This is a quiet forested residential area in Sinixt territory. Recommended activities include floating down the river, canoeing the lake, hiking or climbing in Valhalla Park, soaking in Halfway Hot Springs or indulging in Nelson. We are surrounded by beautiful mountains and rivers. This valley has many outdoor activities and events and a very interesting history and culture including Sinixt, Doukhobor, Cannabis and Conscientious Objector. Nelson, Castlegar and Slocan Lake are all a half hour drive away. There are many other special places nearby such as the Goddess Pools and the Emerald Pools. Supplies and services are available nearby including firewood, toiletries, dog day care, massage, bike and canoe rentals, life jackets, rubber dingys and paddles etc. Let us know if you would like a referral to any of these services. There are many guides available for activities in the area including (water sports, climbing, skiing, hiking, artist tours, events, geology, mining, mushrooms, cannabis, garden tours and native history). There is a particularly valued native storyteller here that can also provide a walking tour to a nearby village site with a full scale replica of an aboriginal kekuli (earth house). Please call ahead for recommendations on booking guides or storytellers. You don't need one to get here, but its good to have a 4 wheel drive vehicle for some of the logging roads that are worth visiting. Roof and/or bike racks can also come in handy. The Vallican Whole community center also has events nearby.

Tent Site 3 for multiple tents
This spot was such a gem. Great location with a lot of lovely shared space extras. We loved the group campfire and meeting Tom. We would highly recommend his place to anyone in the area.

Tent Site 3 for multiple tents
Tom has a very cool set up for people who don’t want busy, crammed and expensive provincial camping. The community building and bathrooms are so handy! We had a wonderful time, found some cool hikes, a swimming hole and chatted with other campers. Tom is very knowledgeable about the area and has some great information to share! We will be back!

Valhalla Pines Tree Hut
I love the Tree Hut house. It is new experience to stay out of the city. The place is quiet and peaceful and the host Tom is very helpful. The washroom is clean and flushable. The common ground made our life easier.

Valhalla Pines Tree Hut
We were welcomed the second we arrived! Everything was so clean and organised. Hot showers were a huge plus. The tree hut was cozy and comfortable. There were wild turkeys that came for a visit everyday. It was the perfect getaway! Highly recommend 10/10!
