Queen Charlotte’s Wood offered a perfect spot for some gentle, mindful outdoor yoga. The day was a hot one, but underneath the shade of the trees, it was lovely and cool. A beautiful, very well-cared for, peaceful setting, which gives the very real feeling of “getting away from it all” and being at one with nature.

This is truly a fantastic camp site. QCW is in a great location for hikes and nature trails but the site itself also has so much to offer. Individual pitches feel secluded and all offer similar experience. The site is compact so all activities are close by. We utilized the hideaway (sleeps 30) and two camp sites for this adventure as we had a mix of Beavers, cubs, scouts and young leaders. A fantastic time was had by all.

Love camping at QCW – it is a perfect site for my DofE expeds. It has flush loos and hot running water for comfort and the isolation and bare minimum amenities for DofE. Perfect!
We were pitched on 2 adjacent sites so the adults could give theparticipants independence but still be on hand if needed and around to supervise.
