Hi. My name is Christian and welcome to my beautiful Forest Sanctuary on the slopes of Mt. Elphinstone in Roberts Creek on the Sunshine Coast. My property is a magical, private nature retreat created in the spirit of love and reverence for the land on which it is built. It is a sanctuary to nurture the body, mind and spirit. A place to come back to One's Self. I have taken a piece of forest and transformed it into a Premium camping experience with pastures, terraces, pathways, a pond and island, level campsites with grass and sand and a communal outdoor pavilion lounge with fully stocked kitchen at your disposal. A large communal campfire is available. I have solar showers too. This is a magnificent place to bring the kids, a wonderful place to hang with friends and family, a peaceful place for lovers and a great place to come on your own to remember how awesome and talented you really are. I can accommodate larger groups, workshops and parties. Ask me about renting the entire site for private gatherings. My fully stocked pavilion, kitchen and lounge has all the cookware, dishware and utensils needed to prepare your meal. There is also a BBQ and Coleman stove with propane provided. Drinking water is provided. Firewood is free when campfires are permitted. For bathing I have a solar shower and a little aquifer-fed pond for clean, cold water dips. If you want something a little fancier I have a great little off-grid camping cabin which rents for $135/night. You can ask me about it. My campsite is located in Roberts Creek, British Columbia. Roberts Creek is a peaceful, eclectic, rural community seated between Gibsons and Sechelt, and possesses a stunning blend of beaches, forest, and some of the friendliest people you will come across. A relaxing atmosphere awaits you here, where both your artistic and outdoor adventure self is sure to feel at home. Please note I am 2 kms up a well maintained private gravel road. 2 wheel drive vehicles are ok.Hi. My name is Christian and welcome to my beautiful Forest Sanctuary on the slopes of Mt.

My all-time favorite camp spot!

16 ft car

I camped in many places, but I’ve never camped in a place quite like this! From the time that I met Christian, he was so welcoming and warm and took the extra time to show me the land he has so lovingly curated for people like me, looking for a sanctuary from everyday life. To say that he went above and beyond to make my experience a memorable one from the start is an understatement! This time of the year, I was the only person camping, but I felt so completely at home and surrounded by such amazing forest and land. The location is great, if you’re looking for wonderful places to eat in either direction, as well as being really close to water. Christian is also taking the time to put together a list of places to eat, things to go do, places to go hike, etc. I wish I could have stayed another day or so, but I will be back! My drive to get to the destination was 2000 miles and included a ferry, and I wouldn’t change it for a thing. It was such an adventure, I can’t wait to be back!

Forest sanctuary, a hidden gem

Beautiful property! Our family enjoyed a 1 night stay. Loved the campfire, outdoor kitchen amenities and solar shower. We’d love to come back!

This is a book without hesitation kind of experience. We had an amazing time at Christian’s piece of the forest with our three year old daughter. Christian is very kind and hospitable and went above and beyond what’s necessary to help us out and make sure we had a good stay. We will definitely be repeat visitors. The campsite itself is incredibly thought through and comfortable - grassy or sandy camp sites, a clean outhouse, a forest shower, a kitchen in the middle of the forest and more stars than we have seen in a very long time.

Beautiful camping experience!

21 ft campervan · With kids

Christian was a wonderful host! The property is beautiful and the amenities perfect. We were super close to the mountain bike trails and it was close to town. Our toddler had a great time in the pond and running around the soft grass.

Christian's campground is a testament to the effort and care that has gone into creating a truly unique place. It's incredible to see how he's transformed a forest into a peaceful retreat. What I love most is the chance to reconnect with nature—no electricity, and water drawn from a well. The communal kitchen is a fantastic idea; we made wonderful friends with another family there. The kids especially enjoyed the pond. While the concept of showering in the woods is interesting, an enclosed option would be appreciated for those who prefer more privacy. Christian was incredibly helpful and patient, always ready to answer my numerous questions. If we ever ran out of anything or needed assistance, he was right there to help. We had a great time sitting by the firepit with Christian and the other campers, which was an experience in itself.

Christian was kind and accomodated our group of 3 last minute. Everything went well and the forest sanctuary is spectacular. Christian was clear and communicative and provided great recomendations. We particularly enjoyed the ability to access the B&K mountain bike trails directly from the property. Thanks for everything!
