Murphy's Gold Creek Ranch

I sold a business in Toronto and moved West in 1990 and drove all over North America looking for a new place to settle and raise a family.

 While camping in the Kootenay's I found this oasis and bought it.

 I have raised a family living totally off the grid since and love it.

 The water here is so clean and and the air is so fresh is why I stay.

 The night sky is so hard to explain it has to be seen to believe.

Come check it out and you will agree.

Thistle Dew in Fernie

Welcome to Thistle Dew!  We are located 10 minutes south of stunning Fernie, British Columbia. We are located about 15 minutes from Hiway 3.

Thistle Dew is tucked into the mountains and faces the Lizard range at Fernie Alpine Resort.  The campsite is surrounded by beautiful trees, which makes our single tent site feel very tucked away and private.  While the sun is shining, hop on your bike or put on your hikers, step out of your tent and you are on the Elk Valley Trail section of the Trans Canada Trail.  Or head to the river and cool off. At night, have a fire, lean back and look at the stars.  There are very few lights in our neighborhood so the star show is next level.  If the timing is right you might even catch The Northern Lights!

4x4 or AWD vehicle needed to access Thistle Dew, the driveway is steep with loose gravel. Thistle Dew is best suited to the self contained tent or Van campers. There is no water or power available.

Campfires are permitted when there is no fire ban.  Firewood is available for purchase - add as an extra at time of booking.  Firewood will be at campsite when you arrive.

Private campsite in the trees overlooking the Elk Valley.

A great stop if you want to venture to hiking trails around Fernie.

Get your smores kit ready and watch the nightfall in Elk Valley.

Plenty of space for fun  -  a self-contained truck camper and a tent.

Beautiful vistas a few minutes away from the campsite.

Just a few minutes up the gravel road you'll find a magnificent view of the surrounding peaks!

Campsite is just on the left of the steep gravel road, marked by "Private Property" sign at the bottom of the road.

View from the campsite overlooking the trans-Canada bike path.
