About this campground/ rv resort rental

Step back in time without sacrificing comfort in our beautifully restored 1965 vintage Airstream, nestled on 2.5 acres of landscaped paradise along the pristine Cowichan River. Surrounded by towering trees and tranquil nature, this unique getaway is perfect for those seeking relaxation, adventure, or a bit of both.

Enjoy world-class fishing, scenic hiking and biking, and daily visits from local wildlife, all just steps from your door. Spend your days tubing down the river, exploring nearby Lake Cowichan, or discovering the region’s renowned wineries and the scenic Trans Canada Trail.

The Airstream blends nostalgic charm with modern comfort, and the experience continues outdoors with a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, perfect for grilling, gathering, and dining under the open sky. Refresh after a day of adventure in the private outdoor shower, surrounded by nature and birdsong.

Whether you’re sipping wine by the firepit or unwinding on the riverside deck with stunning views and the sound of the flowing water, this is where memories are made.

Your riverside escape awaits.

The airstream is located in an amazing spot by the river and it was a perfect setting to spend a night while travelling the island.

10.0 / 10.0

This accommodation is not only utterly wonderful and unique, but it offers so much nature and space to enjoy on the property. We definitely would want to return to enjoy swimming in the river and chilling on the deck! The BBQ and gas firepit are great addition to the glamping experience!

My 8 year daughter and I stayed for 3 nights, our second summer at the Airstream.Very comfortable beds, everything you could need for cooking and dining.Beautiful swimming spot, lots of fun creatures to observe (frogs, snakes, ducks, otters).Lots of privacy and space to read and lay lawn games Also Rob and Sandy are so kind and cheerful!

10.0 / 10.0

We couldn’t ask for a better stay at Rob and Sandy’s property. It was a tranquil river oasis the weather was beautiful. The setting was incredible. The amenities were fantastic. Best outdoor shower comfiest Bed and just a 10 out of 10 stay

Rob is a super nice host. everything is so clean and tidy. And the view is exactly as the same as the pictures

6.0 / 10.0

The lakeside location was absolutely beautiful peaceful, scenic, and perfect for unwinding. The Airstream had charm, the space was too compact for someone tall (6' 1"). It was uncomfortable for moving around or sleeping. My main concern was the inability to lock the door when we were away. The host didn’t provide a key, so we couldn’t secure our belongings when leaving the property, which was unsettling. It’s a great spot for a nature getaway, but having a way to lock up your things would make a big difference in peace of mind.

10.0 / 10.0

10.0 / 10.0

Rob and Sandy were great hosts. The Airstream was well equipped. Bed was queen size and comfy. The outside kitchen with BBQ was great. The rental was very private and quiet, located on the shores of the river. Our only challenge was poor cell phone service. We would come again. A lovely holiday. Thank you Rob and Sandy.

10.0 / 10.0

Beautiful property on the banks of the Cowichan river with lovely flowers in bloom and easy access for a chilly dip in the river! The air stream was very comfortable and warm, everything that I needed for a short getaway.

10.0 / 10.0

Beautiful property, Rob showed us around and told us about the history while we walked by the river and through the yards, the camper itself was cozy yet quite functional and we were only there for the night but would definitely return!

8.0 / 10.0

Great place for a peaceful retreat. Right on the Cowichan River. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming. Also very dog friendly!

Cute & cozy Airstream in a beautiful river setting, just what we needed! The bed was super comfy and warm.

10.0 / 10.0

It was so very peaceful, the sound of the river the wildlife was beautiful. The Hosts are extremely courteous and and accepting of our reactive dog. Its a beautiful place lots to do around the area. We will definitely be back.

10.0 / 10.0

Hosts were welcoming and friendly! When we saw them, they felt familiar and were lovely to chat to. The stay was a beautiful recharge in a stunning setting. We swam as much as we possibly could and now have a new motto that essentially boils down to the fact that we won’t buy property if it’s not on a river. The bed was comfy, pillows were perfect (I have some in my online shopping cart now) and the space was clean. They have a beautiful pup and possibly an orange kitty - both of whom I fell in love with instantly. Lovely setting, lovely hosts, perfect vacation!

10.0 / 10.0

Property is quiet, comfortable, and well-maintained. Enjoyed the sounds of the river, the deck and swimming hole, and relaxing by the fire (propane) in the evenings. Great location for accessing the river in different spots, the lake, and Duncan. Very comfortable bed and pillows, wish I always slept that well. Highly recommend. Hope to be back.

Such a beautiful property and surreal setting. Definitely recommend and our family will booking again. Thank you for being such great hosts. My daughter still talks about the cake.

