Recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp is romantic.
Please note: we only accommodate RV's, no tents or roof top tents. You need to be fully self contained as there are no bathroom facilities and no nature pees! We are situated on 2 private acres completely surrounded by Elk Lake Regional Park. There are 3 generations of family living here as well as 2 dogs, a one-eyed cat, and chickens! Our campsite is in a beautiful location situated 20 minutes from the Swartz Bay Ferry terminal and downtown Victoria. Access to great hiking just out your door at Elk Lake Regional Park (a 5 min walk to the beach for a swim, paddle, or fish at the nearby fishing dock) and Bear Hill Regional Park (20 min hike through fir and arbutus trees with beautiful views of the peninsula from the top). 10 minutes to Butchart gardens, with Butterfly Garden on the way. Ideal spot for campers looking to stay 1-2 nights. Great as a stopover to Tofino. Perfect for couples or groups of two, with a maximum of 4 campers. There are many wonderful farms and stands, wineries, coffee shops, and restaurants close by. Your site is a semi-private flat gravel area surrounded by fir trees. Easy access and plenty of turnaround room.

Our last stop on the island, we had an amazing stay at Jody’s place. I was really surprised to see some less than great reviews about it! We had a Class B camper and found the spot easy to locate and back into. The spot is nestled amongst beautiful trees at the end of Jody’s drive. You’re semi-near the house but it’s more than private enough! This was a spot where we felt super safe and comfortable. Some reviews mention noise from being near the road, it is close but we had no issue with noise. The location is super near the lake and has a lovely walk down to it. We felt welcomed without the hosts being overbearing.

We loved the little space created, and we were definitely surrounded by nature! Great communication by the host, exactly as described. We plan to stay here again. Especially given we can bring our dogs with us. Many thanks!
