A great campsite just on the hill next to the Trans Canada highway. Good facilities electric water and sanitary dispensing. The pitches are hard and it does have grass for tents. Hot showers and laundry. The owners are always busy around the site making it comfortable as possible. Easy website to book on Only drawback is the highway but it does go quiet at night and you do get used to it. A great find and stopover with plenty to do in Golden

We got a 10 site right at the top of the campsite with a tent and we ended up with a gorgeous view people were really close together in the sights and there are not many trees separating you. I would have probably given a three-star if it wasn't for the particular spot I picked. It has good amenities very clean the staff are very nice the only negative is it's near Highway and it's more of a parking lot. But we stayed here for 4 days and we all agreed it deserved for stars

Good staff. Good amenities there. (Washer dryers - bathrooms- showers ) Full hookups and the pull through was perfect for us. Being that close to the hwy up on the top section wasn't the best, unfortunately. Lots of bugs but thats what camping is all about 😉 Thank you

A big run down. Trailer park next to it is very sketchy. Really run down. Felt like we were camped next to an abandoned house. Customer service was great. Staff very friendly.
