Cumberland was once home to one of the biggest coal mining operations in BC.

‘Camp Road’ was originally built in the late 1800's as temporary housing for European coal miners.

Today a thriving community of artists, athletes and eccentrics, each house on the street has developed a unique flavour and character.

Located at the foot of our beloved Community Forest - a gateway to an extensive network of trails - you can walk, bike or drive to the beautiful vistas of Comox Lake.

Winter activities (as well as year-round mountain biking and hiking) are only 20-30 minutes away at Forbidden Plateau or Mt. Washington.

Cumberland MTB Retreat @ the Camphouse
The Camphouse is a beautiful home, and easily one of the most comfortable places I've stayed. Paulina was a breeze to communicate with, and the home had everything we needed for a great get away. Would definitely recommend.

Great property for a family reunion. The space was perfect for our needs and we enjoyed the space and the small town of Cumberland. Local woodland lakes, bars and restaurants all very good. Thanks for our stay.
