welcome. We love company!
Do you know or have you hosted this user?
Hosting is available at our home, in the driveway for smaller rigs. 25ft is about the max we can hold, but if you are longer, give us a shout anyways, we may be able to assist with another great location.
We also have plenty of yard for tent camping.
The picture is of the back yard...your rig will be in a driveway at the front of the house.
Our profile picture is 8 years old....we look 10 years older now.

Karen was so helpful and a great host - we loved our stay in Ladysmith and look forward to staying again!
Parking was easy to access and it was a fairly quiet location.
Thanks Karen!!

Friendly couple
We stayed at Karen and Jim's for 2 nights. Very friendly couple and a nice garden at their house perfect for a beer on a good day.

Great host
We just returned from a three week trip around Vancouver Island and the PNW and had the great pleasure of boon docking at Karen AND JIM. Karen was super responsive and flexible as our plans evolved and changed. We shared a cocktail after she helped us get situated and appreciated the tips (especially the cinnamon buns at the local bakery) for our trip north the next morning. Highly recommend a stop and visit if you are passing through.

A huge thank you to Jim and Karen for making us feel so welcome and comfortable for our two nights in Ladysmith. What a lovely little town and a great area to explore.
We also enjoyed our evening chats with our hosts tremendously.

Fantastic hosts. Shared local secrets and made me feel at home.
Ladysmith is a great little town to visit - you should stop and say hello to Karen and Jim and tour the town. One word. - charming.

Very informative
We did not stayed at jimkaren's place only because of the schedule conflic but they were very up front with a lot of informations about where to stay in their sourondings. Would definatly recommend to send them an hosting request for your next travel on the island.

highly recommend this host
The host were very kind and generous in giving us a tour around town. They shared their knowledge of the area and went above and beyond in helping us. As newcomers to the island, we felt very welcomed by them.

Warm hospitality
We stayed for only 1-night, but long enough to appreciate their generosity and helpful nature. They even gave us access to a squeeky clean new bathroom and welcomed us to use their big gorgeous yard. Really lovely folks. Made us feel very welcome and at home. Highly recommended :)

Wonderful Time
We stayed with Karen and Jim for 3 nights. They went completely out of their way to make us feel at home, we weren't just invited to use a parking space, we were made to feel like family. Their advice on things to see and do in the area was very helpful, it gave us the opportunity to explore places we wouldn't have known about otherwise. They are a fun, welcoming couple and we hope our paths cross again sometime in the future.
