Great free camping option. Lots of spots but very busy, even in the off season. Spots are relatively private, some more than others. Overall 9/10

Great place, busy when we got there but got a spot. As others have said clean pit toilets, bring your own paper and otherwise just a really nice free site!!

Great place. Pit toilets were clean, bring TP.
Only mild train noise. Beautiful creek. Loved it here.

Amazing free campground near the Columbia River. Some sites on the river, others in the trees. Water is very fresh. There is even a natural little pool you can soak in. Most of the sites have picnic table and fire pit and there are some pit toilets (not the cleanest but at least they exist - bring toilet paper). Good cell service. The only thing is that it’s quite busy in the summer with long term stays. You need to arrive early if you want to secure a spot on the river.

Wow! Spacious sites,some RIGHT on the river.

We camped about a metre from the water's edge.
Some folks swam but too cold for us.

What a stunning place to stay for the night! You do need to get there relatively early in the summer to secure a spot but it’s well worth it. There are pit toilets which weren’t great but do the job, (bring toilet paper with you incase). There were some spots with tables also and fire rings. The mozzies were pretty bad so be prepared for that.

Beautiful campsite! Only us and three other RVs. A little snow on the creek but the campsite is cleared.

One of the most beautiful campgrounds around! A pit toilet, picknic tables, fire pits, scenic view over the river. Just wow! And it’s free. Almost all the snow was gone and the campground was easy accessible.

Rolled in late and found a spot easily. Nice location and plenty of space.

This place is magical. And open btw! We stayed right at the river, teal blue water and Milky Way at night. Some other rvs and tents. Pit toilets. If you are on your way from Glacier to Yoho/Banff, stay here! You will absolutely not regret it. Free aswell.

Nice spot, definitely open !
On the way there is a private road on the left, but just take the road on the right.

Saw the latest comment while we were in Glacier NP saying this was closed so we stayed at Illecillewaet instead. Thought we would stop by and check while heading to Golden and it is most definitely open. Attached photo is for another road - not the road to the site. Carry on along the road, across the bridge, site on the left

There is now a private property sign at the start of the FSR stating 'only authorized vehicles'. As well as a log placed over the road so you cannot drive down it :(

Spent 2 nights here. Quiet by the river just the occasional logging truck. Clean pit toilet. Good access from highway last gravel stretch no problem for any vehicle. Level but could be muddy when wet

Lots of sites along river. Free campground

Really nice clean free rec site with a lot of good spots on the water. Maybe it was just the day we were there but mosquitos were unbearable with the fire ban in place.

Two different people parked up right next to us in our camp. If the site on the river is taken, there are plenty of sites further back, no need to intrude on people!

Awesome spot, heaps of space but crowded. Feels like an official campground but free! Did see quite a few logging trucks pass by on the logging road so keep an eye out.

Super nice place to stay for 14 days / nights maximum, for free. One of our fave iOverLander. We stayed 2 nights with our van and it was perfect. No problems. Clean space, toilets, large camp for each car / van. We were right by the river. Calm and quiet place! Highly recommand!

Just as described. Great sites many right on the river. Good shade, with fire rings and tables.

The gravel road in is in great condition. The turn off has a small sign easy to find. We came at 4pm on a Monday and almost half the sites where open.

Report Check-In

Great free place with pit toilets and picnic tables. The view of the river is beautiful. The sign says you can stay up to 14 days, but some of people there have been there a while and are very protective of their spots. Make sure you park in a designated spot not too close to anyone else. Also be sure to take away all trash you bring in since it’s pack in pack out and there are no trash cans.

Amazing spot. We met some pretty awesome people there who were doing like us, traveling. We spent two nights there, was very beautiful and secluded in the woods. There are also other beautiful places to venture out around that forest road. Would def recommend to anyone.

Very nice camping spot with pit toilet, fire pit and picnic table. Also really close to the Highway 1, and not a long drive in a forest road. Highly recommended.
