Hi. My name is Christian and welcome to my beautiful Forest Sanctuary on the slopes of Mt. Elphinstone in Roberts Creek on the Sunshine Coast. My property is a magical private nature retreat created in the spirit of love and reverence for the land on which it is built. It is a sanctuary to nurture the body, mind and spirit. A place to come back to One's Self. I have taken a piece of forest and transformed it into a Premium camping experience with pastures, terraces, pathways, a pond and island, level campsites with grass and sand and a communal outdoor pavilion lounge with fully stocked kitchen at your disposal. A large communal campfire is available. I have solar showers too. This is a magnificent place to bring the kids, a wonderful place to hang with friends and family, a peaceful place for lovers and a great place to come on your own to remember how awesome and talented you really are. I can accommodate larger groups, workshops and parties. Ask me about renting the entire site for private gatherings. Please note, these are walk-in campsites. Park and make a short walk to your beautiful campsite. One large grass pasture is available upon request for campervan and RV camping. My fully stocked pavilion, kitchen and lounge has all the cookware, dishware and utensils needed to prepare your meal. There is also a BBQ and Coleman stove with propane provided. Drinking water is provided. Firewood is free when campfires are permitted. For bathing I have a solar shower and a little aquifer-fed pond for clean, cold water dips. If you want something a little fancier I have a great little off-grid camping cabin which rents for $150/night. You can ask me about it. My campsite is located in Roberts Creek, British Columbia. Roberts Creek is a peaceful, eclectic, rural community seated between Gibsons and Sechelt, and possesses a stunning blend of beaches, forest, and some of the friendliest people you will come across. A relaxing atmosphere awaits you here, where both your artistic and outdoor adventure self is sure to feel at home. Please note I am two kms up a well maintained private gravel road. 2 wheel drive vehicles are ok.Hi. My name is Christian and welcome to my beautiful Forest Sanctuary on the slopes of Mt.

We had a great stay at Christian's camp site. He made everything possible to make our stay enjoyable. The site is beautiful and the outdoor kitchen super convenient. We loved spending one night in the cosy cabin. Thank you again Christian, we'll come back!

Christian, you have a beautiful forest sanctuary. We could see all the love you have put into your campsite. Even though the weather was rainy we still managed to get in a beautiful hike in the forest. Christian was very helpful and kind. Kat and Mark

My all-time favorite camp spot!

16 ft car

I camped in many places, but I’ve never camped in a place quite like this! From the time that I met Christian, he was so welcoming and warm and took the extra time to show me the land he has so lovingly curated for people like me, looking for a sanctuary from everyday life. To say that he went above and beyond to make my experience a memorable one from the start is an understatement! This time of the year, I was the only person camping, but I felt so completely at home and surrounded by such amazing forest and land. The location is great, if you’re looking for wonderful places to eat in either direction, as well as being really close to water. Christian is also taking the time to put together a list of places to eat, things to go do, places to go hike, etc. I wish I could have stayed another day or so, but I will be back! My drive to get to the destination was 2000 miles and included a ferry, and I wouldn’t change it for a thing. It was such an adventure, I can’t wait to be back!

This is a book without hesitation kind of experience. We had an amazing time at Christian’s piece of the forest with our three year old daughter. Christian is very kind and hospitable and went above and beyond what’s necessary to help us out and make sure we had a good stay. We will definitely be repeat visitors. The campsite itself is incredibly thought through and comfortable - grassy or sandy camp sites, a clean outhouse, a forest shower, a kitchen in the middle of the forest and more stars than we have seen in a very long time.
