Hidden in the forest of Vancouver's Stanley Park, not far from a walking trail, there’s a campsite. From the outside, it doesn’t look like much — a few green tarps attached to a couple of trees.

You’d be forgiven for missing it, even if you saw it. But this isn’t just any campsite.

This site belongs to a man who’s chosen to call the city's crown jewel home for more than 30 years. His name is Christenson Bailey and he’s Stanley Park’s longest resident.

Global's Alissa Thibault reports.

This is part one of a three part Global News series

He's not a drug addict, he's just a quirky guy who lives in the woods. Dudes a gem and I hope he lives there for as long as he wants.

The best part about this story is that although he's homeless, he's not a drug addict. Let him stay in Stanley Park. He deserves to stay there because he has proven for 30 years that he can live harmoniously with nature, and is no bother to anyone.

I grew up in a small town on the outskirts of Manchester, UK. There was an old guy with one arm who had lived in the local park for years - ever since i could remember. He was one of the happiest guys i had ever met and always said hello to us young kids whenever we'd see him. One day he just vanished and nobody in the town knew where he went. I'm 40yrs old now and think about that old guy all the time.

Now that he has this exposure for the public, I hope he remains safe and happy.

I love how even the police were able to form bonds/relationships with him. And speak highly of him. What a Good Soul.

He's living what some would describe as an "authentic"life. To each their own.

I remember how concerned we all were for him in the 2006 windstorm. Lovely to have his story presented/preserved.

Chris is a true artist, he has really found himself. He has a warm home inside his heart, he's not really homeless; he's sane, strong, smart. Interesting man.

The fact that he the police and government do not seem to hassle him or care that he and others like him use the space responsibly is almost as amazing as the man himself.
