It was also nice to talk to the people who walk their dogs down the trail. If you actually follow that trail over the bridge there is a "workout" area and some more beach front spots to relax at. Compared to other campgrounds we went to this one was very much appreciated. It was quiet, well priced, and beautiful. Be sure to bring everything that you need with you, as the nearest town is Duncan which is about a 18 minute drive. There are some areas nearby to pick up supplies but overall it's pretty hit or miss if you're shopping down the road. (We were alright with that though.)

We had voiced our concerns for our safety to management (Richard) who promptly dismissed it saying he could not control public. Felt so unsafe on this site that we had to sleep in our car in fear of further harassment. i would never recommend this site to anyone I know. do not book.

I had been visiting Xanadu several times off and on in the Spring of 2019. I then had to cancel my…read moresummer reservation and lost my full "booking fee" because I was hospitalized for major depression. Jane had been very friendly and I trusted to tell her why I was hospitalized. We agreed that I would stay in one cabin, Escape for one year commencing in September 2019. I prepaid the rent for September and gave her a damage deposit. I sublet my Vancouver Apartment for one year and relocated. One week after I arrived, Jane forced her way into my cabin, Escape, and cornered me in my bedroom swearing angrily. One day earlier I became aware that she was entering the cabin without my consent and I told her to give me the proper notice. This made her very angry. That night she entered the cabin at about 10 pm angrily and I became so scared that I finally had to run out of the cabin in my bare feet, running out onto the road, and yelling "help" from the neighbour. Jane was twice my size and has a very bad temper. Two days later, she returned in the morning and forced her way in once again. This time she said "Are you too mentally ill to understand that the police are going to throw you out at the end of the month." This time I managed to push her out the patio doors and locked them. She tried to get back in. Then, three days later, she ran into the back of me in her car on one of the roads on the property and asked me if I had found a place yet. It was very hard to find a place in the Cowichan valley with a small dog. I sent Jane an email transfer for $1800 for the month of October and then left terrified in the middle of the month. Jane kept my damage deposit. I was homeless in the Cowichan valley and had to live out of my car until I finally found a place that I had to furnish. This was the worst experiencing of my life and I am still traumatized even though I have finally made it safely back to Vancouver. You can decide for yourself if you want to rent a long or short term vacation rental at Xanadu Estates in the Cowichan Valley. FYI...There are two grow ops on the property.

The scenery was gorgeous and the ladies who worked there were lovely to chat with. And I believe there was no charge for the tasting either! Sweet deal! The wine was good, as well. Buy a bottle and chill out on their patio with some friends on a sunny day. :)
