Creature comforts

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.

Review summary
Generated from real Hipcamper reviews
Murphy's Gold Creek Ranch offers a serene camping experience with a variety of amenities. Campers appreciate the peaceful setting with mountain views and a nearby creek, perfect for relaxation and activities like swimming or gravel biking. The hosts, Cornelius and Angela, are frequently praised for their friendliness and willingness to accommodate guests' needs. Some reviews note that larger RVs might find the terrain challenging, and the shared bathroom facilities could use more frequent cleaning during busy times.

Camped in a 25 ft travel trailer at Murphys Peaceful Cranbrook Campsite with pets, Nov 2026.
Recommends
Very dog friendly. Super nice host. Relaxing and gorgeous spot.
Bryce W.
Camped in a 20 ft truck camper at Premium Creek side with pets, Sept 2026.
Recommends
Great setup for rooftop tenting and feeling very “backcountry” without having to rough it. The available bathroom and shower are such a great addition to the amazing piece of land Cornelius has made available. Very quiet and serene and surrounded by amazing roads for gravel biking if that’s your thing.
Suzanne S.
Camped in a 36 ft class a at Shangri La Creek side with pets, Sept 2026.
It was okay
Absolutely beautiful spot, the hosts were great, and our dogs really enjoyed the freedom and playing in the creek. My only concern would be for those with big RVs - we have a 36’ Class A that was a bit challenging to get in and out. As long as people are aware that large units may have challenges (bottoming out, etc) all is well.
