Forest camping site on working farm (ROBIN SITE), Qualicum Beach, Canada

Our ROBIN SITE (see map in photos) is a lovely large space with a soft and level tenting site, a table and a fire ring. It is a short walk to the washroom and animal paddocks. There is plenty of space to park your vehicle.
We are a 10 acre working farm and host agro-tourism camping. Our woodland is bordered by a creek and looped with trails. It is important that you READ OUR WRITE-UPS to know more about our space.

The space

Please read this entirely:
*Do not book here if you intend to throw parties or disrespect our space.*

The ROBIN SITE is a drive-up space in our woods. It is close to the washroom and animals, is next to the creek (1.5m drop-off, no entry point). The site is mostly dappled shade. There is a place for a tent and it has a picnic table.
We sell firewood. Propane cookstoves/BBQs may be recommended in the event of a campfire ban.
*All children must be SUPERVISED. We have farm equipment, animals and a body of water that all can be dangerous. We only have chickens and ducks in 2024.

Our auxiliary building is a short walk from this site and it has:
-ping pong table
-plugs to charge your devices
-a flush toilet and running water.
-NO SHOWER
-outdoor sink for filling water jugs or washing dishes.
-For your convenience, we allow our campers to charge their phones/small electronics in here but please do not plug in large items like cookers or hair dryers.
This building is an old yellow mobile home -it serves as our barn and farm storage. It is shared by all campers and farm hands. We are on septic. Please only use the toilet paper we supply and flush nothing but the tp and your waste.

We try to create private camping spaces throughout our woods while respecting the wildlife that calls this place home; Deer and hare have many sleeping spaces here.
Our farm is 10 acres, mostly forested, with a salmon spawning creek and we’re across the street from the ocean. Our farm is non-cert organic and we grow a large variety of produce and flowers.
Our farm is home to free range chickens and ducks. Our campsites are part of our agro-tourism program and we offer education on animals, growing, plant identification, composting or permaculture.

NOISE *Farm life starts early* Our animals are up at dawn and they make noise. If you don’t want to hear farm animals this is not the place for you.
Matthew runs a motorcycle shop out of our garage so during the day you may hear motorcycles or a compressor running.

We have two children and they love to meet other kids.
We have a golden retriever who is friends with everyone.
We have farm cats.

Guest access

You are welcome to explore our property. See the map in photos. Our woods are crisscrossed with trails that we maintain and others that the deer maintain. The creek is a protected salmon spawning area so please respect this and do not make new trails to or around it. If you would like to see the creek, we have designated access points closer to the driveway (see map)
The public beach access is across the road and 400m to the north (left out of the driveway)
There is an open wifi available near our house (Blue and white)
