An awesome escape. It is close enough to town that you can take a cheap taxi or if you’re brave, take a 30 minute bike ride. The lake near by is easily accessible and features a rope swing for adrenaline junkies.
We felt safe in the gated farm full of blueberries, apples and little personality pieces at every turn. This is a place you’ll definitely want to book for more than a few nights to explore everything the farm and surrounding area has to offer.
The outhouse is a little smelly but it is elevated camping as advertised, so we didn’t expect much more. Bring your own mirror if you need a clear look at yourself but the hexagonal ones do the trick for basic narcissism. The water from the tap is very minerally, so you may want to opt to use the massive water cooler provided. Super comfy pillows and a huge bed. If you don’t mind a very firm mattress, you will like it.
Leif was a fantastic and prompt communicator as Freyja was away. All members of the farm were friendly and gave you privacy in your dome. Parking was good, heat was fine in the dome due to a cross breeze and black out curtains. Make sure to try the cider provided in your fridge!
Overall, the Phoenix Farm was an amazing home for two nights and gave us an elevated and unique “clamping” experience on Salt spring.
