Our family owns 40 acres of land in the forest set a ways back from the main road. We have a family home here as well as lots of land to explore and enjoy. There are trails into the neighbouring properties (however some are a bit wild and overgrown). We're close to many things such as the Skybridge, the Wolf Sanctuary, the beautiful rivers and waterfalls down in the Blaeberry, the lakes around the area and up the ski hill. There is lots of whitewater rafting, mountain biking and paragliding in the summer. In the winter it's an amazing backcountry skiing area or go up the Kicking Horse Mountain resort. Our site is private and secluded. Further down the road is our house where we are doing lots of building and construction so mind the mess if you do go for a wander.

Weekend Trip to Columbia wetlands Outpost

The campground was easy to find with lots of amenities and fun activities to keep busy with. We stayed at site #5 which was clean and private with lots of surrounding trees and a good size for my large SUV and a pickup truck with our kayaks. We chose to explore the wetlands on our own but I wish there was more information/signage readily available for where to park, doc, and kayak as we didn't get a chance to speak with anyone from the campground while we were there. Using the electronic maps provided on the website and messages with the hosts, we were eventually able to figure it all out and had a lovely kayaking journey. The worlds largest paddle was beautiful but again, not much signage and could easily be missed driving by which would be sad as it was a cool stop. Next time we stay here we will definitely check out the disc golf course, walking trails, and the slip and slide pond. All in all this would be a great place to stop whether you have kids or are adults looking for a fun weekend adventure.

This spot is truly a hidden gem! 10/10 will be going back. The waterfalls are absolutely beautiful, not to mention just a short beginner hike away. The stars were incredible at night and the mountains were spectacular. The sites are very well maintained, private and it’s extremely convenient as it’s only a 20 min drive to Golden. Truly a magical camping experience!!! I think everyone should take the opportunity to check this place out!

We camped in the electrical and water hook up for an trailer. It was great, It allowed us to do everything we needed since we were out most of the day hiking and needed all the amenities at night. The shower house/ bathroom was clean, warm water and had laundry if you needed. This was all included for a great price. I would 100% recommend and come back again

The mountain views were absolutely breathtaking, and the location couldn’t have been better — just minutes from Golden, surrounded by amazing trails for machines, and only about an hour from the majestic Lake Louise. The host was so accommodating and welcoming, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a mix of adventure and stunning scenery!

Beautiful area! Very treed in! Sites are close together but still feel private. Randy was very accommodating when I wanted to change sites once we arrived. He also recommended things for us to check out and a local restaurant in town to try out(Papa Bear’s is a must try!). Yea, there are mosquitos…just like everywhere else. So bug spray/thermacell is a must! Would definitely stay here again!
