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 site. There are four sites to choose from according to your needs. 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 small van fridge/stove and 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. Birkenhead Lake Provincial Park is a literally walkable from our farm and there you can hike, fish, swim, paddle, and more! This road is maintained by Canadian Department of Forestry. It is a gravel road that in winter would require 4x4. Otherwise we've seen many EVO cars (Prius Hybrid or fully electric Kia Niro) and even fancy BMW sedan's on this road.

So Damn Lucky Glamping
8 sites · Lodging9 acres · BCWe’re so damn lucky to have made Vancouver Island our home for more than 30 years, revelling in its natural beauty while raising our family and, until recently, running a successful restaurant for over 20 years in the Comox Valley.Over the years, we’ve enjoyed seeking out fun and adventure all over Vancouver Island – from kayaking and mountain biking to skiing and hiking. As recently retired restaurateurs, we still have a desire to share our passions for food, friends and outdoor fun, so we’ve come up with a new venture that allows us to do just that: So Damn Lucky Glamping.Following the sale of our restaurant, we undertook extensive renovations to our Comox home. Living in the Comox Valley is such a privilege – so many outdoor adventures to be had.In recent years we’ve been fortunate enough to spend our summers enjoying the spectacular surroundings of Mussel Beach, Ucluelet (near Tofino). Living in a cozy, renovated trailer (our tiny home), perched on the ocean’s edge, we’ve come to love our little piece of paradise among the wild rainforests of the Pacific Rim. We are so damn lucky we met Lori and Curtis (Mussel Beach) and we are able to do what we do. We want to share this little piece of paradise.Perfect for anyone (singles, couples, families) looking to get away from it all, we know you’ll enjoy every minute of your time here!We love where we live and we love that we can share our enthusiasm for Vancouver Island with you!

Azhen Sanctuary
6 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents160 acres · Rock Creek, BCAzhen Sanctuary was founded and built by two brothers.With the help of family and good friends.Jaymie and Shelby Friesen were raised in the construction trades and started their first business at age 13.One might have described “the Friesen boys” as overly rambunctious as they grew up getting into trouble and having a little too much fun – or is there such a thing?Through pain and laughter their paths have lead them here and given them the skills to create a better way of living and to offer those teachings to others.Here are their stories.Get to know Jaymie…At 10 years old Jaymie was sweeping floors on job sites and grew into building custom homes from the ground up with his dad and grandfather.Though a valuable skill, it also lead him to see a trap in modern society – working a job you don’t like to pay off the student debt that got you there, and to afford the house you hardly spend time in; running through life unconsciously.This made him dream of a better way to live.Jaymie experienced fights with depression and rivalries at school until dropping out in Grade 11. He spent a year reading, meditating, doing yoga and building the philosophy by which he would live his life.He dreamed of and planned to build a homestead filled with good community, which was the basis of what has become Azhen.Ironically, the people that were once rivalries became friends and co-owners of this sacred place… such are the beautiful things of life.Jaymie walked his path as usual, founding several businesses and travelling the world, until some bizarre incidents uncovered his dissociative disorder caused by childhood trauma.This was a mental health issue that had both haunted him and saved his life during the rougher moments of his upbringing.With the help of his brother, his healing journey led him back to his Indigenous heritage, ceremony, and meditation.These days you can find Jaymie roaming through the forest smiling at life.He swears the aliens will come take him home one day.Get to know Shelby…As a kid Shelby was shipped off every summer to work with his uncles.This was the beginning of his mastery of the metal trades and his talent for making you laugh until you cry… or just cry.He spent the beginning of his career helping build custom $15-30m homes in Whistler, BC, and working as a boiler maker before starting RYD Motorsports where his design skill and attention-to-detail garnered national attention.A mix of partying, crappy food, lots of sugar, and the normalization of an unhealthy lifestyle combusted into severe anxiety and depression.Shelby was bed-ridden for months and couldn’t work for almost 2 years.At first he thought he could walk into a doctor and get fixed up with a pill, as most of us have been led to believe. This was the opening of his Pandoras box when it came to understanding the many broken systems in society.His journey led him to nutrition, fitness, breathwork, mindfulness, community, and ceremony… and even believing some of the “conspiracy theories” Jaymie used to tell him about.These days you can find Shelby in the kitchen creating wicked beyond organic meals, out on weekend adventures, or training for his next half-Ironman.Shelby swears if the aliens don’t take them home one day they’ll solve anti-gravity and build a ship of their own.

All camping options

It’s hard to describe British Columbia as anything other than wildly breathtaking—quite literally when you swim in one of the province’s many turquoise glacier lakes, ride a wave, or catch a glimpse of a bear in the forest. For camping experiences and road trips, BC offers privately operated campgrounds and RV parks; a major network of parks with reservable and first-come, first-served tent camping sites; yurts and cabins; and thousands of recreation sites and trails on beaches, lakes, mountains, and meadows. Thanks to the mild climate and some winter huts, camping is possible year-round.

West Coast

The Pacific Ocean runs along the length of BC, offering plenty of oceanside spots to explore. On Vancouver Island, Tofino and Pacific Rim National Park are famous for cold-water surfing, whale watching, and hot springs, while nearby Ucluelet is a fisher’s paradise. Further inland, campers can find riverside camping in Squamish; backcountry huts around the resort town of Whistler; and reservable tent pads overlooking the jewel-toned Joffre Lake. For a true off-the-grid experience, head to Haida Gwaii's Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve—set about 100 kilometres off the northern British Columbia coast, this area is only reachable by sea or air.

Northern British Columbia

The northern part of the province is all raw, rugged beauty, with unique culture and untouched natural beauty. Soak in Canada’s second-largest hot spring in Fort Nelson, watch salmon spawning in the many rivers, and peek at bears catching some themselves at Kleanza Creek Provincial Park in Terrace. Options for outdoor stays include vast wilderness resorts, remote cabins, and private beach, lakefront, or rainforest campsites—but note that cell service and WiFi are rare in these parts. Bonus: Given its far north location, it’s relatively easy to snag last-minute campsites that still offer peace and quiet.

Cariboo Chilcotin Coast

With a blend of history, wildlife, adventure, and expansive grasslands, the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast is true Canadian countryside. Campers come to this wild western spot to spend time in the Great Bear Rainforest and at alpine rivers (whitewater rafting is big here), but travelers usually also visit lakeside fishing lodges and historic Gold Rush towns such as Barkerville. Tweedsmuir Provincial Park is a prime spot for the chance to spot a grizzly bear.

Kootenay Rockies

Set in the province’s southeastern corner and part of the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage Site, the Kootenays are home to four national parks: Glacier, Kootenay, Mount Revelstoke, and Yoho. Here you’ll find unrivaled wildlife—think black bears, mountain goats, and elk—much of which can be spotted even from the highway. Throughout the region are glaciers, peaks, waterfalls, and quirky little towns such as Golden, Cranbrook, and Kimberley, the highest in Canada at 1,113 meters up. Camping and tenting is typically open between May and September, with limited winter options.
