Enjoy Vancouver Island’s natural beauty from our cozy camper van. Perfect for a couple looking to spend some time on the sea side, in the woods among the cedars and mountains or by a campfire under the stars. Our van is the longest and tallest Ford Transit in production, so you won’t have to worry about ever crouching down or feeling cramped for space. It very comfortably sleeps two people or one person who likes a little extra room to stretch their legs.The van is equipped with a fridge, full running water, as well as amenities to cook both indoors or out in the fresh air. We have multiple power options with solar panels charging our in house batteries as well as the option to plug the van into shore power at many of the island’s campgrounds. We also have an optional propane based fire pit and fresh tank if you are looking to huddle up under the night sky!We hope to share with you some truly memorable experiences as we have had on this island that we love.Happy Adventuring!What's includedThe van will have fresh sheets, a duvet and plenty of pillows for a comfy sleep. We also have both electric and butane burners/grills as well as a pot and pan for both indoor and outdoor cooking. All basic cooking and eating utensils along with plates, bowls, glasses and mugs are present. And of course we have an electric kettle and French press for all of us who need a little caffeine in the morning or a tea before bed!RecommendationsThe island is rich with a broad spectrum of campsites, beaches and hikes that each offer very different experiences. Whether you want to surf in Tofino, fish at Campbell River, ski at Mount Washington or treat yourself to a spa day in Victoria, there’s really no end to the variety of things to do. If you have any questions about recommendations throughout the island, please just ask and we’ll be happy to share whatever knowledge we have as well as our favourite places to camp!Other things to noteNo smoking

The van was amazing for our trip and Reiner was very accommodating and helpful. The van set up was great and had everything we needed for the week. It was comfortable and very clean and full of extra supplies we were grateful for. Reiner explained everything we needed to know to prepare us for our first experience van camping. He was kind and responsive whenever we had any questions. We really appreciate all the work he put into the van,and everything he added to help us on the way. Very accommodating of our time frame with pick up and return as well! We could not have asked for a better experience of renting a van. Thank you so much for a memorable trip!
