Welcome to the Wheelie Rad RV Pad (and cabins). A beautifully forested 4 acre property centrally located on Vancouver Island’s east coast, just off the highway, 10 minutes north of Qualicum Beach. That makes us an easy and convenient stopover point if you’re en route up island, ferry-bound, or road-tripping the coast. There are multiple community beach accesses a short drive away. We offer 4 cabins and 1 RV site. Please note that ONLY the RV site is currently bookable on Hipcamp so if you are interested in the cabin rentals, please inquire.Welcome to the Wheelie Rad RV Pad—your private slice of forest chill! Centrally located on the island and nestled on a tree-filled property with tall privacy fences, this pad is the perfect stop in any direction on your coastal adventure. Full hookups, WiFi, pull-through driveway, firepit, picnic table, and rustic outhouse—you’ll have everything you need to relax and recharge. We also have 4 hand-built log cabins on the property available for rent—perfect for mixed-mode camping crews. 🏕️ The Space Tucked into a private, forested property near Qualicum Bay, the Wheelie Rad RV Pad is your ideal base for exploring Vancouver Island—or just kicking back and enjoying nature. This isn’t a crowded campground—it’s a one-site setup designed for travelers who value a little extra space, solitude, and style. Your rig will rest easy on a gravel pull-through driveway, making setup stress-free—no awkward backing-in required! Once you’re settled, enjoy full hookups (water, power & sewer), a firepit for evening hangs, a picnic table for outdoor dining and reliable WiFi. There’s also a rustic outhouse if that’s an amenity you need. The entire pad is surrounded by towering trees and privacy fencing, offering a peaceful, mostly secluded setting just minutes from the highway—but you’ll feel worlds away. One side of the fence is shared with a small cabin that sits in fairly close proximity, while the other side borders another rental set well apart with ample land in between. Even with these neighboring rentals, the site maintains a strong sense of privacy with no direct lines of sight into your space. ⸻ 🧭 Location & Access We’re centrally located on Vancouver Island’s east coast, just off the highway, 10 minutes north of Qualicum Beach. That makes us an easy and convenient stopover point if you’re en route up island, ferry-bound, or road-tripping the coast.

With kids

My three teenage kids and I had a great weekend in the cabin. We were out exploring during the day (Hornby Island is an amazing day trip if you can swing it!) and enjoyed watching movies by the wood stove at night. The kitchen supplies were basic but suitable for our needs. No complaints here, I would definitely go back.

With pets

The cabin was very well stocked, Bree has made a huge effort to think of anything that might be needed. I love that these cabins are dog friendly yet are still meticulously clean. The addition of the indoor toilet makes this a truly full service spot and we look forward to coming back again.

Amazing Cabin!

We loved our stay at Bree’s cabin! The cabin is so spacious and has everything you need! Using the wood furnace for heating was also such a nice feature (not many places have these anymore). Check-in was smooth and the instructions are very clear. Bree is so kind and had great communication with us!
