I've never been treated so bad as a paying customer ever. The caretaker of this place lied to us on…read morethe phone and said she does not reserve spots and it's first come first serve. So we showed up, found a empty site, PAID FOR IT and spent 2 and a half hours setting up camp. Then Jubba the gut shows up on her scooter and tells us we have to leave because she was holding that spot for someone!! She then accused us of removing a tag that said the spot was taken which we did not because there wasn't one. The people across the camp from us told us no one had been there in days. So she kicked paying guests out of a spot for someone who hadn't shown up. She did not apologize or offer any other spot or accommodations, just told us to leave. This women needs a serious lesson in etiquette and customer service. Yes the camp ground is pretty, but this horrible beast of a woman does not deserve your business.

We stayed at Strongwater our very first night in British Colombia after a long day of driving and…read moreferrying from the Vancouver airport. This place has so much charm and character. First, let me say that leading up to our visit, my communications with the owner/operator were pretty lax and informal. I didn't get an official confirmation of my booking other than an informal back and forth inquiry email that later served as my confirmation. This same relaxed feel continued when we arrived. The property has 11 campsites and 7 cabins. We booked a cabin, which was very reasonably priced. When we arrived, we made our way up some stairs to the "office" having to side step at least six or seven chickens that were just hanging out on the stairs. Hilarious. There was a note on the door that said check-in at the Skookumbus (an old painted bus that serves as a little roadside food stand - cute!). There we found Cheyenne and a few friends and family all hanging out around a picnic table. She was very friendly (and as expected extremely casual and informal). We made our way to our cabin encountering all manner of farm animals - chickens, roosters and baby ducklings - cute! Once we saw our little cabin we fell in love! We were in No. 4 (see map), which was one of the most secluded. I will say that none of the sites (both campgrounds and cabins) are particularly secluded and a few of them are pretty much right on top of others. I think the understanding, though, is if you're staying here, you're doing it for the charm, the price-point and the community feel of it all, which Strongwater has in spades. We had a restful night sleep in our adorable little cabin, though the described King Bed was just two twin beds pushed together. There were a few moments of being stuck in the crack, but otherwise we stayed warm and really enjoyed the whole feel of it. Checkout was, once again, extremely informal. We approached Cheyenne the night before we were scheduled to leave (as we were getting up really early the next morning) and found her around a campfire up at the Skookumbus hanging out with family and friends (pretty much right where we left her, haha!). I essentially just handed her the cash for the room, which she then directed at some other responsible person in the circle that I hadn't previously met. We thanked everyone for the great time and that was it. Even though we were there for less than 24 hours, we really enjoyed our stay. Personally, I would have liked a bit more of an organized structure to the payment system and the check-in and check-out process, as well as a little less nonchalance towards their guests, but it didn't bother me too much! I just interpreted it as that laid back B.C. vibe. Definitely put this on your B.C. checklist!

You can get groceries, get a tan, swim, or go to a nearby restaurant for some yummy food. This is SUPER convenient especially if you're unfit to drive and/or wanna enjoy the environment. It's nice to have all this within walking distance. ADDITIONALLY, if you are too shy to swim at the beautiful nearby beach then you could enjoy the campground's pool :) it's kid friendly and convenient to have nearby your campsite. The staff is awesome! Everyone has always been super nice and friendly. They are very lighthearted and make you feel at home. This is exactly the camping environment I'd like to be in (all summer long)! The campsites vary in size, which appeases different type of campers. Whether you're with your family, or taking it easy with just one gal pal, you can book a variety of campsites. You can book a smaller scenic campsite, if you're just staying over for one night. OR, you could book a bigger campsite, if you and your big family wanna stay for 5+ days. I've always camped here for 5+ days, so I've booked the bigger campsites with my family. It's nice having those options :) The campsites are beea-uti-fulll! So scenic, and depending on what site you book you can hear the relaxing melody of the stream. It's super helpful if you struggle to sleep at night, as it distracts you and reminds you of the beauty of nature. Overall, it's a beautiful experience. Cheers!

