SPECIAL COMMENTS & PERSONAL OBSERVATIONS
OF THE TWO RV GYPSIES

This campground is nestled in the alpine forests of the spectacular Coast Mountain range and is 18 km from Whistler Village, and about 90 minutes drive to Vancouver. Wow! What a view the two RV Gypsies had out of their front window at Whistler RV Park (see photos below). They woke up each morning to the breathtaking view of Black Tusk and Whistler Mountain right from their RV.

The park provided free Wi-Fi at the site that worked relatively fast, but was not secured. The park was big rig friendly. The site that the two RV Gypsies had was extra long (the longest site they ever had in eight years of traveling in a big RV), sewer, water and 50 amp electricity, but NO TV at all. No pool. No recreation hall.

There was also free Village shuttle which the two RV Gypsies did not use. Whistler RV Park and Campground is open year-round, and occupies 104 acres, with 102 fully serviced RV sites and 44 seasonal private tent sites, bathrooms, hot showers, and a dish washing station all of which the two RV Gypsies did not use. Pets were welcomed at no charge.

The road up to the campground was quite steep and had several big curves. All-in-all one, of the most relaxing, scenic RV park the two RV Gypsies have found in the eight years of their full-time travels. (Although every now and then a train horn could be heard in the distance).

It was a bit cool out, but the two RV Gypsies had lunch at the picnic table (something they seldom do) because they just wanted to enjoy the beautiful view behind their RV. Photos can not do justice to such amazing scenery.

On the last day in this campground, the two RV Gypsies were just arriving back to their site, when they spotted a rainbow, so Karen Duquette quickly snapped a few photos as she got into the RV. It was raining.
