There are so many positives, it would be hard to list them all, but I'll try 😀 Plenty of space. Limited water spaces. On-reserve. Indigenous-owned, status cards accepted 👍 🧡 Quiet for being near a major road. The trees and fence block most of the sound. Washrooms are exceptionally clean! Large spacious shower. Outhouses conveniently located all over the site for easy access in the night. Walking distance to town, food, amenities, and a playground at Memorial Park for those traveling with children. Fire pits! 🔥 (forest fires have been a problem along the Fraser, but glad they still trust their campers with fire) Staff are super friendly. ⚡ EV FRIENDLY ⚡ This is an important one for me. Tesla Camp mode. IYKYK. Hook-ups are: Nema 14-50 (50 amp), TT-30 (travel trailer 30 amp), Nema 5-20r (20 amp, sideways pin), and Standard 110v (15 amp). So bring your appropriate adapters and set your amperage to 80% of rated if your adapter doesn't do it automatically. All the Official Tesla adapters automatically select 80% of the amperage. I seen a complaint in another review about charging guests. I've seen this before at other sites and appreciate it. It stops small parties. They also charge for showers and picnic tables for those not staying on site. A convenience for those not staying, and keeps people trying to get a freebie, not to mention cleaning up after guests who are not paying. I think thats the difference between a private and a gov campground. Except I'd rather not give my money to the gov't if I don't have to.
🏕️ My stay was pleasant with my 2 year old. I am a Squamish Nation member, and without bias, this was one of the best camping trips spur of the moment that I've been on. So much so, that I was trying to find ways to get more time off work to return! 🧡
That being said, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this campsite if you are staying in Hope. Emory Creek is further up, but lack the amenities of this site. You'll be close to town, and close enough to Hell's Gate Tram, Alexandria Bridge hike, Lake at the Woods, and even Harrison Hot Springs.

Read moreThis campground is quite delightful. We found it by chance and immediately decided to stay two nights, then we stayed another couple of nights three weeks later on our way home. The First Nations owners are charming, friendly, helpful, and very laid-back; they were in no hurry to take our money – they said to choose a site for our RV and pay later.||The campground caters for tents as well as RVs. RV sites cost $35 (or $30 if you’re over 65), credit cards accepted. Site numbers 1 and 6 have the best of the afternoon sun and the stunning views of the mountains across the river, and the free wifi is excellent about as far as site no 9. We had no problems with the washrooms – the showers are free (but there is no private cubicle for dressing after your shower), the water was very hot and there was plenty of soap and loo paper. The washing machine cost $2, and the drier only $1, and lasted a very long time. ||The individual sites have water and electricity, and there is a sani dumping station for grey and black water. Each site has a picnic table, and if you go out for the day you can ask for a ‘Reserved’ sign to reserve your site.||It’s only a short walk into Hope town, where there’s a supermarket, liquor stores and eateries, and an extremely helpful visitor centre.||Visit the Othello Tunnels and the Hope Slide while...
