The best family-friendly glamping near Coquitlam, British Columbia

Oceanic climates and mountains blocking arctic air make Coquitlam a warm region by Canadian standards—perfect for outdoor recreation and camping. Remnants of the area’s logging industry lead campers into provincial parks like Pinecone Burke Provincial Park and Colony Farm Regional Park for hiking, canoeing, horseback riding, hunting, fishing, and swimming year-round. Winter activities include backcountry skiing and snowshoeing along rivers, lakes, and creeks. Camping opportunities are bountiful for tent campers, RVers, and glamping fans, who will find their home-away-from-home amid mountains and lakes. Campsites range from primitive to modern—some with hookups, concrete pads, or wifi, and all surrounded by an abundance of natural splendor.

2 nights at Oceans Edge Eagle Retreat

Quiet, getaway with the view of stars each night. Open fire pits and cosy log burner in the tent for the cooler nights. The beds were super comfortable with high grade thread sheets. It was a wonderful experience and we would do it again.

In the morning I cooked my breakfast bacon with a mountain view!

1 night at Living Large on Chilliwack River

I loved glamping on Lisa and James’ land! They are wonderful hosts, and I felt very welcome and comfortable during my stay. The property is beautiful - right by the river with mountain views you can enjoy from your private deck. The tent was amazing too! It’s set amongst the trees, which provide perfect shade on a hot, sunny day. I had everything I needed to cook, relax, and enjoy myself.

Weekend Trip to Oceans Edge Eagle Retreat

The place was nice and clean, the stay was very pleasant. However, the Fox Den was the only tent without an electric light (all the other tents did have a light). So, if you need light inside the tent book one of the other tents.

2 nights at Oceans Edge Eagle Retreat

We enjoyed our time there. The outdoor kitchen was great and had everything we needed for cooking and cleaning up. The outdoor showers were beautiful, I could stare up at the Eagle’s Nest thru the clear ceiling. Some of the sites had no names and so it was difficult to find our site. Several people had this issue. Tina’s number goes to a voicemail that has not been set-up so we could not reach her by phone. Some people showed up and she did not show their reservation. That was frustrating for some. Also, there is not a beach in the traditional sense of a beach. There is a nice long boardwalk thru a grassy wetland with birds, ducks, geese, and groundhogs. It takes you to a spot where you can see the water far away. Shonna, the assistant was a great help! She worked non-stop making sure everyone was comfortable and happy! Not such a fan of the port-potties but we survived. Lol😆

Was a cozy place to stay the beds were so comfortable. Neat outdoor shower experience you can see the eagle nest above. Was so nice to have a morning coffeee and see the eagle and her baby flying around and being busy bringing stuff to the nest. I loved the outdoor shared kitchen. Had a chance to meet some other campers there who were all friendly made a nice experience for us. No pressure. Friendly atmosphere. Wish we stayed there longer. Will come back if we go to the area again.

My friend Melissa and I absolutely loved our stay at this retreat. We had the pleasure of meeting Tina, the owner, who was incredibly kind and welcoming. She even showed us a fascinating eagle's nest on the property, which was such a unique experience! We left feeling completely relaxed and refreshed—just what we needed to reset before heading back to work. We’re already looking forward to coming back next year!

The best family-friendly glamping near Coquitlam guide

Where to go

Pinecone Burke Provincial Park

Up the old logging roads of Burke Mountain, Pinecone Burke Provincial Park offers opportunities for hiking and e-biking across natural trails or swimming and boating in Pitt Lake and Widgeon Creek. In the winter, try backcountry cross-country skiing or snowshoeing across the park. The only kind of camping allowed is primitive wilderness camping, so adventurous campers must remember to bring everything in (including their own water) and haul everything out. Pinecone Burke campers should also prepare for winter conditions without the use of campfires, which are prohibited. The park features marine access for boat-in-boat-out camping, hunting, and fishing with appropriate licenses.

Minnekhada Regional Park

Adjacent to Pitt-Addington marsh, Minnekhada Regional Park is a popular destination for trail hikers, birders, and wildlife viewing enthusiasts throughout the year. Campers enjoy cycling on paved roads and across Pitt River dykes. Tent campers, RVers, and glampers will find primitive campsites and modern ones with electrical hookups and water lines. Some even provide double and queen beds. Minnekhada is pet-friendly, so long as the pups are leashed and campers bring pet waste bags.

Colony Farm Regional Park

Camping near Colony Farm Regional Park gives quick access to fields, hedgerows, and wetlands to explore on foot or bike. Birding is a popular activity in the park, which hosts over 200 bird species. Take in the sights of wide open fields and towering mountains on the shores of the Coquitlam River, or ride a trusty steed through the marshes and cap the day with a picnic at the provided tables near the community gardens. Many nearby campgrounds offer waterside camping, accommodating RVers and tent campers alike with potable water, showerhouses, electrical hookups, and gravel or concrete pull-through pads. Campers with electric or hybrid vehicles in need of a charge can take advantage of the single charging station in the main parking lot, which is free to use with a two-hour time limit.

When to go

The best time to camp in Coquitlam is July or August, when average temperatures reach no higher than 23.5°C. Summer is the most popular time for visitors, so be sure to make a reservation in advance or get there early enough to snag a first-come, first-served site. Adventurous campers can brave the frigid, wet winters of Coquitlam with average highs of 5.6°C.
