As you know, I’m all about exploring our beautiful BC backyard, and what better way to do it then camp ! I want to share share my top five favourite camping spots, and hope to inspire some of you to get your hands dirty. From evening marshmallow roasting to morning sun-rise watching, spending time outdoors is a great way to hit refresh on the life of a busy girl like me!
Tofino
If you know me, you know that Tofino is one of my favorite places on earth.Tofino is known for their beautiful campsites right on the ocean. What’s more relaxing than waking up to the sun rising and the sound of waves?! Every morning I leave my tent, yoga mat in hand and join a yoga class on the beach. If that doesn’t sound like heaven, I don’t know what does. Oh and don’t forget your sunscreen, summers in Tofino are hot!

Joffre Lakes Provincial Park
This one is for the photographers, and the great-outdoors-appreciators. The hike to Joffre Lake is under two hours and located just east of Pemberton, BC. On your way up you are constantly reminded of how beautiful our forests are. The lakes are glacier feed making them a gorgeous pale tiffany blue. Once you arrive at the top, the campsites are breathtaking, just as breathtaking as the cold icy lake itself. The hike up is a bit grueling, but I promise you’ll thank me when you get to the top!

Rockwater Resort Secret Cove
Don’t get me wrong, I love to toss my sweats on, and help make a fire… but sometimes it’s nice to arrive to a camp-ready spot. This brings us to my newfound camping obsession, GLAMPING. Yes there is such a thing as glamour camping, and it’s amazing! At Rockwater Resort they have big safari like tents set up on wooden platforms that overlook the ocean. The tents are beautiful, and the scenery is even better! From whimsical decor to luxury sleeping arrangements, this place is a dream!
