Repeat visit!
This was our second time staying at the site. This time we just slipped in in the evening and left in the morning, but it was nice to return to a spot that we felt was wonderful and comfortable at the end of our trip.

Love the peace and quiet
I love Gio's property. Peaceful, quiet, remote... yep not much around, which is just great! I've camped in two spots on his property now, and had wonderful experiences both times. About a 4.5 km hike to the trestle bridge (trailhead is just 1km down the road from Gio's)

Couldn’t have asked for a more peaceful 4 days of camping. Only a short ride to rails to trails biking and the amazing Kinsol trestle. Giovanni responded quickly to all our questions and Loretta was a fantastic host. We would go again in a heartbeat, Sue

Fantastic site in every way!
This site was fantastic in all ways. Quiet and serene, clean and airy pit toilet, very helpful host on site if needed. Giovanni was very responsive to all of our questions and generous in many ways. Really a perfect spot to stop and rest and so close to the Lake Cowichan trail.

Giovanni has a nice property just off the Cowichan Valley trail. This was a perfect stopping point for bikepacking the Cowichan Valley 8. I spent two nights here, doing the loop to Cowichan Lake and Duncan on my second day. Highly recommended! Giovanni is great!
