The campground

Rustic, and that's the point

No hookups, no showers, no amplified music. Just forest sites, a private beach on the river and a sky full of stars. Most of our campers come back year after year.

What's here

  • A private sandy beach on the Squamish River
  • A river back channel for canoes and floats
  • Sites in all shapes and sizes, from solo to large groups
  • Outhouses along the campsites
  • Secure garbage bins and bottle recycling
  • Eagles, deer and glacier views

What to bring

  • Your own drinking water (we sell bottled water at the office)
  • Everything you need off-grid: no water or power at sites
  • No showers on site
  • Respect for the wildlife: store food properly

People come back for years

Some of our regulars have been camping here for a decade.

★★★★★

“We've been coming here for 7 years now; Ali and his family have always treated us kindly and fairly. The views are incredible and the other campers are always friendly.”

Trevor B.
★★★★★

“The sites and washrooms were clean, the campsites were free of garbage and glass, and other campers were respectful with noise limits. The view was beautiful and I'll definitely return!”

Laura
★★★★★

“We got one of the beach front lots and had ample space for our 7 tents, 8 cars, and 16 people, plus space to walk about and hangout.”

Justin W.
★★★★★

“Our group of 13 camped here for three nights and had nothing but great experiences. The scenery of the mountains and river is beautiful, the port-a-potties are very well-maintained, and the owners were very friendly.”

Kai O.
★★★★★

“The campsites are big, clean and have picnic tables. And if you don't have a fire pit you can rent one from them, we didn't have one so that was a big advantage.”

Daria K.
★★★★★

“I have been camping here since 2015, and I truly believe it is a home away from home for me and my friends.”
