Camping at Jacky's site offers a mix of pros and cons. The location is ideal for exploring the Golden and Yoho area, with easy access to nearby attractions. Visitors appreciate the clean facilities and quiet surroundings, although some mention the proximity to Jacky's residence and the mosquito situation as drawbacks. Overall, it's a convenient stopover for road trips rather than a traditional camping experience.

Quiet.
A quiet, flat site set within land in front of a property, distant enough for privacy. A good base for exploring the Golden and Yoho area. Jacky has a hands off approach to business which was fine for us. Don’t expect much communication.

Solid one night option
It’s a great stop over option. Clean bathroom and site. The mosquitos though are brutal so wouldn’t plan on hanging outside your tent for any period of time.

We enjoyed tent camping at Jacky’s! She is a great and friendly host. The campground was a nice distance from town and lakes nearby which was great!

It was a good stop over
The site was as advertised. Jacky and her partner were very friendly. The porta potty was VERY clean and was just for us. Two negatives- Unfortunately tree sap got all over the car and tent. The water needed to run for a bit and still had some floaters in it. I would stay again as a break from driving but not an overall “camping” experience.

Excellent Experience
Jacky and her husband have taken great care to curate a perfect and comfortable campsite. She was welcoming and friendly. My tent fit the camping pad perfectly. I enjoyed making a fire in the fire pit. And , it was helpful to have a portable toilet within close proximity of my tent pad. I'll definitely stay again if I'm in the area

Not a traditional campground
Jacky responded quickly when I sent questions, and we were only there for 1 night. However this was not a traditional campground- it was 1 site in the hosts side yard. There is NO ELECTRIC hookup & the water source requires 2 hose lengths to reach the campsite. No Wi-Fi. There is a portable potty close to the site.

Good spot to break up a long drive!
I was driving from Vancouver, BC to Red Deer, AB and needed a place to stay for the night. It was not far off the highway, and is exactly like the pictures. I was only there for 12hrs, most of that time spent sleeping, so can't say too much about the grounds or surrounding area/ activities. Was a decent place to spend a night after a long drive.

The owner was very nice but I felt uncomfortable in this space. The camping site is too close to their residence and farm outbuildings (that were in use), and there are no trees etc separating the campsite from the adjacent rental cabin. The lights were left on in the outbuildings all night on my first night, with light shining in my tent. There was also someone heard out walking around the site in the middle of the night. It was not a typical Hipcamp experience.

RV spot was leveled gravel. Potable water within reach of our 50' water fill hose & trailer fresh water inlet. There was a picnic table next to the trailer, a fire pit with chairs, a couple hammocks, and a porta-potty (we did not use it because we had our trailer). The road was pretty quiet, the birds sang in the morning, and we think we saw an elk or two. We would stay here again.

We went not knowing what to expect, but it was an adorable cabin with everything you need provided for a great weekend or week. Close to so many hiking trails, restaurants and we even were able to attend Golden’s Wednesday Market! Amazing experience.

Amazing stay
The land was absolutely beautiful, with a hammock and fire pit for us to use with the added benefit of a washing machine and dryer. The host was lovely, we felt very welcomed and had a great stay. Definitely worth visiting!

Amazing retreat
We loved staying at JCB Cabins ! It had absolutely everything we needed and more, we felt connected to nature but not too far from any activities. Jacky was an amazing host, she was friendly and made us feel comfortable with her personal touch in the cabin. We will absolutely be returning, thank you for everything Jacky !!

My wife and I spent 5 nights here in late July. On the positive side, you are about a 10 minute drive from downtown Golden. The hosts have also put good effort into making the outdoor spaces nice (hammock, fire pit, chairs). However...we couldn't use the outdoor space because the mosquitos were absolutely horrendous. Tried using spray and a Thermocell but there was no relief. The hosts are aware of the issue. I would not recommend staying here during mosquito season but other times of year it is a good spot.

Memorable Stay
I thoroughly enjoyed my time at JCB Campground. The hosts were gracious and accommodating--wonderful to talk to--and the campsite itself was quiet and very beautiful. The hosts have built an enclosed gazebo (with super plush and comfortable sofas) that offered a perfect place to relax and read. The area of Golden is full of exciting and wonderful things to see and do. In one afternoon I visited the second highest waterfall in Canada (Takakkaw Falls), hiked around a beautiful lake (Emerald Lake), saw an impressive natural feature (the Natural Bridge), and then visited the new attraction, the Golden Skybridge, where I walked on the highest pedestrian suspension bridge and then ziplined across the chasm beneath--very exciting! The town of Golden is beautiful, as are its surroundings. I look forward to someday returning to this campsite, as it truly was a gem of a location. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

JCB cabin was perfect!! Jacky is very knowledgeable about the area. The cabin was clean and inviting. Jacky thought of everything!! Washroom is only 70 feet from the cabin and immaculate. Mountain View is spectacular, we would definitely come back!!!

Beautiful Camping Getaway
This was such a beautiful spot to camp. Jacky and her husband were lovely and very helpful. There is plenty of space for tents or a trailer, campervan, tent-trailer, you name it! As well as a large space to gather around a campfire (when permitted) and a nice picnic area. They provided plenty of firewood free of charge. This was also a perfect location right near Golden, easy to pop into town or explore the multiple hiking and biking trails nearby.

New hip camper!
This select spot is a few kilometres south of Golden off hwy #95. Jackie is friendly and made our stay easy – but believe her when she states that NO bathroom facilities are available. I was hoping for a more secluded site in the woods, but we had no complaints.
The neighbourhood is close to the downhill end of biking trails and we enjoyed hiking Canyon Creek nearby.
