The Sanctum on Highline Road

11 sites · Tents142 acres · Lillooet, BC

Situated on a mountain plateau overlooking beautiful Anderson Lake there is a rugged beauty to this land. Through a quirk of geography, our land is remote and wild while only being a 3 hour drive from Vancouver. Located at the beginning of the Highline Road popular with adventure seekers, this property is about a 10 minute drive from the Anderson Lake boat launch in D'Arcy. The lake is a fisherman's dream known for its rainbow and bull trout. Paddle boarding, hiking, biking, and motorized sports are among the activities enjoyed in the area. Upon ascending the initial gravel road climb, you will be greeted with fantastic mountain and lake views. Pines, cedars, firs, birch, and aspen make up the forest cover while junipers and wildflowers find their home in the clearings between the trees. Hot during the day and cool at night, the views truly glow just before sunset and then again as the moon rises to cast pale shadows on a land free from light pollution. The property is still under development, so please excuse the mess as we build out our off-grid spa and amenity spaces. Currently we only offer a compost toilet, but stay tuned for a further refined experience that will include access to water, showers, 6 person hammocks, and trails. At this time we do not allow fires due to local fire ban, but CSA approved propane fire pits will soon be available for rent.

Wild Farm with Mountain Views

6 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents26 acres · BC

Bright stars and open field where you can tuck into the treed edge next to the deers! The moonlight can be as bright as daytime and the stars are quite a sight. The RV sites are for RV's that are self-sufficient without the need for electricity nor water in or out (no dumping and there is no running water nor an outhouse at RV sites). RV's will be parking on grass and the site requires levelling. We can accommodate vehicles up to 39ft in length. Have your choice of bringing your own tent or using ours! New Glamping Dome Tents with Queen Sized Beds, table and chairs and hammocks including a covered counter for cooking . Unplug and Unwind to the sound of breeze through the trees and romantically flowing water from the nearby creek. There is no cell service or electromagnetic disruption here which makes for a beautiful peaceful mountain retreat. Bring your telescope for the opportunity to see clear, off the grid skies and epic star viewing for the astronomer in you. The bookings are quite private and there is a lot of space between sites. If one of the Dome tents is booked, I block off the other so you'll be the only ones on the whole gravel pad area. There are trees and visual space blocking anyones' view between sites Birkenhead Lake Provincial Park is walkable from our farm and there you can hike, fish, swim, paddle, and more! The road is a gravel road in winter would require 4x4. Otherwise we've seen many EVO cars (Prius Hybrid or fully electric Kia Niro) and even fancy Teslas and BMW sedan's on this road.

Camping near Whistler guide

Overview

Whether you’re an adrenaline junkie or just like to get outdoors, you’ll find lots to do in Whistler, British Columbia’s top outdoor mountain resort. From hiking, mountain biking, canoeing, zip lining, and rock climbing in summer to skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, and bobsledding in the winter months, Whistler has it all, just a two-hour drive from Vancouver along the scenic Sea-to-Sky Highway (Highway 99). Campers have options at Whistler, too, whether you prefer glamping in a yurt or cabin, parking in an RV site, or pitching a tent in the backcountry with views of the glacier-topped peaks.

When to go

The best time to camp, hike, and mountain bike at Whistler is May through early October. Fall is especially nice, with somewhat fewer crowds and vibrant color in the trees. May and June are often less busy, too, although they tend to bring more rainy days. Snow typically starts to fall in November and lingers at high elevations into summer. Whistler-Blackcomb normally opens for the ski season around the U.S. Thanksgiving week and closes in April.

Know before you go

Several bus companies can take you between Vancouver and Whistler, from either the airport (about 2.5 hours) or downtown (two hours).
Whistler has grocery stores, craft breweries, and lots of shops that rent gear for outdoor activities year-round. Businesses in the Function Junction neighborhood south of Whistler Village are more oriented to locals, as are stores in Squamish, 45 minutes to the south by road.
Bears are common in and around Whistler—secure your food and anything else that might attract wildlife.
