coffee and other supplies you may need. I would definitely recommend this as an experience for someone who isn't afraid to rough it a bit (no showers / flushing toilet, but are those really part of true camping?). The spring water from the spigot was amazing and I slept really well. I think I will probably come back next summer as I had a really great time.

A Hidden Gem!

Tent · Group trip

Fantastic hidden gem! Kristan and Brooke are wonderful, welcoming hosts and super cool people - they made my wife and I feel right at home. Quiet, private, and very off grid feel in a stunning location. They also kindly gave us a tour of their awesome glass-blowing workshop, some delicious lettuce from their garden, and some great tips for exploring the Valhalla mountains. Would highly recommend to campers and travellers of all kinds!

This was such a great little spot. Kristan and her husband were extremely kind, helpful and hospitable. We loved our short stay here. Not only are their camping sites tucked away nicely, but they are well kept and quite cozy. There is also a really cute and delicious breakfast place not too far from camp. Waterfall access and lots of good climbing also near by. Thank you so much guys. We will be back! (Their dogs, goose and ducks are also very cute)
