Sober camping at the old Seven Springs Farm in Nanoose!

Our Seven Springs Farm in Nanoose is excited to begin offering sober camping opportunities for groups looking to spend quality time in the great outdoors in a safe, welcoming environment away from substance use. We recently welcomed our first group for a weekend, and they had an absolute blast! Our property offers washroom facilities, bunkhouses, and a sheltered gazebo with picnic tables—you simply bring your sleeping supplies and camp kitchen. We’re also located close to the beautiful Englishman River and Rathtrevor. More details coming soon!!!
