Fernie RV Resort

This is the best RV park we have stayed at yet. Rates for back in full hookup sites are $60 CAD, which is about $46 USD which is very reasonable for how nice the place is. Plus the WiFi actually works! We were able to work from home on their wifi and stream tv. Sites are spacious and gravel, level, and spaced out with grass in between. It’s a big park but they were nice about not packing you in like sardines. Very close to a grocery store and other amenities, and a mile from downtown where there a nice shops and restaurants. Would highly recommend!

What an amazing place. The campground is new and an expansion is still under construction, but it is all great. Along the River with views of the mountains from every site (that is, every very large, level site). I know you folks in the big-boy campers don’t focus on the showers and bathrooms, but those of us in tents and small trailers do. These are the coolest bathrooms I’ve seen in any campground. Really, i say, come for the town, the views, the wonderfully laid out campground, the walking distance to Canada Tire…but stay for the bathrooms.

Fernie Problems:

1) Which side of the Elk River to mountain bike on. Or should drive 10 mins to the trails at Mt. Fernie Provincial Park? Or just take the kids along the River on the Town Loop? Or go to the bike park by the great Aquatic Center (waterside and inflatable obstacle course - check hours, kid pool, huge hot tub with picture window views of the mountains)?

2) Which coffee shop to go to? Fresh bagels at Big Bang are great but vegan treats at Freshies might be better for some. Of course, Valley Social or Bean Pod are great options too. Huh. Maybe one in the morning and one in the afternoon? Will have to create a schedule.

3) Sale racks from gear stores block the sidewalks with deep discounts on the previous season’s stuff). And they don’t even charge you real money! You pay with “loonies” or something.

4) Couldn’t find any good Canadian food so had to settle for Himalayan Spice and Nevados. I guess Fernie Brewing Company is kinda Canadian food (and it was delicious).

5) Hard to decide which of the huge mountains surrounding camp to gawk at.

6) Oh and the RV Park was quiet, had brand new laundry and showers, full hookups and a playground for $40US (don’t spring the for “premium” pull throughs unless you need them, all sites pretty much have the same view). Easy access to groceries, Canadian Tire, anything you need.

Okay fine, come here. Maybe *you* would like it.
