Murphy's Gold Creek Ranch
14 sites · RVs, Tents25 acres · Cranbrook, BC
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.
