A nice little RV park near the Prince Rupert ferry terminal. Best showers of any RV park I've ever stayed in. Note that it is quite hilly, and it can be difficult to navigate if you're arriving after dark and rain! We sent a scout ahead on foot to find our site. Totally doable with a small camper van, would have been more challenging in a bigger rig.

Great experience with this campground! Everything is immaculate and clean, showers and bathrooms were the nicest I've seen for a campground. Handy ammenities like freezers for your catch and washer / dryer for laundry. The camp owner is lovely and everyone is very friendly.

Clean , affordable and nice cabin rentals. We rented one of their bare bones cabins for two nights (~$50/night) and they were perfect for us. Cabin comes with power and and heat, and free showers and washrooms are a short walk away. Cabin has a fire pit and picnic table. We setup our two Coleman cots and they fit with plenty of room to get dressed and sit. Cabin has two windows with blinds and a light inside. Cabins are also dog friendly. We will definitely return and stay here if we're back in town. Hosts we're also super nice.

Stayed in the cabin it was not bad had heat could use some insulation not for temperature but sounds the busy road was right behind it and gravel road in front so hard to sleep. Definitely needs an outhouse so you don’t have to go inside and put a code in every time. Has to wait for the Only toilet lots of times. Was very clean and welcoming

My partner and I are in Prince Rupert for work and for the last few months we’ve been lucky enough to stay in one of the Kinnikinnick cabins. It’s truly been the highlight of our time here. It’s a very quick commute to Prince Rupert and well worth it to be some where clean, quiet and safe. The cabins are amazing and have everything you could need. The campsite itself is beautiful and well maintained, everything down to the lamp posts and fire pits are beautiful. Debbie and Cassandra and both professional, responsive and extremely kind. They’ve been very accommodating to us. I highly recommend Kinnikinnick, you won’t be disappointed! We hope to be back in the fall for the winter months!