The Creekside Campground & RV Park offers everything you need for a joyful get-away and camping…read moretrip. You check in at the office, where you can also buy wood for your fireplace. Next to the office is a laundry room for cleaning your clothes. The Campsite even offers a Pool! (Open from 9am - 9pm) The area itself is not too big, but big enough that you will have enough privacy on your reserved spot. There are some RV places with outlets and some more tent-sites where you can park your car, pop up your tent and enjoy yourself and a nice BBQ on your fireplace. When we were there, a ice cream truck came by in the evening which was a really nice thing. The Creek marks one side of the campground, but because of the salmon coming back to reproduce it's not allowed to step in/ wade/ bath/ play in it. But that's okay, I mean the "big water" is not far and you can go swimming in one of the many bays this region has to offer (or the pool ;) ). They have a designated security person for emergencies and patrols at night, so you can feel safe all the time. I really enjoyed how friendly everyone was, that there are so many big trees on site and you have everything you need for a nice stay. This is definitely a place to come back to.

This park consists of two locations close together along the Upper Sunshine Coast highway. The…read morefirst location is the campground actually at Mermaid Coved named after the mermaid statue sunk in the cove for diving. This campground is beautiful with a wonderful rainforest landscape. There is lots of privacy between sites so that you can enjoy your time camping. This site seems to be pretty empty even when it is beautiful outside as well as we had few neighbors over a 4 day span. The caretakers are super friendly and make sure that you are well looked after. As long as you are respectful of your neighbors they are not super pushy with the rules with quite time like some of the Fraser Valley camps that basically have a lights out policy. There is a pretty but rocky beach area here but nothing really all that good for swimming. This park has no power and only pit toilets. The second location in this park is down the road a little ways and is the day use area. This portion of the park is in Saltery Bay proper and has a nice beach for swimming and just enjoying your day at the beach. Like everything on the Sunshine Coast it is really laid back here and everyone is really friendly!

Even though the place was…read morepacked to the rafters, (with more RV's than I have ever seen in my life) it was quiet, peaceful and restful. The campground is very well laid out - there was a lot of space for tenting, and one of my favorite things ever - each tenting spot had a raised square that was leveled off so that the tenter was not sleeping on an incline, or rocks or the like. Also, each tenting site had its own running water! There were also showers and really, the loveliest bathrooms I have ever seen at a campsite. Clean, not smelly, and attached to a gorgeous wooden hall that had *two* built in fireplaces, and ample space for a party, if one were in the mood for that. This campground also has laundry facilities, wood for purchase for burning in the fire pits, (I suppose most campgrounds have that, but anyway, it gets *delivered* to your site!) and wonderfully friendly staff. It is situated on about 60 acres of privately owned land, 20 acres of which are dedicated to camping, in a relatively quiet area near a winery ;) I think we were exceptionally lucky to get a couple of tenting spots there on a long weekend, as it was very full, but mostly of rv's. I suspect it is booked much in advance, so I would recommend making reservations. I would not hesitate to go back to this place.

We had a cabin booked for the following night, but car camped for one evening. When we arrived he gave me a little tour - the washrooms are very nice for campsite bathrooms, and there are even laundry machines, a book borrowing shelf, and indoor showers. The campsite is very well equipped! Quiet hours are at 10, which put a bit of a damper on things as this was a birthday celebration weekend. It was nice to have a firepit at each campsite, although the stream running through the campsite harboured swarms of mosquitoes which didn't encourage me to stay outside... The cabins were lovely. Ours had two separate wings with a shower room in between (not adjoining), a hot tub, and a barbecue. Our friends had the next cabin over, which I believe was just finishing being built, and they had a gorgeous fireplace with recliners in front of it, as well as an indoor and outdoor area to do dishes. The nicest part was that it was a 3 minute walk to 'town' so it was easy to pop over to the corner store and pick up some bits and pieces for dinner. The location alone would probably bring me back but the quiet hours etc. were a bit of a deterrent.
