About Camp Jubilee

Camp Jubilee is located ~60 km northwest of Victoria on 114 acres of primarily forested land, near the community of Shirley, BC.    There are 3 tenting sites and no power available.  The tenting sites have open fields and are surrounded by a beautiful west coast forest.  A salmon bearing stream runs through the property.

 

SITES

Three tenting sites offer a variety of camping experiences depending on the size and experience of the group.

​

Kirby

Kirby Site holds up to 40 overnight campers (includes youth & staff) and is somewhat wheelchair accessible. It contains a combination cooking/dining shelter with a woodburning stove and a permanent LDU as well as 4 platform (Vytex) tents which hold 6 campers each. There are 4 outhouses on site and a campfire pit ring.

 

Bridges

Bridges Site holds up to 40 overnight campers (includes youth & staff). It contains two new cooking/dining shelters and a permanent LDU. There are 4 outhouses on site and a campfire ring. There are 4 patrol boxes, dish pans, pots, carts and more equipment in the Bridges panabode shelter.

 

Gateway

The potable water is stored in a huge tank in the parking lot.  It is to be used for all domestic use (cooking, tooth brushing, drinking, washing hands & face).  It does not need to be treated before use.  Hand water pumps provide well water for fire buckets and can be boiled for some uses.

The camp does not have a phone, but cell phone coverage is expected in the area later in 2022. Cell phone coverage and Shaw Public WiFi coverage are available near the Shirley community hall and park.
