Golden Municipal Campground & RV Park

This place gets the job done! But it's nothing spectacular.

We were just passing through from Penticton BC to Edmonton Alberta. We stayed one night then continued the next morning.

This place is very accessible. It's right in town. The sites require you to back in from a road with a curb. The road is not subject to much traffic. Oddly enough, this campground is across from a high school. Also near by is a local swimming pool, curling club and arena. This is nice for those in big rigs because you have plenty of places to park and turn around when checking in without blocking that road for people entering and exiting the park.

Showers and bathrooms are nothing excellent but very adequate to get the job done.

You have your back along the river at most of these sites. There is a fire pit at each campsite.

The downside is that the train across the river will wake you up at night if your not insulated against noise.

All and all, we'd stay here again while passing through. I'd consider staying 2 nights to visit the area. But it's not one of those places that I want to stay for more than that.

After our exit of the National Park, this was a great wind-down spot! Quiet and mellow with the ability to walk to anything we needed. Additional mountain biking and hiking trails right off our site. Did I mention the wi-fi worked for streaming!

Sites are small and relatively flat. Each site has a picnic table and a firepit. Backing up to the river with a nice walking path into town. Across the river is the train. But with no whistling trains and no braking noise, we found them very quiet (compared to Lake Lousie).

Sites vary in service from dry, 15amp and a few 30amp. We had 15 and filled with water prior to going into our site.

Laundry facilities are clean and run $2 for wash $2 for dry. We did not use the shower or bathroom facilities.

The wi-fi in the park was pretty reliable and only got bogged down in the late evening. There is a large covered picnic table area next to the office with plugs and easy access to the wi-fi. I noticed a number of tent campers there catching up with their internet there.

The office stays open until late and they sell camping items, firewood, and ice cream cones.

We walked into town and enjoyed the worlds longest covered walking bridge, some great restaurants, and even a farmers market. There are 2 grocery stores and we really liked the Sav-On just a few blocks from camp.

Somehow messed up my reservation online (wife will tell you it’s not the first time) and arrived to a full park. Was told that overflow parking would cost $11 and includes wifi and washroom access. We are self contained so didn’t use any of the services but found this town and park to be very friendly.
Rec center paved parking lot across the street by a playground. Felt very comfortable staying there as did the other 8-10 RVers on site. Well off the highway so noise was minimal.

We did not camp here. Campground is located along the river but a high embankment blocks the view of the river from the campsites unless you hike up. The main row of campsites are directly along a road, though the campground map shows more sites farther back. Price was $40 for an electric site and $35 for non-electric.

Good spot if you want to be right in town. Good cell service.

The dump station is free for anyone to use and located right in front. Thank you Golden!
