Derby Reach Regional Park — Attraction in Township of Langley

Pay ONE night at a time. The park doesn't take reservations so paying each day won't get you kicked out. If I had known about this no refund policy, I would have paid for one night at a time. I ended up paying $75 for one night of camping. DON'T go here if you are TENTING and there is any chance of rain. These sites are ONLY suitable for RVs. The sites are a very hard packed gravel that doesn't drain water very well. The sites are slightly, dished, likely from the weight of the RVs. When it rains the water pools right where you are required to set up a tent. When we got up in the morning our tent was in a pool of water. The park policies do not allow tenters to set up on grassy areas which would solve this water, pooling problem. Also, the gravel is very sharp and slightly, damaged the ground sheet and bottom of our tent. BRING earplugs for sleeping. There's a train track just across the Fraser River. The trains run all night long, tooting their horns. Be ready to CLEANUP your site before you use it. Mine was covered with bits of garbage from the last user. I don't know why the paid staff don't clean up sites between users. Bring a GAS mask! There's no area just for tenters. We got to breath the exhaust fumes from the generator located in the motorhome next spot over. Be aware of the extra COST of the toll bridges in the area. There are two toll bridges: the Port Mann Bridge and the Golden Ears Bridge. DO stay on the right side of the bridges to avoid extra costs while camping in the...

Derby Reach is a nice little park for a family picnic. It is on the south side of the Fraser River. It is located about 20 minutes drive from the Langley shopping district. Once you park your car. walk towards the park. You will find a stretch of river banks. You have an open view of the river and treed hills on the other side of river. To your right, there is a small campsite. If you follow the walk trail to your left, there are fenced dog areas where you can play with your k9 friends (one for small dogs only) off-leash. There are a couple of trails take you deeper into the woods/fields if you want to work off the little muffin top. Yes. There is public washrooms. There is a sheltered picnic area where you can be protected from the natural elements. Yes. It is outdoor with enough space for everyone to enjoy the fresh air mask-free. Enjoy and...

I think most of the pics posted so far show the park near the Fraser River side. We entered from the Houston Trailhead near 102 Ave and McKinnon Crescent. That parking lot is very small (maybe 15 cars max). There is a washroom there. The Houston Trail is well maintained gravel. There are enough elevation changes to make it fun but not difficult. At the north most corner of the trail you can branch off to the Park Heritage Area which I recommend. It has large open areas with benches, and amazing structures with a lot of posted information. I loved the barn and found the decorative hole at the top intriguing. Especially the view of it from the inside as seen through the panels. There are multiple paths back the the Houston Trail. On the way back you will pass a rest area with beautiful north/northwest views. I look forward to visiting again...
