Northern Lights RV Park & Cabins — Hotel in Area D (Kiskatinaw Valley)

After snapping our Mile Zero photos at the Dawson Creek Visitors Centre, finding the campground (CG) was a breeze—it's conveniently located just off Hwy 97 heading west. Check-in was smooth, and we were quickly settled into one of their upgraded pull-through sites with privacy fencing. Site 43 was a spacious, full-hookup pull-through with well-placed utilities mid-pad, which made it easy to position our rig for dumping both black tanks and still have plenty of room to park our F450. We had solid connectivity during our stay: 2 bars on Verizon, 3 bars on T-Mobile, and a clear view of the sky for our Starlink, which delivered download speeds of 84.9 Mbps and uploads at 2.16 Mbps. The CG’s Wi-Fi exceeded expectations for campground internet, clocking 4.82 Mbps on download—more than adequate for light browsing and email, as noted in their materials. The newer privacy fences between the upgraded pull-throughs were a thoughtful addition, offering a little extra separation and comfort without feeling boxed in. The CG hosts a mix of seasonal oil workers and road-tripping travelers, and amenities include a well-kept bathhouse and laundry. There’s no formal dog area but you can walk your dog in grass areas near the farmer’s field. There’s a nice-sized fenced dog park about 8 minutes away in Fort Nelson at 15th St. and 106 Ave. We had a great chat with Mike, the owner, who’s a seasoned RVer himself. It really shows in how the campground is run—there’s a genuine effort to provide a comfortable and convenient stop for fellow travelers. We thoroughly enjoyed our three-night stay while exploring Dawson Creek’s historic Mile Zero and the incredible wood carvings in...

Oh my god, I don’t think I can rave enough about this place! Not only did they get me a spot for the night at 5:30 PM on a Sunday, the owner stepped in to assist her staff and they shuffled around dons reservations and gave me the spot for a week! And the owner had just returned from a weekend away, and her employee waited in the office after closing so I could secure the space and sign papers! THIS IS EXACTLY HOW A BUSINESS SHOULD BE RUN! I walked away feeling extremely special, and that’s how you want your customers to feel and their experience to be!

The camp spaces are big enough, not much privacy but we didn’t care, we had a spot to be! The facilities are fantastic! I’ve never seen such a clean bathroom! Felt a little bad for using it lol. Showers were good, 3 minutes for a dollar! ($3 was plenty if time!) the laundry room was just as immaculate! Machines are big and clean and very reasonably priced! ($3 wash, $2 dry and that gives you an entire cycle which is plenty to dry your stuff!) and all this is accessible to guests 24/7!

I’m sad to be leaving, as they made me feel welcomed and valued, but our time is up and we must move on. But I wish them all the success in the world as business owners because they appear to run their business as they would like to be treated themselves as customers! I hope other businesses in the area take note! Should we ever return to the area, this will be my first place to try to book to stay at!

Thank you so very much for the wonderful experience during my very stressful time! I will...

This campground, though not located in a pristine forest, is the perfect RV stop in Dawson Creek before heading north on the Alcan or south back to the Lower 48. We have stayed here twice - last spring when there was mud everywhere due to spring run off and Mike brought a pallet to our door to help with the water and mud. This time, it was sunny and cold and the park was just what we needed after a long day trek ... when Mike noticed our trailer was leaning. To make a very long story short, our leaf springs needed some serious help and he directed us to the right RV mobile repair man and we left Dawson Creek feeling a little better about the condition of our trailer. Both times, I did laundry (and actually looked forward to their laundry facilities this time) in their very clean laundry room. I love that they have a 'mud room' so that the facilities stay nice in the midst of rain, snow, mud. I couldn't however, figure out how to turn the lights on so my experience was rather 'dark.' LOL My husband and I would not only recommend this campground to those passing through, but also linked it to our blog of our travels. The night view of the lights of Dawson Creek are spectacular. The biggest mistake we ever made was NOT staying in this park! Don't make the same one! Thanks for everything! We might see you again in the fall as...
