Round is the New Square: How Canadian Sleeping Barrels Can Level Up Campgrounds and RV Parks

In the heart of Canada’s picturesque landscapes, a new trend is emerging that promises to redefine the camping experience for enthusiasts and campground owners alike. The Canadian Sleeping Barrels, hand-crafted on Vancouver Island, are not just accommodations; they’re an experience, a cozy cocoon that melds seamlessly with nature.

For years, campers have sought to be one with nature, often at the expense of comfort. Soggy bed rolls and the unpredictable elements have long been a part of the camping narrative. But what if there was a way to enjoy the great outdoors without compromising on comfort? Enter the Canadian Sleeping Barrels, a game-changer in the world of outdoor accommodations.

Designed with the modern camper in mind, these portable units are crafted using BC western red cedar, known for its durability and longevity. But it’s not just about the material; it’s about the craftsmanship. Each barrel is a testament to the dedication and skill of its creators, ensuring that it stands the test of time and elements.

One might wonder, what makes these barrels so special? Beyond their robust exterior, they offer a plethora of customization options. 

From porthole windows that allow a glimpse of the starry skies to mini-wood stoves that promise warmth on chilly nights, every barrel can be tailored to the camper’s desires. 

Each of the unique sleeping barrels is crafted with elegance and functionality in mind. The barrels boast a large curved bubble window that offers a panoramic view of the surroundings.

Inside, you’ll find a spacious king-sized bed, which can be substituted with bunk beds if preferred, complemented by ample storage space. 

The 2-inch thick solid cedar flooring adds to the barrel’s robustness. For added security, each barrel comes with a lockable keyless entry door. 

Convenience is key, with a pull-out table and side seating, which can be upgraded to include additional storage underneath. The exterior is just as impressive, featuring a cozy front porch that comfortably seats two. 

To ensure durability against the elements, each barrel is draped with a waterproof marine canvas cover, available in a color of your choice. For those looking for a personal touch, we offer customization options for each barrel. Alternatively, customers can opt to purchase an empty barrel, allowing them to customize it to their own specifications.

But the innovation doesn’t stop there. The company, under the visionary leadership of Dave Byers, has expanded its offerings to include cedar barrel saunas, hot tubs, and yurts perfect for campgrounds, glampgrounds, and RV parks. Each product, like the sleeping barrels, is designed to enhance the outdoor experience, making it memorable and comfortable.

For campground and RV park owners, this is a golden opportunity. Incorporating these barrels into their properties can not only elevate the camping experience for their guests but also set them apart in an increasingly competitive market. 

Imagine a campground where guests can retreat to their cedar sanctuaries after a day of hiking, or an RV park where traditional tents are replaced by these unique barrels.

Dave Byers, the mastermind behind these innovations, is no stranger to challenges. Having faced adversities in the past, including the collapse of his woodworking shop, he relocated to Parksville with a dream. A dream to elevate the camping industry. And with his Canadian Sleeping Barrels, he’s doing just that.

His philosophy is simple, “round is the new square.” This ethos is evident in every product his company creates, from the round cedar hot tubs to the custom furniture. And the industry has taken notice.

As the camping industry evolves, so do the needs and expectations of campers. The Canadian Sleeping Barrels, with their blend of comfort and nature, are perfectly poised to meet these demands. For campground and RV park owners, this is the future. A future where camping is not just about being outdoors, but about experiencing the outdoors in style and comfort.