10.0 / 10.0

Rick and Sandy were amazing hosts, Sandy made us scones from freshly picked berries as well as crumble, such a sweet gesture. It felt very private even though we were on the same property. They had all kinds of fun stuff to do and lots of floaties for the river. We had our very own swimming area. We spent a week here and 5 of those days was on the water. Perfect location and very quiet. We loved our stay.

10.0 / 10.0

Exceeded our expectations in every way ! The hosts were so friendly and hospitable and we were thrilled with how beautiful the river and the property was. The airstream was lovely and cozy and well equipped. The outdoor food prep area, BBQ and table and chairs was such a treat after camping! Thanks for a wonderful stay!

10.0 / 10.0

We had a wonderful time at this property. The hosts were super nice (including Hazel the dog), the trailer was clean and well-equipped, and the grounds are gorgeous. The trailer is located near some beautiful hikes. The hosts provided some little boats to float around in the river. We had a fantastic time.

10.0 / 10.0

We really enjoyed our stay in the Airstream which is in amazing shape for its age. Very comfortable, great little shower and all the amenities we needed to enjoy a week away. The property is situated right on the river, deep in the lush forest.we will definitely be going back!

10.0 / 10.0

Rob and Sandy were the nicest hosts we could ask for - they were super accommodating, and extremely patient with us as we learned our lessons with not making a ferry reservation! We loved staying here and enjoying the river, especially along side their sweet pup Hazel who we’ll miss so much! Will definitely be back in the future.

10.0 / 10.0

We enjoyed staying on the property and in the vintage airstream trailer. We spent our time checking out the local towns and tubing on the river. Thank You!

10.0 / 10.0

Rob is a very responsive host. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, swimming relaxing playing backgammon (which was in the airstream). The bed was very comfortable, airstream very well equipped. We had all the privacy we needed and was asked if Hazel, the resident puppy could visit. Hazel is very well behaved. This location is beautiful.

10.0 / 10.0

Thank you Rob and Sandy! My family (2 adults and 8y/o) along with our dog stayed at the airstream for 2 nights. Incredible gardens, total privacy, the river is steps away with a great spot for swimming. Our dog was so happy, lots of space to run and explore. Hazel the property dog was a delight and so friendly. Very comfortable beds for both us and the kid. I can’t say enough good things. The hosts are so kind, we can’t wait to some back.

10.0 / 10.0

Beautiful property by the river. Phones and wifi don’t work to well so it is the perfect place to get a break from your stresses. Wonderful hosts.

6.0 / 10.0

Robert and Sandy were very gracious hosts and their property is lovely and well kept. However, the listing didn't note that the trailer is from 1965! It was fine but a bit rickety (had to jerry-rig freezer door to keep close, tape used to repair screen, some windows don't open anymore, propane not on in trailer so had to cook out in the rain). As mentioned, the property was lovely but no access to the river where I didn't feel I was intruding on the host's space and you can't see the lovely river from the trailer area.

10.0 / 10.0

Rob and Sandy were lovely and we enjoyed the airstream. Stunning area! Be prepared for no cell phone service and detach for a bit! ❤️

8.0 / 10.0

This cozy trailer is on the owners property adjacent to the river. Many forest walks await with the provincial park nearby. If you are looking for a quiet location to recharge your batteries this is it. The bed was super comfy, bbq worked well and propane heater in the trailer worked well. Only thing lacking is wifi if you need it. Unplug and enjoy. You won’t regret it!

10.0 / 10.0

thanks to the owners who provided a great experience. The private garden that comes with the rental was magnificent my dog loved it. It was very safe to let him wander on his own. Highly recommended for those that love "glamping" the outdoor experience with all the luxuries! Coquitlam river is a must for any hiking enthusiast.

10.0 / 10.0

We loved our short stay at the property. Beautiful grounds and the river is crystal clear. We loved all of the storage space in the Airstream, the coffee nook and all of its amenities. You literally just need to being your clothes and food. If I lived closer I would make this a frequent getaway spot. The hosts are lovely.

10.0 / 10.0

The property was quite magical! Everything written on the listing was included. We brought way to much stuff. Really food and clothes is all you needed. The only thing that would have been nice is a plug in coffee pot to keep the coffee hot rather than drip. The bed was quite comfortable Our favorite thing to do was sit in the river on the hot days. Beautiful property! Thank you Rob and Sandy for sharing your magical property with us! Great hosts!!

10.0 / 10.0

A fantastic spot with great hosts right on the River. Close enough to drive anywhere you need. Lots of great hiking in the area. Be sure to tube the river both on site and a short trip away in Lake Cowichan. A super spot!

10.0 / 10.0

Peaceful place to stay. Located on the river. It was nice to have a swim and float around in the kayak.

10.0 / 10.0

The airstream and hosts Sandy and Rob are very special! The property and surrounding hikes on the Cowichan River were the highlight of or trip to Vancouver Island. Our only regret is that we didn’t stay longer! Next time!!
