Private campsite in the trees
Holly's campsite is a perfect stop for the night! This was our first night on our big trans-Canada adventure. The campsite is private and in the trees, offering plenty of sun during the day but keeping you nicely in the shadows for the first part of the morning. Holly was an incredible host, everything from communication, road directions and local's tips were spot on. There is easy access to mountain biking and hiking trails, and the trans-Canada bike path is very nearby. Cleanest portapotty we've ever seen! Easy 10 minute drive from Fernie, with a gravel road for the last 1km. The road up to the camp site is short and steep, 4x4 is recommended but not necessary for a skilled driver. The trains do make some sound in the evening and morning but it didn't bother us at all!

The site was amazing! Beautiful views and lots of privacy. Aside from the occasional train, it was quiet and peaceful. Perfect location only being a few minutes outside of town. Will definitely camp here again!

Good MTB Base Camp
Holly was a friendly and responsive host. Site is 10 min drive from Fernie, which was awesome. There is also a nice mountain bike trail you can use to get from the site to town.
The site was basic but exactly as described. The driveway to the site is steep and loose gravel. You can get up there with 2wd (I was in a Ram Promaster camper van) but need to really gun it.

Would go again!
Awesome little spot with a great view. Little steep rock road to get in, but our SUV got up just fine. Incredibly clean portable washroom on site (cleanest I've ever seen!)
We only stayed one night on our way to Montana but would highly recommend to anyone wanting to stay closer to Fernie and have a campsite to yourself! No one else was sold except the owners who had their own seperate driveway and we barely saw them at all.

Very easy and convenient spot close to the local trails. Holly is a very nice and understanding host even when I messed up the days I needed to stay.
