The vintage trailer sucked that it had no screens. I was tormented by wasp. I'm told owners don't care. I believe it's over priced for a glorified tent. Stove and fireplace is for looks only. Good size fridge tho. That's really too bad because I might have booked again.

The place is truly beautiful — stunning views of the water and unforgettable sunset (as you can see in the pictures). But unfortunately, it’s hard to enjoy this natural beauty because of the overly strict rules. Quiet hours are enforced so early and so strictly that even walking quietly at 10 PM led to complaints from neighboring campers — they said the sound of our footsteps was disturbing their sleep! What happened to enjoying the peaceful nights, the moonlight, the stars, and the fresh evening breeze? If you’re looking to fully experience the magic of island nights, this might not be the right place.

Bradsdads Campgroud site on Hornby Island is great! The service and warmth exceptional. They are busy, friendly and efficient. We stayed in a retro camper on site. Such a cute idea, however, super uncomfortable beds in our trailer. I checked in our neighbours retro trailer and they had a much more comfortable bed. I would recommend updating the mattress for the beds in the smallest trailer, otherwise we were very happy otherwise. Happy to return to another camper

Bradsdadsland is the perfect campsite to stay at on Hornby. It has plenty of amenities such as showers, laundry, a compost/recycling/garbage centre, a small “store” with essentials at the main check-in area, different types of sites available with different features, and a playground for kids. It is very family-friendly and very well maintained. The sites are all private and it is close to the ferry. Everyone is extremely friendly. I highly recommend this site!

Great campsite with amazing views! Facilities are clean and the staff are really nice. My only point of feedback is the showers are $1 for 2 minutes, which is pretty short. But it was still great to have a clean hot shower at the end of the day!

Very explicit instructions and rules. 28 page good read. A but pricy for the experience. However clean. Went in off season and Martin was friendly. Hidden fees including 4$ and 15$ change of reservation dates even outside of 14 day deadline, booking fee, even in off season.

Well my journey starts when I booked and put a deposit of $130.00 on April 5th 2021 for a campsite for July 30 to August 3rd 2022. As I grew up on Denman island and I had connections with Brad/Izzy I was looking forward to camping with my son and grandchildren for the long weekend at Bradsdadsland. My son passed away on July 31st 2021 as we couldn't have a celebration for him due to covid we eventually decided to have his celebration on the day that he passed. So in February of 2022 I phoned the caretaker and explained my situation and that I had to cancel. Thinking I would get my deposit back as 5 months would be plenty of time for someone to book a site. He then told me there would be a cancelation fee and at the moment I said fine but not really knowing what that would be. A week later I phoned back and inquired why my credit card was not credited? He rudely told me he did his part and it was up to the credit card company to do their part, I hung up the phone in disbelief. Three weeks later I phoned back and left a message that I either wanted my deposit or my campsite. He phoned back that day and asked for my card number and the next day my credit card was credited with $54.40. I was shocked that he held back $75.60 dollar for a cancelation fee, I was expecting $10.00 or less! I booked this over the phone and was not told about cancelation fees so just a big warning to now read the fine print as all bookings are done online. Another big warning the friendly caretaker is not so friendly!!!

This is probably the most well-maintained campsite we’ve been to. Washrooms are very clean and are located in two areas. There are potable water sites in a couple areas. Lots are spacious and the campground is encouraged to be quiet. Adirondack chairs overlook the water. Best sunsets on the whole island. The staff are super friendly, welcoming and helpful and have a little shop for extra necessities. Very family friendly, with a little playground. There’s a shower and laundry room as well as a really tidy garbage and recycling room. I highly recommend staying here!

We've been to Hornby many times but this was our first visit to Bradsdadsland and it was fabulous. The campsite is well run, and there is always somebody about to lend a helping hand. They are the kindest, friendliest people you'll meet! Plus the views, and especially the sunsets are breathtaking! Bradsdadsland is another great reason for visiting Hornby Island.
