This is one of the nicest campgrounds that the two RV Gypsies have stopped
at. It is located right off Highway 16 in the city of Telkwa, in-between
Houston and Smithers. It was up for sale on this date and the internet
said that it is now permanently closed. Below are several reasons why
the two RV Gypsies think this WAS a great RV Park. |
There is a FREE high-pressure RV Wash to clean off the front of your RV and toad. |
The price is the same or less than other campgrounds with less amenities. |
Fast Wi-Fi with 10 GB (and FTP access), with password: this has been unheard of anyplace else. |
66 channels on the TV that came in clearly, including a channel with a TV guide. |
50 amp full hook-up was available. This is not common in Canada and even in a lot of the US. |
Hot showers, restrooms, SAUNA, plus a coin laundry in a locked building. (get a key) |
Smoking not permitted in or around any building. |
Boat launch area into Bulkley River |
a 10-minute walking trail to Telkwa |
friendly, polite person in the small office (the owner on this date). |
gravel/dirt roads and sites with grass at sites, picnic table in good shape, and fire pit. |
one negative - NOT the fault of the campground - a few trains came by with loud horns. |
Check-out time was 11 a.m. There was no pool, but the two RV Gypsies do not use pools anyway, and the other Canadian campgrounds that the two RV Gypsies have visited did not have pools either. Pets allowed on leash, but not in the shower building. Firewood and laundry soap for sale in the office which was open 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Quite hours after 10 p.m. |

Below: The two RV Gypsies took a short
walk down the hill to Bulkley River, past two very large fishing tents
(they had electricity plus a big refrigerator inside each tent). Then
the two RV Gypsies walked over a short bridge to see the river. |
