You found us! Congratulations, you are in on one of Hornby Island’s best kept camping secrets.

We have added a third campsite this year and changed our fee structure:

You can view and book both of our sites below. keep scrolling for the booking calendar for each site. The system can be quite slow, please wait a few seconds after clicking the SEND button

Date restrictions
We prefer longer bookings, but also want to make sure that people have the opportunity to camp with us. For the first several months the system will be set to accept minimum stays of Three nights, (book 4 days) and maximum stays of ten nights (book 11 days). Once the calendar is mostly filled, we will remove the minimum restriction to allow folks to fill in the gaps between longer stays.

Strachan Valley is now a working farm. All dogs must be under control at all times.

Please do not share this website. Forward the booking info email if you would like to pass on information about our campsites to a friend.

Base Rate Fees

The Field Site is now considered a group site and the minimum base charge is $50 per night

The new campsite is called the Middle Ridge Site and because for this first year it will be a bit rough, the base price for booking will $25 per night

The Ridge Site is now called the South Ridge Site and the base charge is $35 per night

A 50% deposit will hold your site. The deposit is calculated based on the base rate for that site. Check-out time for both sites is 12:00 pm and Check-in time is 2:00 pm

How Do We Charge for Extra Campers?

For the two Ridge Sites, 2 adults plus up to 4 kids, or 3 adults, are covered by the base rate. The charge for each adult above that is $7.50 per night.

For the Field Site, 4 adults plus up to 6 kids, or 5 adults, are covered by the base rate. The charge for each adult above that is $7.50 per night.

We consider anyone 16 years and older to be an adult.

If you are coming with a whole pile of kids please contact me for a rate.

You can mix-and-match different amounts of people over different days, so if you had the base group + 2 adults on one night, that would be the base rate + $15 for that night. But if you have two more join you on the 2nd night (base group + 4), that would be the base rate + $30 for that night.

Please email camping@electrom.ca) to let us know how many you will be.

We require a 50% per night booked deposit to hold your spot.
