Gardenside Acres Tent and Breakfast Campground

Thanks to Scott and his wife! The campground is very clean and quiet. We ordered breakfast which came from his garden so it was very fresh and good! Scott is a great host and took the time to answer our questions for our roadtrip. Would recommend 100%! Thanks again!

Agree with all comments about hosts. They get 6/5 stars! Breakfast and coffee were great starts to my day. As mentioned by others, this is a backyard and you are close to other campers. Quiet area. Good for quick stay. Bathrooms get 5/5 stars.

My partner and I booked this tent site based on the glowing reviews. We were not disappointed!We weren’t sure about tenting on somebody’s property but if you want to explore Victoria on a budget, book this NOW!Pros: Janet and Scott are your concierge! If you’re confused where to start, just ask. They are the nicest.Flush RV toilet and running sink with mirror ✅Shower tent does the trick ✅Breakfast was AMAZING. Homemade bread, farm fresh eggs. The waffle is amazing with homemade rhubarb compote and whip… deer walking through the yard during breakfast - honestly loved it.Only downside is there is 3 spots closer together then there’s some better spaced out spots. Get the better spot OR Bring ear plugs in case your neighbour snores.Highly recommend this adorable place and we will certainly be back!

We stayed here because it was an easy bike ride to category 12 brewing, sea cider and some other wineries. It rained in the morning but we were able to eat the home made breakfast under cover in the gazebos, which was so peaceful. The breakfast was delicious, ready for the time we asked for the night before and just really cute. The couple that runs the place is lovely. The bathroom facilities were very clean which is often not the case with larger campgrounds. The camping area is not crowded at all, with lots of soft grass to set up tents on. We would definitely stay here again.

This was such a wonderful place to stay, 5 sites in total so it is very quiet and peaceful.The hosts were incredibly friendly, they had fresh coffee and tea out every morning. The breakfast was fantastic, I had the beligian waffles with fresh berry jam.The morning sounds of the campsite were great, with chickens clucking further off in the yard and song birds from the nature park next door. It is away from traffic so you don't get any road noise.They had a 2 room bathroom trailer with flushable toilets, a little shower tent set up with an on-demand water heater and a garden hose, brochures with things to check out in the area, a fresh water tap.I was thoroughly impressed and would absolutely stay here again if I make it back out to the island.

Amazing place to camp, super quiet location on a beautiful acreage, no noises apart from birds, even heard an owl in the night! Owners are very nice and accommodating, and have very delicious breakfast options, the homemade bread and jam are to die for! Will definitely be returning here next time I'm in Vic!

Janet and Scott such lovely hosts, very friendly and accommodating.We had everything we needed while here. Janet gave us some suggested sites to visit and maps. Scott brought breakfast and coffee in the Morning. They work hard to make sure their guests are happy and comfortable. Very lovely visit.

These folks are the nicest people you’ll meet! We had such a great time at their farm/ campground. They put a lot of effort into making it really nice and you can tell they’re really genuine family run business. Between the shower tent with hot water and the bathroom trailer, there was nothing more we could have asked for. Also we highly recommend the breakfast, they make it right there and the eggs come straight from the chickens. They have phone charges and games and it’s just an all around good experience. Thanks Scott & Janet!!

Owners are a really nice and friendly couple. The campground is clean and has only a few camping spots. The campground is very close to Butchard Gardens. The shower works and gets plenty hot, but it's a handheld that you need to hold the trigger to keep running. I'd probably skip the breakfast. Overall, 4.5 stars.

This really was one of the best camping places I've ever been to. It is so quiet and peaceful, just right to relax on the grass next to the chickens. The owners are such nice people and you can order breakfast (we had waffles) that is made fresh with local ingredients.Love this place and would definitely come again!
