Super beautiful area. Very personable host, who introduced himself and didn’t linger, so we felt like welcome guests. His site was tricky to navigate for exact camping spots when it was dark, but in the daytime it made much more sense. He let us use wood and sticks from the areas around the campground to burn, which was nice.

It's good place for camping especially if you want to visit Mt Robson park.

Amazing location. Surrounded by mighty mountains.
Even with a RV it feels like off grid.

Great little camp! We drove in, in our camper and it was clear where to park, the horses running around between pastures was cool to watch and all staff were friendly and accommodating! If it's raining though Make sure you don't drive left of the entrance as it's super slippery and muddy

Our camper was having issues and wanted to still enjoy the outdoors instead of staying in a hotel. LeeAnn was so great to accommodate on short notice and her farm is very cute. Got to meet some very sweet farm animals 😊

Beautful view - very peaceful place in the middle of the nature surrounded by the horses. The Cowgirls were very helpfull and friendly. If you don’t need any services ( electricity, sewer, internet) it is a nice stay.

Group trip
We loved every minute of it. It was so beautiful.
One of our campers is a horse person, and she absolutely loves seeing those horses
When we pulled in, we actually saw them trotting right in front of us, which is very exciting!
Herb greeted us, and made us feel very welcome!
We will be back.

Abgelegener und wunderschöner Camping. Sehr einfach gehalten. Wenig Camper/Zelte. Der Stellplatz darf selbst ausgesucht werden. Qual der Wahl... alles sind toll! Es hat nur 1 Outhouse und eine einfache Dusche.
Wir haben es extrem genossen aus der Menschenmenge im Nationalpark zu entfliehen und einen so schönen und ruhigen Campingplatz gefunden zu haben!
Sehr empfehlenswert!!

Nice and private place to stay overnight with full services near highway 5. The water is really good to drink, we stayed a couple nights. The only concern would be the train going by quite often during the night, but if you keep all windows closed, you’ll be OK.

Had a great time at Fuzzy Buddy. Loved the view in the morning and with the clear sky's at night star gazing was beautiful. Will do another Hopcamp site again. Love the Turkeys that showed up one morning.

1 night at Whiskeyfill Farm
The tent was a bit different than the pictures, quite smaller but still comfy none-the-less
The queen bed they had in there may have been one of the comfiest I've slept in, my friend even said the cot was awesome too!
For sound sensitive people, this place is near quite active railroad tracks so may be a good idea to bring some ear plugs!

Overview
About
Today the Yellowhead Pass is a valley corridor containing a highway and railway beside crystal clear rivers, through dense forests under rugged peaks links Jasper town site and the provincial border of British Columbia. In the past the low elevation made for easy movement for Indigenous peoples, fur trappers, railways and explorers. The name Yellowhead is the nickname of a fair-haired Metis-Iroquois-freeman named Bostonais, active here in the early 1800s.
When to go
The best time to visit Yellowhead Pass National Historic Site is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is most favourable for exploring the outdoors. Winter can be harsh, with heavy snowfall limiting access to certain areas. However, for those who enjoy winter sports, the colder months offer a unique perspective on the site's natural beauty.
Know before you go
- Always check the weather forecast before planning your visit to ensure safe travel conditions.
- Be aware that wildlife is common in the area; know how to safely observe and interact with the local fauna.
- While the site is always open, some facilities and services may have specific hours of operation.
- Accessibility may vary across different parts of the historic site; plan accordingly if you have mobility concerns.
