Mary Laird has owned Toad Rock since 1974. She built the log home with her former husband, but most of the 34 acres of forested land was left untouched for the bulk of that time. Many changes to the Toad Rock landscape have taken place since then, significantly during a 10-year partnership with Steven Ramsbottom.
Every bit of Toad Rock is inspired by Mary's personal experience. With a passion for riding and camping, and friends and family camping out at Toad Rock from spring to fall, the development of a motorcycle campground was a natural.
It was planned to develop over the coming years, but the plan was moved along in 2003 with a rally for BCCOM and AIM. The event was a great success and Toad Rock stayed open for the rest of the season.
Then came the "social pavilion" which is supported by living trees, and with it's pool table, kitchen area, and sound system; it is the gathering place for the campers.
The washhouse was completed in 2004. It is set back near the campsites, and provides hot showers, flush toilets, and laundry facilities.
It is Mary's personal goal to bring people together and dismiss preconceived notions of stereotypes - starting with the basics of non-gender specific bathrooms!
None of this could have been accomplished without the help of MANY friends. You know who you are - and you know how much your support has been appreciated!
The operation of the campground is based on the honour system. You are trusted and respected - because Toad Rock has the world's best campers!
