Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2023.
The Mad Fox Ranch is a beautiful 160 acre property, tucked away in the mountains. This unique parcel has been homesteaded since the 1930’s and we were fortunate enough to call it our home a few years back. There are swimming holes, a pond, and a bridge to cross over to the walking trails on the other side. We are an off grid, farm that has veggie gardens, greenhouses, cute pigs and chickens. We offer farm fresh eggs from our free range hens to campers for purchase. We’ve decided that this is too beautiful a spot not to share, so we are now offering dry camping on various sites on the property. Wildlife abounds with bears, moose and deer which makes this a hunters paradise as well. Endless logging roads around to explore and find your new favourite berry picking spots. The Mad River meanders in the summer and rushes in the spring with the winters melt. In the heat of summer it still provides a refreshing dip after a hard day of farming or exploring. Come see why we love it here! Our closest neighbour is a seasonal cabin over 4 km away so it provides lots of privacy. Our sites are spaced out with trees in between them and right on the river.

The place is amazing! Sarah and Shawn are wonderful - they helped us with issue with our car and show us around the ranch - and shared with us the amazing space they have created. There's so much to explore, swim and hike around the Ranch. The campsite is right next to the river with good privacy, and plenty of firewood!

We love Sarah and Shawn's ranch. This was our 4th visit there. The perfect get away. The scenery is amazing and it's so peaceful. Especially since it was just my husband and myself this time. We arecreally looking forward to our next summer and going back.

Can't wait to go back
This was our 3rd time coming out to Mad Fox. We love the serenity and the scenery. And the boys really enjoy floating in the river and exploring for frogs. We are really looking forward to going again. Sarah and Shawn are amazing hosts. And we love seeing the different improvements they've made everytime we go.

Awesome campsite on the creek!
Highly recommend this campsite! The creek is beautiful and we loved sitting beside it and watching and listening to it babble all evening while we ate dinner. Shawn met us when we came in and was super friendly. He met us on the way out too and gave us some cucumbers from their amazing greenhouse. The drive in from the main road is rough - 17km logging road - but our 35 foot rig did great as we took it slow. I wish we’d stayed more than one night and explored the farm and acreage a bit more. There’s a lot to see there! And a lot to learn from a couple who are living off-grid and totally thriving.
