    Wonderful place to stay. Lots of trails to walk around. Staff are excellent. Pets are allowed. It's a very safe and pleasant location to spend the winter or summer.

    I thought I would just spend the night there and continue my trip the next morning. I ended up staying another night, because I really enjoyed it. The first night I had a campsite down by the river. Wow what a view when the sun goes down. The second night, I was a bit higher. I took a walk with my dog at night, and there was a great atmosphere. I think it was special because you could see everyone around their fire looking at the water and the sunset. Everyone was quietly enjoying the beauty of nature at the same time. Each road is like at a different height so the view is always great. Except if you pick a ''forest'' campsite, you don't have the same view obviously you see trees.
    Employees were nice at the office. I used the laundry room and it was clean. There's also many facilities that you can use like a TV room and a game room. I think the price I paid was reasonable.

    Really enjoyable facility. A blend of the nature sites you'd find in a provincial park, but with all the comforts of full RV services. Water access isn't fantastic for swimming, but it's near enough to other great options for that.

    This is a truly special place. It has variants for just about every style of camping, the facilities are clean and well maintained and the amenities cover all the essentials; even down to propane fire bowl and tank rentals during the dry summer months when fire bans are everywhere. This was my first visit and definitely will not be my last. Give yourself a treat and check this place out.

    There is very little privacy compared to what I'm used to in the mountains of Alberta, tent sites are right next to each other. There are 12 bathroom stalls for over 200 campsites, which is pretty decent, but the stalls have the toilets on either side of a thin wall, back to back, with massive openings on the side of all the outhouses, maybe 7 feet off the ground with only a screen to cover the opening, so again, not very private. If someone wanted to see in all they would have to do was jump up or stand on something. Basically my complaint is that there isn't much privacy, otherwise the campsite is in a great location and the staff were very friendly and helpful. They have wifi, which is nice, but only in certain areas.

    Super campground super service, can't be faulted. Most pitches seemed to be separated by trees and bushes which gave a secluded feel but some areas were a little more densely packed. Highlight was canoeing with my son. The site had a good selection of Canadian tin canoes and plastic kayaks and we opted for the former. At $25CAD for four hours it was fantastic value for money but the best bit was being able to explore the river, the sandbanks, dead trees, basins and see a blue heron feeding close up. A real highlight of our week on Vancouver Island. Book early!

    We just spent the winter at Living Forest Campground and it was a pleasant experience from booking over the phone to arriving and greeted from Shirley and the rest of the office staff.
    Like to thank one of the owners Scott for treating us snowbirds (and I mean SNOWbirds this winter) to a great variety of nature walks. To all the staff that keep the place clean and drivable in a unusual difficult winter.
    And now for "Security BOB"IF 1)personally delivering a package I was waiting for to my door. 2) checking with me to see if I needed propane (which he does for every one from pick up to delivery) 3)bringing me a ladder to my site etc when needed etc etc makes him grumpy and hard to get along with! Then you would have to be a camper that everyone else dreads being parked beside!!!!! Good job with the riff raff Bob.
    Thanks for the nice stay everyone. Bob and Johanna

    Large campground. Nice people. We stayed when the faeries were shutdown for the "storm of the center"' that turned out to be only rain. It was a nice stay. Seen many bald eagles out in the rain.

    Amazed, Happy and Enjoying every day. I've had my "Shack" from Fox Creek Alberta to Buckinghorse BC Mile 209 😋 And this is the Most Amazing RV Park I have ever stayed at in the last 3 years. The trails around the park are breath taking. Great off lease areas. Just taste the water!! Great water pressure 🙄 Staff are Amazing! It's a must stay!!!

    Excellent stay! We stayed in late September, I had booked ahead, however when we arrived there was another site available suitable for our 20' RV and the staff suggested we drive round the site and chose the one we preferred. The result was we were in a delightful spot just above the river, looking out to the estuary. We wanted a day off from driving and the girls in reception were great, gave me the bus timetable, told me where to get the bus etc.
    The facilities were very good, and, three weeks into an RV trip, I can compare!!!! Excellent laundry, not overpriced, good toilet block and the park is well laid out. The park was almost full the first night, but there as no noise disturbance.
    Thank you Living Forest, we will certainly recommend!
