Nature is your panoramic view! You may find that your perfect holiday is here within walking distance from your safari tent. Your private path to the nature trail takes you to an undisturbed beach, eagles and herons at the shoreline, seals bobbing, anglers fishing salt and fresh waters, the Oyster River and estuary, distillery farm fields, forest with old-growth, a variety of bird species, deer and field rabbits grazing (and even Humpback and Orcas have been sited close from beach this year). The area is like no other...Many nature lovers enjoy it here for the diversity of wildlife from the ocean, coast, forest edge and marshland all within walking distance. You're in the thick of it! And still only a short drive into Campbell River.
There is no compromise. The Glamping Beachcomber is close enough to everything you’re coming here for, yet miles away from anything familiar. A 15min drive to the city for more hiking and biking trails, wildlife tours, Quadra Island ferry, museum, restaurants, shopping, many activities, and swimming spots. Many of our visitors come to visit Strathcona Park, the oldest provincial park in BC. Having the choice to dine at the waterfront restaurant a few min walk down the beach, or al fresco on your own outdoor kitchen supplied with all the tools, makes for a unique vacation experience. This is a unique combination of rustic bliss and home comforts
Your large Safari Tent sits on a 900 sq’ wrap around fenced deck and is extensively furnished inside and out. In addition to the comfortable queen bed, 2 mattress & cots are available to put inside the tent at bedtime, or to use under a 10’x10’ canopy with detachable wall, or under the stars! From the deck you’ll catch the sun rising just after it hits the horizon, and enjoy watching it set over the trees in our field. The glamping site is in a safe place, with a private home nearby, but barely visible from your deck through some trees.
5min - Assemblance of civilization isn't far! tastings and tours at the distillery, or the essentials for groceries, liquor store, specialty coffees and medical clinic, are just beyond the nature trail, or a quick drive from your glamping site. Salmon Point boat launch is at the marina across the road.
10min - Sandy Saratoga Beach on the other side of the River, Mini-golf, 9-hole golf, Miracle Beach Provincial Park, Saratoga Speedway, bottom of Mt Washington
20min - North to Campbell River or. South 20 min to Courtenay.
The Glamping Beachcomber is adjacent to the Salish Sea, and welcomes you to its driftwood covered shores for a campfire, swim, flyfishing, beachcombing or merely a spot to relax and think about the day.
