To protect both our animals and our guests, we have livestock guardian dogs on the property. These dogs are highly trained to safeguard the farm, and their presence ensures your safety as well. You may hear them barking at night as they work to keep other animals away from our land. While they are very friendly, we kindly ask that you do not pet, feed, or interact with them. We do provide earplugs for your comfort, and we appreciate your understanding that these dogs are here for your well-being. To get to us you have to drive about 12km up a government maintained dirt road. Everyone who has come says the road is in way better shape than they thought it would be. Google maps will bring you right to the driveway (One of our employees drives a Honda Civic and has had no problems year round). We will send instructions on how to get here 48 hours upon your arrival! Leave the hustle behind and join us for a magical experience. The road may be dirt, but the journey is pure magic. We can't wait to host you!

Scenic Off-Grid Camp + Sauna/Plunge

My wife and I had an amazing time at Azhen Sanctuary! I can't say enough about how accommodating they were. When we arrived, Carson gave us a tour of the property and did a great job explaining how everything works. When we picked a spot to camp, we realized our tent was broken and had no way to fix it. Carson was kind enough to lend us a tent, saving us a trip all the way to Osoyoos as it was getting dark. We really appreciated that! We loved the spa and the entire property. Jaymie and his whole crew are down-to-earth and great people to be around. The place has great vibes and a real community feel. I had a chance to chat with Jaymie, and he shared his vision for the sanctuary and all the hard work they've put into it, along with some cool projects they're working on to make it even more of a Zen haven. We will be back next year and are already looking forward to it!

Scenic Off-Grid Camp + Sauna/Plunge

Loved camping at Shelby's. Carson was an excellent host with very clear instructions, and also provided a tour of property and amenities. We arrived on a day with absolutely clear skies, so we got to experience a really beautiful night sky with views of galaxy, constellations and stars. The shared kitchen is a lovely place to relax and meet new people. Overall we had a great time. Looking forward to come again. :)

Scenic Off-Grid Camp + Sauna/Plunge

Best camping ever!

Incredible experience! The perfect get away for a luxurious, rustic adventure. Couldn’t be happier with the level of service and accommodations. Can’t wait to come back. The lounge/community kitchen is perfect. The sauna/cold plunge was glorious. The upper sauna and swimming hole is a must. Our host was incredible and we highly recommend a stay here!

I car camped in one of the many spots to choose from and absolutely recommend you to do the same. I was close enough to the lower spa area yet far enough away to be in my own little area. If you want a nice quiet and relaxing weekend away, this is definitely a must.
