We spent our first and last nights of our visit to Vancouver Island here. Clean. Relatively quiet considering its proximity to the highway. Friendly owner. Great WIFI. And did I mention clean. Great place to stay. We’ll be back.

The friendliest owner!!! Our site (#1) was in the trees and very private. We wish we had known about this place sooner as we would have loved to stay for longer than we were able to.

The park is incredibly clean. I mean immaculate with trimmed lawns, flowers, and such. Friendly staff and the park is super quiet. Only noise you hear is from the hwy, but the sound tapers off by evening for a restful sleep. There is a near by river, a huge play area, dog friendly, badminton nets, washroom facilities etc. I would definitely stay here again. Oh and also provides full service hookups for RVs.

5 stars, spent the winter season here. Hated to leave, hosts are the kindest people. We had deer, quail, rabbits, 20+ different birds all come to our site. Great walk to the river. We will return!

Disappointing experience. Despite reserving and paying upfront for the campsite at arrival they couldn't retrieve our reservation. The unfriendly older lady told us that "she never makes mistakes" and that we had to pay (again). Even after I showed the credit card payment receipt there were no excuses from her side for this unfriendly behavior. My suggestion to use in the future an e-mail confirmation to avoid these kind of discussions was dismissed: "we don't do e-mail". Clearly not up to their task anymore. There are many more campsites on the Island that are far less expensive and much more friendlier than this one. Maybe that's the reason why it was almost empty in middle of peak season....

Very kind and helpful owners, gorgeous place to camp. Plenty of space in each lot, a great place to stop and stay en route to/from Victoria.

Checking in was a breeze and the woman who helped us is an absolute sweetheart. The bathrooms are sparkling clean. The river is gorgeous. Can’t wait to come back!

Lovely spot! Clean, well maintained, friendly, and accommodating. Dog friendly. The river is a 5 minute walk from the campground. (May take a little longer coming back, up hill but totally worth it.) Tranquil morning while the dogs romped in the river, great way to start the day. Thank you Jeri & John for your hospitality.
