1 night at Camping with Kootenay Born

The hosts were very friendly and the campground was well kept. They offer a lot here, like water and well kept restrooms, a big fire pit & wood, variety of camping spots, a bbq/wash station, and a fenced in area. We got really lucky and had the place to ourselves, we plan to come back in the future

Weekend Trip to Deep Creek Cabin And Tents

Super cute cabin with an outdoor shower, toilet, and fire pit. Cabin was spotless. Very quiet during the night, and lots of cedar trees and gulls nearby made for a coast like feel. Highly recommend.

Weekend Trip to Best West Kootenay Tiny House

It’s the perfect little getaway! Phil was a great host and made it a very quiet, comfortable stay! Will definitely come back, thank you for a great weekend!

Weekend Trip to Deep Creek Cabin And Tents

If you’re looking for the perfect rustic getaway, I highly recommend staying at Deep Creek Cabin on Darcy’s property. It’s got everything you need for an off-grid retreat—except it’s not totally off-grid since it has electricity! The amazing wood stove keeps the place cozy, there’s an outdoor hot shower that’s surprisingly refreshing, and the outhouse adds to the authentic cabin vibe. It’s tucked away in nature, making it the ideal spot to unplug (or not, since there’s power) and just relax. If you love cozy, simple living with modern convenience, this place is definitely worth checking out. Comes highly recommended and will be back. Thanks again to Darcy and his family

Weekend Trip to Rejeanne's Forest on Salt Spring

This spot was tucked away on a quite road, and very close to town. I would definitely stay here again and recommend Rejeanne's site!

1 night at Sea Change Farm and Nursery

Loved tenting here, host was super reliable to contact, the campgrounds are well kept, and they even let us borrow a hatchet when we forgot ours. I would absolutely come back again.

Sunshine Coast Green Zone

3 sites · Lodging, Tents2 acres · Gibsons, BC

This property was purchased nearly half a century ago. For the majority of this time the forest section you will be camping in was left undeveloped, apart from a few mountain bike trails. Recently, as a family, we have seen a large increase in the people traveling to the Sunshine Coast to escape the city limits. Unable to rock up to a campsite and pick our spot like we used to, it was easy to see a growing demand. We have taken everything we love about camping and done our best to give you a sense of what life on the Coast is really about. Please note: By entering onto the property you release all liabilities towards us as hosts. You are choosing to camp in a forested area that contains many hazards as well as potential threats. These include but are not limited to; Wild life (bears, bob cats, cougars etc), Fire is a serious threat to this region during summer months strict no smoking policy is in effect. Care should be taken walking around uneven surfaces. All campers are required to stay within camp boundaries fail to follow these protocols will result in being asked to leave. Please respect this piece of land as much as we do. ~Hope you enjoy your time on the Sunshine Coast

Nile Point - Oceanfront Camping

5 sites · Lodging, Tents20 acres · Sunshine Coast, BC

Hi, my name is Dave. My family and I would like to welcome you to Nile Point, a secluded campsite located on 20 acres of privately owned, oceanfront property on Nelson Island, BC. I consider it the closest thing to paradise. The first you'll need to know about this property is that it's only accessible by boat. This is what makes the campsite so secluded and peaceful. Transportation to and from the island is included with your stay. The stunning 15 minute boat ride to and from Nile Point is one of the many things that makes this a truly unique experience. The second thing you'll need to know is that we offer TWO SITES on the property, a 10x16 TENT PLATFORM and a OCEANFRONT CANVAS TENT WITH ENSUITE (NEW!) with king size bed, in-tent ensuite bathroom and fully stocked outdoor kitchen with potable water, bar fridge and BBQ We have one canoe, one one-person kayak, and a paddleboard. Bring your own water exploring devices if you wish. Our beach is rocky (it ain't a sandy beach!), so bring your good water/rock shoes! This is a great place to stay and explore if you love the wild. It's off the grid, so if you want to unplug from devices and do nothing but relax or play in the ocean and explore the forest, it's perfect. That said, there is cell reception should you need it and a solar charger if you need to charge your devices. There's free parking at the pickup/drop off location in Egmont. Egmont offers a pub, a fancy restaurant, and a charming convenience store with wi-fi. We can take you in to town during your stay for an additional charge. Feel free to reach out with any questions you might have about the property. We hope to see you this summer! Dave
