Super uncomfortable nights; super Noisy because the train
Beautiful cabins with a wonderful view and nice (rocky) beach access. But I'd never stay there again due to the late night trains that rumble by about 30 feet from the cabin. Was woken up at ~ 3 am and again at ~ 6 am. Felt exhausted and drained the next day.
Amazing place,, we love it

We stayed in one of the cabins for a few nights and you should book it right away. There are only two cabins; both are quite new, are fully equipped, the veranda with BBQ has an amazing view over the beach and cove. A great place to relax and enjoy the beauty of the bay. It is just 15 minutes from Horseshoe Bay and its ferries to Nanaimo.
Worth every dollar!!! We will be rebooking our next trip.
Positives: the views are absolutely amazing, your only steps away from the ocean. It's quiet and secluded even though the close proximity to the highway and train tracks.
Negatives: Ladder to the loft bed can be tricky and for able-bodied people only. No fire pit, needed to rent a expensive propane fire ring at the cabins which lacks the true fire luster.
This review is for the cabin.
We had a reservation for 4 adults and 2 kids for 2 nights. Pre-payment was required so we paid using credit card. First night, we were asked to keep quiet because there were complaints from the campers. We thought it was ridiculous. We were there to relax and have a good time. We have 2 little kids. We were family occupants. As far as I was concern, it was the staff themselves that were complaining because the cabins are located right by the gate of the campgrounds. There was no way the campers were complaining because there was a party going on in the campgrounds. I tried to complain the party for being too loud also since they were complaining us being loud. The staff said they notified them noise already. Right!!! Whatever!
Next morning, we were asked to leave the cabin and they were literally kicking us out. So we had no choice but to leave which was really frustrating. I asked about the refund for 1 day. They said they would give us our money back for that day. We just had to call the office and they would know what to do. Guess what!?! After calling them for 2 weeks, finally we got a response. And to make things worse, they will not issue us a refund because they said it was our fault that we got kicked out and there was no way they would give our money back. We tried to call them back but never got a response ever. It was not a great experience. My family and I will never ever go back to this place. I told my relatives. I even told most of my friends. And I will tell all the rest of my friends, and all the people I will meet about my experience with this place. If I could give this place (negative) -5 stars, I would have done it so.
If you like funeral or cemetery, then this is the place for you.
