We stayed about a month here. Very family friendly and quiet. Owners are very nice people.

We spent 3 weeks here in our Fifth Wheel on full 50A service. A very convenient location if wanting to hit Glacier NP, Revelstoke NP and Yoho NP. While it has fire pits and picnic tables, most of our time was out exploring. Golden is only 15-20 min down the road with many restaurants, grocery stores, etc. Quite quiet and the owners are very nice people. Definitely not a park if you’re looking for RV community. More a place to sleep while exploring the area.

Very friendly and accomodating staff! Great mointain view! Small playground available, lots of space for kids to play or bike. Coin washer/dryer available, showers $1 for 4 minutes. Noticable amount of mosquitos though.

As a full time RV family, we stayed here for 5 weeks & had a fantastic time. This is family owned and they are beyond sweet! Perfect spot to day trip to all 6 national parks Canada. Pull through sites either 30/50AMP, they had cabins and dry camping spots. We did not use the bathroom facilities but the laundry room was great! The dryer were massive! Playground, volleyball, and community fire pit all available. Would highly recommend!

The sites are grass with trees here and there to provide shade. The views are exceptional. The park is located between Yoho and Glacier National Parks. The nearest supplies and services are in Golden 20 minutes away, but the friendly and helpful owners have some essentials on hand. There are showers, restrooms and laundry available. The facilities are a bit dated, but they are clean. This is a “mom and pop” operation. You can tell they care for the place and do what the can to keep it up.
