Golden Ears Glamping is a forested riverside getaway that has has two types of stays (with only one of each) :
The Riverside self-contained Glamping Tent with outside soaker tub and the Cabin-like self contained suite with private entrance and hot tub .
Less than an hour from Vancouver and 1/2 hour from Surrey and just over an hour from YVR.
If you want to escape people, this is the place. If you want to experience nature in a safe setting, this is the place.
There is no where like this. We are in the middle of the forest, along an ever flowing river, full of life. You won't believe you are only minutes from town. Our motto is RELAX, REJUVENATE AND ROMANCE, this is what we strive to give you when you are a guest at Golden Ears Glamping. Fish, swim, hike, birdwatch, meditate, yoga at the river, float, etc, etc.
1. The Rivers Edge: a riverfront (Alouette River South) Glamping Tent that is elevated in the large cedars overlooking the river.
Personal kitchenette, full bathroom and outdoor shower.
Personal soaker tub for two under the trees.
We have one Glamping tent and is completely private and is away hidden from the main house but close enough for anything you request. We believe this is the ultimate in glamping experiences and you won't break the bank.
2. The Bear Suite: attached to the main house that has complete privacy. Private entrance, private hot tub for two, and deck with personal BBQ. and personal lounge area overlooking the natural pond and river..
Walls are double and ceiling is soundproofed.

Such a wonderful spot! Had everything we needed and great details. We spent our time swimming and chilling listening to the sound of the river. Hosts were lovely, available and close by. The space was peaceful and private. It felt like we were far from the city but took no time to get there. We would highly recommend and will be back. So lovely!

We absolutely loved staying at Greg & Shelly’s! As we entered their very private driveway, It felt like we were going into a movie. There were cute little white figures hiding on the trees all the way to there house. And the tent was beautifully set up. Bed was comfortable. Kitchen was tiny but had everything we needed. Outside shower was very romantic. It was great taking a warm shower in the forest. Private access to river was amazing bonus. Shelly and Greg were really really nice. We will definitely be back!

Absolutely amazing experience!
We recently stayed at this Hipcamp and it was beyond our expectations. The photos they shared were already beautiful, but the actual experience was even more stunning in real life! The peaceful sound of the water, the natural beauty all around, and the calming atmosphere made it truly unforgettable. Everything was clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully arranged. We felt very, very good and completely relaxed. Thank you for creating such a magical place. We would love to come back again! 🌿✨

Weekend Trip to Escape to Golden Ears Glamping
An absolute dream little getaway! Such an incredibly beautiful spot, and only an hour out of vancouver. Cosy tent with all the facilities you need, and not even the pouring rain could dampen our experience. Greg and Shelley were super friendly and helpful. Absolutely will be recommending to our friends and hopefully stay here again ourselves in the future :)

We needed a few days away from the city for some fresh air and natural beauty, and we definitely got it! The bath under a canopy of trees was magical, and the white noise of the rushing river knocked us out every night. Highly recommend!

The best camping near Abbotsford with horseback riding guide
Where to go
Cultus Lake
East along backroads (on the Trans-Canada or Highway 1 south of Chilliwack) is Cultus Lake, long beloved by locals for its placid waters (as a warm alternative to the chillier ocean and alpine lakes) and status as an easy camping getaway just 100 kilometres from Vancouver. Swim, canoe, golf, bike, and explore Cultus Lake Provincial Park into Columbia Valley, where some of the first families in the area settled in the 1890s, or go east into the subalpine playground of Chilliwack Lake Provincial Park.
West Coast
Skip the Trans-Canada (Highway 1) thoroughfare and take the old Fraser Highway west into Langley, the easternmost municipality of Greater Vancouver. From here, continue west on secondary roads to the seaside community of White Rock and Crescent Beach’s sand and scenic boardwalks. A short drive north brings you to the Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal, the jumping-off point for the many islands (from smaller Gulf Islands to the huge Vancouver Island) in the Strait of Georgia.
Across the Border in Washington
The Canada-US border crossing at Sumas, 15 minutes from downtown Abbotsford, is a less-travelled route into Washington and Whatcom County’s wilderness at the foot of imposing Mount Baker, the highest peak in the North Cascades. Hike and bike in summer, ski at Mount Baker in winter, or take a leisurely route west to the Aldergrove crossing, where Aldergrove Regional Park offers wetland scenery before returning to the Canadian side (a longer option within the US continues to the coast and the Peace Arch crossing).
When to go
The Fraser Valley is a year-round destination with mild-but-wet weather from November to February. Higher alpine regions may get snow (with the closest skiing to Abbotsford being across the border on the slopes of Mount Baker), but summer is peak season for camping, especially at lakes, and valley temperatures can be many degrees hotter than at the coast and mountains.
Know before you go
- Most provincial parks take site reservations in advance (recommended throughout the high season of summer) and give an early priority booking window to BC residents.
- The Trans-Canada Highway, which runs through Abbotsford and neighbouring municipalities, is the main thoroughfare to points east and west and can become very congested during rush hours on weekdays and holiday weekends.
- Travelling across the border to the United States can also be very busy during weekends and holidays, requires a valid passport, and is subject to closures (you may need to return via a different crossing than anticipated).
Nearby attractions
- Immerse yourself in history and nature when camping near the Othello Tunnels. Known for its breathtaking trails through old railway tunnels and surrounding wilderness, the Othello Tunnels camping experience combines adventure, relaxation, and a touch of mystery for a truly unforgettable outdoor getaway.
- Experience the best of British Columbia's natural beauty while camping near Hayward Lake Recreation Area. This camping adventure blends waterside relaxation, forested hiking trails, and wildlife spotting for a dynamic and refreshing experience.
