Great place, Shauna and her husband were so nice! Can’t wait to go back in the spring when the creek is going to be full.
Thanks for having us!

I loved camping at Osprey Acres - the property is stunning and Shauna was so helpful and friendly. She gave us loads of tips for the local area and beyond and we loved the walks, the wonderful set up and seeing all the animals. Felt like a little slice of paradise

Beautiful location along a creek near Sun Peaks resort. The porta potty and outdoor shower are super clean and have a cabin style feel. There were also string lights in the trees, a picnic gazebo, and hammocks. Great hosts! Will stay again.

Chris was a very friendly host; we booked last minute but he was able to accommodate us and was very welcoming. The sign for the campsite was a little tricky to find in the dark, but I’m sure during the day this would be easier. We enjoyed the outdoor shower too!

Firkin camp site, surrounded by nature on a river was soul soothing. Very private and peaceful. Outhouse, picnic table and potable water tap on site. Host and site, a camper’s delight. Thank you, we very much enjoyed our stay.

Stephan’s bus was great. Clean and rustic but quite comfortable. It is in a somewhat industrial setting but has a phenomenal view. Recommend for sure.

We loved the camping there! The two hosts were super nice people and we ended up chatting quite a while while they showed us around. The campsite is very nice too: the pit toilet has a water bucket to wash hands and soap. Each campsite has a picknick table. There was only one other guest that night, so it was relatively privat. Would absolutely recommend.

We had a wonderful time. My son enjoyed learning about the farm and surrounding areas. The little beach at Pinantan lake was perfect. The general store has literally everything you need - store, gift shop , liquor store , cannabis store and laundramat all in one. The trails are great. Highly recommend and will definitely be back

Very relaxing and peaceful campground we enjoyed it quite a lot and also there were no mosquitoes so that was a bonus. The sheep were fun to see and Gillian’s very cute and friendly. We also enjoyed the coyote chorus each evening!
Gillian gave me a ride up to her place on her ATV to fill my water container too. We would stay there again for sure!

Peaceful and private. Sleeping to the sound of the river flowing and crickets chirping is my idea of the best lullaby. A short jaunt away is a little swimming hole to enjoy on those hot summer days as well. A big thank you to Bryan and Karen for sharing this gem of a spot!!

We loved the camping at Shauna’s land. She and her husband were so welcoming and kind. It was very easy to get to the place, we stayed there on our way to the Rockies. They already had one tent setup and offered us to use it. Since we arrived when it was dark, we were very thankful for this option. I would stay there again and definitely recommend it!
