A quiet, off-grid forest campground near Halfmoon Bay on BC's Sunshine Coast, with big private sites, a creek, small waterfalls and clean outhouses. Bring your own water and carry out garbage.
Homesite Creek Campground sits in old-growth coastal rainforest near Halfmoon Bay, and visitors keep using the words quiet and peaceful. A small, clear creek runs through with a few little waterfalls, and there's a huge old tree near the middle of the campground. The sites are spread over several levels with lots of space between them.
It's simple camping with no hookups. There's no drinking water or garbage service, so bring water and pack out your trash, and toilets are pit outhouses. Campers say the outhouses are plentiful and very clean, though one found them smelly in the rain, and an older review suggests bringing your own toilet paper. The caretakers get warm mentions for being helpful and knowledgeable about the forest, and cedar firewood is available. Prices are described as very reasonable.
It suits tenters and small-trailer campers who want nature over amenities. There are trails to the waterfalls, creeks and karst caves, and there's a mix of reservable and first-come, first-served sites. Dogs are welcome on leash. One visitor was pleasantly surprised to find decent cell reception.
Getting in takes care. The access road is steep in places, with washboard and big potholes, though a small tent trailer and a 20-foot trailer both made it. Some sites are small or sloped, so check the site if you're towing anything medium or large. Not every site has creek access, and the creek and falls are modest rather than dramatic.
