4 nights at Tiny Secrets Farm & Retreat

What a beautiful spot! The cabin was cozy for my family of 4 and a dog but was a great “in between” camping and an Airbnb. So many thoughtful touches the kitchen really has everything you need. The facilities were clean and shower water hot! We hiked every day with the Smugglers Cove a big hit. Truly a magically little area of BC. We will be back!

1 night at Poplar Grove Family Farm

Lovely secluded RV site with everything you need.. water, electricity and excellent wifi. Quirky little walks with surprises around every corner. It was raining while I stayed and the gravel was a good surface. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Weekend Trip to Poplar Grove Family Farm

We loved camping at Lisa’s place. It feels very private and very safe. There is everything a camper needs. Lisa communicated very well and there is a beautiful trail all the way around the property to small play area where all members of our family had so much fun. Lisa was so nice and understanding when our dog started running across her fields and around her property. I felt so bad but she even helped to catch him.

Weekend Trip to Tiny Secrets Farm & Retreat

Great place to stop in for the night. The owner is still developing the property into a fun place to visit. Lots of neat campsites.

1 night at Comox's Little River Bay Hip Camp

This is our second overnight stay. We really appreciated the site, location and great hosts. Thank you.

Weekend Trip to Tiny Secrets Farm & Retreat

We stayed in the renovated school bus for the weekend. The whole property is like a magical little get away and the bus was comfy and cozy during the rain :) The owners were friendly and the dogs and chickens kept us entertained. Come for a weekend to enjoy some of great hikes in the area or just take the time to rest in this little paradise- you won’t regret it!

Weekend Trip to theDoighouse Earthship

Lovely couple, well kept campsite. Very peaceful and welcoming. Highly reccomend camping here!

1 night at Comox's Little River Bay Hip Camp

A great place to spend an evening. We walked the waterfront and enjoyed the fenced off and private campsite. Received a warm welcome. Thank you

4 nights at Tiny Secrets Farm & Retreat

We stayed in the A-frame micro-cabin for 5 days. We are already dreaming of our next visit! Despite getting the "atmospheric river" vacation treatment, it had virtually all the amenities you could ask for in for a rainy day of off-grid living. It was beautiful and felt quiet (minus all the chorus frogs at night :D) and luxurious. The hosts were responsive and friendly, we even got some doggo time as they let their dogs roam near the chicken coop. Couldn't ask for a better "glamp" experience!

Weekend Trip to Tiny Secrets Farm & Retreat

I loved our stay on this magical school bus! Karen and Tito had the bus cleaned and ready before we’ve arrived. They provided us with clear instructions and a guide for our stay. Although I did not get a chance to meet them, they were extremely communicative through text to ensure we arrived safely. This is one of the coolest experiences I’ve ever had. I also had the best sleep of my life! I would recommend this to everyone that is looking for a glamping experience.

2 nights at Mountainaire Campground and RV Park

Nice place, beautiful view of the night sky (if not, cloudy!), and we were isolated. There was a little bit of noise in the morning from dump trucks a few hundred meters away, but we didn't mind. Bring loonies for shower ($1/7 minutes) and washing was loonies plus quarters (I think it was 2.50 for a wash, but I didn't do any washing while there)

2 nights at Tiny Secrets Farm & Retreat

The bus is adorable and cozy! There were some issues, apparently caused by some recent inclement weather, but the hosts are incredibly sweet and were very responsive to fix things as they came up. The "magic sack" was an especially nice touch to help unwind, and that bed is insanely comfortable! Many thanks to Karen, Kito, and Amos.

25 nights at Decourcy Meadows

I love this spot. Quiet and serene in nature. Hosts are the best - what more can be said. Just love it.

Weekend Trip to Mountainaire Campground and RV Park

great little campground close to the airport! Laundry and showers! Exactly what a girl needed!

Weekend Trip to Moon Gate Farms

We’ve stayed at Evonne & Darrell’s on a couple of occasions now and enjoyed our experience both times. They are wonderful and thoughtful hosts and their property is very beautiful and well maintained thanks to their hard work and dedication. The first time we camped and the second time we stayed in the little cabin. We loved both experiences and hope to come back again in the future.

1 night at theDoighouse Earthship

Cozy and clean, we loved our stay in the cabin. Cubic stove kept us toasty and all the amenities were there to keep us comfortable. Hosts are friendly and knowledgeable, highly recommend the add-on tour of the earth ship !!

Weekend Trip to Tiny Secrets Farm & Retreat

Had a great little stay at this cozy micro-cabin! Nestled in the woods and private. Karen and Kito were both kind and helpful hosts. We’re looking forward to coming back in the summer!

Weekend Trip to Mountainaire Campground and RV Park

We had a tough time getting there with the ferry and all, but once we got to the campsite and settled in, it was amazing. The site was pretty secluded. The people that were there were all really nice. The area was covered in snow which made it beautiful. My wife and I had a great time snow camping.

1 night at theDoighouse Earthship

Great site! Amazing hosts and and incredible earthship to tour. We will be back.

1 night at Poplar Grove Family Farm

We had a fantastic stay! The power and WiFi were great! The site was very private and surrounded by lots of lovely trees. Lisa is a very helpful host, we would highly recommend!

RV camping in Sunshine Coast BC guide

Overview

The Sunshine Coast stretches for more than 100 miles from Howe Sound to Desolation Sound in the southwest corner of mainland British Columbia. Accessible only by ferry, boat, or plane, it has a laid-back island feel, where nature and adventure come together—and there are plenty of camping and RV options for those who bring their vehicle on the ferry or rent one upon arrival. Set up the RV in idyllic Halfmoon Bay, on the Powell River, or perhaps at an orchard campsite near Roberts Creek. Look out for private RV campsites with dump stations, oceanfront picnic tables, and no neighbors to be seen, or choose a convenient RV park near a town like Gibsons. Wherever you choose, you’ll be close to rainforest and beaches where you can see the stars and watch for whales.
