Nice location just east of Golden British Columbia. Site is about 20 ft wide by 40 ft long sloping North. 20 amp electrical connector and garden hose for water supply. Onsite hosts, we're great. Just blocks away from the golden skybridge.

We had a great stay here. Definitely need to have a full self-contained set up though. It was peaceful and had nice views of the creek and mountains. As others have said there are a few horse groups that go past but this didn’t bother us at all. It is near to a road but there was minimal traffic, possibly as we were staying over the weekend. Had the place to ourselves for two nights and it was a great stop for nearby trails and exploring further than the main icefields parkway touristy spots.

Great campsite so private and quiet. The outhouse is nice surprisingly. The waterfall is beautiful! Had it all to ourselves!
Yes lots of mosquitos but you are in the woods! We sat outside and watched the meteor shower!

We stayed 2 nights on the RV site near the bridge. This site was fine for a 2-night stop over. Yes, it is by the road, but not a busy one, and if you park the RV parallel to the road you have additional privacy. We had plenty of alone time despite the road. Bonuses: site is near a creek and includes a small swimming hole (with incredible rocks), it is on a horse trail, it is only a short walk to the sleepy bear outhouse and a beautiful hike up to multiple waterfalls. The signage could be improved; otherwise, a nice stop for 1 or 2 nights.

We had a very mixed experience. The host was very communicative, but we struggled to find the site (we did come a bit later in the day, but the signage was poor), and the pictures which suggest near the water are misleading. The site is NOT near the water. The waterfalls are beautiful, and the area is lovely, but we also had so many mosquitos that we had to leave a day early; any outdoor activities save cycling were unbearable.

Ignore the bad review on here. Place was what was advertised. Would pop in again. Sadly we didn't get to enjoy any trails around as we're fron ontario and had to split first thing in the morning.
Thanks for the sleep 😴

This spot is truly a hidden gem! 10/10 will be going back. The waterfalls are absolutely beautiful, not to mention just a short beginner hike away. The stars were incredible at night and the mountains were spectacular. The sites are very well maintained, private and it’s extremely convenient as it’s only a 20 min drive to Golden. Truly a magical camping experience!!! I think everyone should take the opportunity to check this place out!

Cool little spot to camp for the night. Quiet and private. By a road, but hardly any traffic, so it was fine. Waterfall is worth the walk.. 15-20 minutes.. bring your mosquito net!

The RV pad is not as secluded as the other spots. It is right off of a road that has some traffic, but overall it is a nice spot to spend some off-grid quality time. The waterfalls are amazing and 100% worth the hike to get there. Just bring lots of bug spray!

Good location for secure camping close to Thompson falls trailhead. Level campsite large enough for most overlanding rigs. Fire ring near the back of the campsite. About 100 meters up the road from a nice and clean outhouse. Lots of clearing going on in this area for future real estate! The road in is packed dirt and very easy driving. The site is only about 20 meters off the road, but not too noisy. Easy access from the road. Spent two nights and I would camp here again.
