Base Camp Adventure Rentals

Nothing beats hearing that a trip was just as good as we hoped.

A big thank you to everyone who takes the time to leave us a Google review. Every adventure, kind word, and recommendation helps more people feel confident hitting the road with Base Camp.

Here’s to many more kilometres and good stories ahead. 🚐🌲

September camping hits a little differently. 🌲

The mornings are cooler, the sun sets a little earlier, and the summer crowds start to disappear. Pack an extra layer, plan to settle into camp before dark, and enjoy having a little more room to explore.

Summer might be winding down, but camping season definitely isn't.

Same Island. Two very different adventure buddies. 🚐🌲

Whether you're Team North or Team Cocoa Puff, both are packed and ready for wherever September takes you.

Pick your Westy, choose a route, and go make the most of one of our favourite months on the Island.

Not every road trip needs the same amount of time. 🚐

Got a quick 2 to 3 nights? Keep it local around Cowichan Lake. Have 4 to 6? The Spirit Loop is calling. If you've got 6+ nights to play with, head west for Tofino, Ucluelet, and everything in between.

However many days you've got, there's an Island adventure that fits. 🌲🌊

September might be one of the best months to camp on Vancouver Island. 🌲

The summer rush starts to settle, campgrounds get a little quieter, the roads are calmer, and the days are still warm enough to make the most of them. Add in cooler evenings around the campfire, and we're definitely not ready to call camping season over yet.

September adventures are waiting. 🚐

September camping on Vancouver Island is a little bit of everything. ☀️🌧️🌲

Warm afternoons can quickly turn into cool evenings, so layers are your best friend. Pack a light rain jacket, a cozy sweater, comfortable pants, good shoes, and don't retire the shorts just yet.

September likes to keep you guessing, but that's half the fun. Pack for a little sun, a little rain, and a really good adventure. 🚐

If you could wake up tomorrow, where would it be?

🌊 By the ocean, falling asleep to the sound of the waves?
🌲 Tucked away in the forest, surrounded by towering trees?
🏔️ Looking out at mountain views with your morning coffee?

No wrong answers... only your next adventure.

Thinking about a camper van trip but not sure where to start?

We get it. If you've never rented a Westy before, it can feel like there are a lot of unknowns. That's why we've made the whole experience as simple as possible.

We'll show you how everything works before you leave, from driving the van to using the stove. Your camping and kitchen essentials are already packed, you can leave your vehicle with us while you're away, and if you're arriving by ferry, we'll even help you get to the van.

By the time you turn the key, you'll feel ready to hit the road.

All that's left to do is choose your route and enjoy the adventure. 🚐🌲
