Rauhala Heritage Farm is a privately owned farm on the outskirts of the town of Sointula, on Malcolm Island, B.C.
Rauhala is surrounded by a 100 acre forest with our own private bay with fields, a creek and a beach campsite area there you can look out at the mountains of Northern Vancouver Island, where you may get to see some whales.
Bring your own water. Pack-in/Pack-out garbage.
You get to set up camp on our beach campsite, which overlooks the ocean and mountains.
There are many hiking trails on our property where you can view some giant old growth trees.
Rauhala is a heritage site and I do offer eco-heritage tours of the property. Rauhala means Place of Peace in the Finnish language and dates back to the early Finnish settlement of Sointula.

We had an amazing stay at Nahum's property on Malcolm Island! The property was peaceful and the campsite was great. The orchard was a highlight—we loved picking and eating Nehum's fresh fruit especially the blueberries! The cozy barrel sauna gets HOT and there is the cabin to change in, for added comfort. Nehum was a great host and very welcoming. Overall, a wonderful stay, and we’re already looking forward to coming back! 10/10

This is a well named quaint property: the end of Malcolm Island. This is no glamping kind of cabin, but the host/owner Nahum was very friendly. The sauna and cold tub and outdoor heated on-demand shower and composting toilet were treats for an otherwise rustic experience. He may even offer you a taste of his craft brewed apple cider from his new orchard ~ this was top notch! Great to meet you Nahum!

The host was kind and informative. He gave a detailed tour of the property and the amenities, and told us of some of the events going on all over Malcolm Island for Salmon Days!
Very quiet property, we set up a tent in the orchard and had lots of privacy and places to relax. Sadly, we didn't use the sauna or hot tub this time around, but we will on our next visit. I did grab a couple raspberries and nasturtium flowers to add to our salad from Nayams garden. The outside shower was awesome and the composting toilet didn't actually stink which is always nice when using an outhouse haha
All around 4/5 stars would recommend.

Nahum’s place was amazing! He’s very generous with his space and there are plenty of campgrounds with varying amounts of privacy. It was hard to believe he’s only been there for a few years. The whole yard was beautiful. Walk to the beach was quick and easy. Highly recommend.

Interesting stay… seems everyone books tent site 10 then randomly picks an open camp site. We arrived to find a bunch of guys in what we thought was our site, we parked as best we could on the first night. The second night we had two more campers packed around us. They were also in site 10! Go figure! Bathrooms were clean with large pay for showers… but only 2 for the entire park! Lots of back up’s waiting…

Magical spot to have all to ourselves. Our kids could be kids without me being nervous of their noise at 5am. We saw whales several times and the biggest pieces of kelp we’ve seen before. Host provided a brief tour on arrival and offered heaps of firewood. The property was neat to walk around - a bit overgrown but still maneuverable in sandals. We’ll absolutely be back.

This property is the one of the best camping experiences I have ever had! Stunning views, whales and porpoises in the water all the time, total seclusion, and Roger is such an excellent and thoughtful host.. He gave us full privacy but checked in when it was raining to make sure we were ok. There is so much to explore, and I cant wait to go there again!

We loved Rahaula Heritage Farm so much that we extended our stay. And a good thing we did as we saw almost 20 Eagles feasting off shore. In addition to more whales and porpoises. It’s a magical spot and Roger an excellent host.

Rauhala Heritage Farm is an incredible property. We had the beach to ourselves and watched whales, porpoises and close to 20 eagles feeding off shore. Roger was a pleasant and informative host. It more than lived up to its Finnish name ‘Place of Peace’. We’re already looking forward to our next trip here.

Overview
About
Quatsino Provincial Park, a hidden gem on Vancouver Island, beckons the adventurous at heart. Here, the untamed wilderness meets the vast Pacific, offering a plethora of marine activities. Kayakers glide amid the serene waters, while hikers traverse the lush, moss-draped trails. Although the park's remote nature means camping facilities are sparse, the opportunity for wildlife encounters and the tranquility of nature's embrace more than compensate for the rustic experience.
When to go
The prime time to visit Quatsino Provincial Park is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is most favourable for outdoor activities. However, be mindful of the winter season, as heavy rainfall and storms can make access challenging and limit the enjoyment of the park's natural splendour.
Know before you go
- Check weather conditions before your trip, as the park is subject to sudden changes in weather.
- Prepare for limited facilities; bring all necessary supplies, including water and food.
- Be aware of local wildlife and practice safe wildlife viewing etiquette.
- Respect the natural environment by following Leave No Trace principles.
- Verify access routes and park accessibility, as some areas may be seasonally closed.
