Ranch Camping (Mount Robson)
The ranch was very beautiful with a stunning view. If you love horses this is the PERFECT place for you! If not, like us, it can be a bit intimidating that they run around everywhere. But Katy and her colleagues guaranteed us they knew how to behalve around people, and they luckily did! We stayed only one night instead of two but that was because there were less hikes than hoped around Mount Robson. Katy was very kind and her ranch screams girlpower!

Exceptional camping location
I arrived at the site pretty late in the night since it was a bit tough to find the site and when I woke up first things came out of my mouth “oh Wowww” when I saw the mountains. Started going around and saw the beautiful horses. That just made my day. And a few minutes later I met Katy and the cutest dog Lucy advancing with so much active and fun energy. I couldn’t have asked for a better way to start my vacation.

Tent
We had a great time with our hosts in a spectacular place with incredible views and rustic canvas tent. A true off grid experience with horses. We didn’t get to ride but with the option offered we are keen to get back there. 10 outta 10.

Not safe/ welcoming 4 young family
Overall we had many concerns with our stay, mainly regarding safety. Firstly communication with the host was poor. She did not call back or reply to 2 messages before we arrived. She did not respond to questions over the phone in a welcoming manner. Information was misleading - potable running water advertised & reinforced over the phone- but the water was in a tank, ran out, and was not clearly safe to drink. Water was used by ranchhands and was not refilled so there was barely any for our use. Outdoor Kitchen area was very messy; leftovers cooked by ranchhands were left out, along w/ open cereal boxes, bagels, and other foods. This was all outdoors, right next to the campsite and the outhouse, in bear country. The trash bin was not locked and would be very easy for wildlife to get into. My biggest concern was that there was an electric fence right next to the campsite with no sign or warning whatsoever. It just looked like a rope fence. Our son touched it almost immediately on arrival (thank goodness it wasn’t on). Later the ranchhands told us offhand that it is electric and gets turned on in the morning. Our second morning the horses were released around our campsite without notice. They suddenly ran around our toddler son and our dog without warning. I place the responsibility for these issues on our host, whom we never met, rather than the ranchhands, who were busy young women - they were not responsible for our comfort though they certainly should have been safer.

Relaxing ranch camping
The ranch, horses and friendly ranchers created a nice peaceful setting. Beautiful mountain views and sunset added to the experience. The RV trailer spot could be improved by levelling it with a clear stone gravel pad. A vent for the outhouse would be helpful. We were grateful for the use of the BBQ grill and water.
The proximity to Mt. Robson visitor centre (15 mins. drive) was a big factor for us. Signage to the ranch from Hwy 97 could be improved.
At $30/n, the price is good value for campers who are travelling through. I would recommend it more highly if there was a purpose-made RV trailer pad with less dust.
