Nice private tipi surrounded by trees and next to the farm. The sink was nice to have nearby. Garbage and recycling cans near the parking spot. Nice bedding. Picnic table and chairs outside. There is some traffic noise although you can’t see it and it quiets down later. Saw pheasants, rabbit and birds.

Weekend Trip to Woodland at The Shamba
This property felt very private for us! There’s a 2 minute walk down the trail to the tent area, pretty easy to get your stuff there if you’re used to trail walking. Lots of fresh fruit and granola bars provided for us! The toilet is very simple but clean and fine for a couple nights. We brought all the necessary camping equipment minus a tent and sleeping bags. You will need outdoor chairs, a stove, cooler and other camping essentials. This was pretty obvious given the description and reviews so don’t be shocked when it’s just a bed and table! Overall we really liked the area and the tent and bedding were clean and very comfortable, had a great stay!

The natural beauty and remote location were a joy, plus it was close enough to Victoria which makes it a perfect balance between remote and central! Loved it.

4 nights at Woodland at The Shamba
Mielle was a wonderful host. The land was peaceful and lush. The bell tent was clean and spacious.
A few things for future visitors:
The forest is quite humid so the tent has a slight musk smell. We had one exceptionally hot day during our stay and that dried out the tent enough to clear the air but otherwise it is a bit damp. Not unpleasant enough to bother us but slightly noticeable.
Also it is definitely an off-grid tent which is wonderful for those who want to unplug. The host is also very generous and gave us access to a trailer they have on the property that had a flush toilet, electricity and running water.
Some things to note: the tent site is a short distance from the parking so you’ll have to pack in and pack out. There is a ravine in the middle so if you are bringing in a lot of supplies for camping, this will take some time. This site is better suited as an eco-bed and breakfast than a camping site as there is no picnic table, which makes cooking and food preparation challenging. Still, as campers we made it work.
Also worth noting, the composting toilet is actually a bucket but as mentioned, our host gave us access to a trailer with a flush toilet.
Overall we had a lovely stay and would recommend this site to others.

Bernadette and her family are top notch hosts. The tent is beautiful with all the possible camping kitchen gear you might need. All of the sites on property have their own space. The bathroom and shower are clean and easily accessible. Best of all, we were lucky enough to have a detailed farm tour with the animals. Jordan enthusiastically gave us a twilight tour telling us about the animals, sharing special details and stories, and answering so many questions. So much love and care going into this property. A truly magical place!

Had such a lovely stay at Duck Creek! It was the perfect bike camping spot on a beautiful property. I really enjoyed my swims in the pond. Sue was very warm and welcoming. Say hi to Appa for me if you stay there

2 nights at Woodland at The Shamba
What a dream come true! I was looking for a nature getaway that was in the elements & also alluring // smooth on logistics (without the noise of public campgrounds, *ideally*). Mielle’s lotus tent in the cedar forest was *MUCH* more than we bargained for!
I adore cooking while camping (food always tastes best outside), so we brought a camp stove & filled the cooler with delicious local eats, yet didn’t have to worry about setting up a tent —> instead had a glorious, clean, spacious yurt to kick our feet up on a comfortable bed after exploring so many gems & adventures Salt Spring Island has to offer!
Mielle was a -very kind & gracious- host.. there was fresh fruits & snacks upon arrival, clean drinking water, as well as an incredible surprise greeting from her 3yr old Bernese Mountain dog who brightened our stay beyond measure :D
Can’t recommend this place enough; hope to be back some day!

We had a nice time with our doggie at Mielle's place. The tent was large enough to spread out and the bed was comfortable. There was filtered water and fresh fruits/granola bars available on the table. We used this place to explore the parks and trails around and it was amazing. It is a simple, convenient, private option to spend a few days on Salt spring during summertime when you don't want to go camping and are pretty minimalist.

Spacious yurt in a private forested area, great value for your money! Tent was clean and well maintained. Bit of a walk from the parking spot, probably 200 meters, so just be aware if you have a lot of stuff. Bridge was still under construction and a tad sketchy but held up okay. Compostable toilet on site was clean and wood shavings were provided. Only thing it's missing is an outdoor seating/cooking spot so bring camping chairs, we just put our camping stove on the ground but it isn't very flat. Overall had a nice stay!

We had an absolute blast at Sue's farm! We basically had an entire private area to ourselves in the tee pee and it was the perfect little getaway for me, my spouse and my dog. They were very welcoming and even had a pretty cool jewelry. Fair. The one afternoon. We explored the whole property and we're really happy with our decision to stay. I definitely recommend upgrading to the tee pee as it was the perfect balance of camping and comfort.

Amazing!! Sir was lovely and friendly. The farm is gorgeous and the TP is super comfortable. It rained pretty hard both nights and we were cosy and dry the whole time. I will definitely come back :-)
