Camping & Hiking · British Columbia
A roadside RV park near Fort Steele, BC, with mostly pull-through full-hookup sites and a well-stocked store. Tent sites sit right by the noisy highway, and the pool and washrooms get poor marks.
Fort Steele Resort & RV Park sits on the highway near historic Fort Steele, and most reviewers use it as a convenient stop while passing through. There are lots of sites, mostly pull-throughs with full hookups, and a good amount of grass and room. Some travellers describe it as clean and tidy, if in need of some updating.
The on-site store is the favourite feature: it stocks a bit of everything, the ice cream is good, and there's a shop cat and friendly counter staff. Campfires are allowed at your site, or you can rent the communal fire pits. Prices draw some grumbles, including extra per-person charges and costly tent sites.
It suits RVers who want an easy overnight or a base for visiting Fort Steele, which reviewers call well worth the trip. There's a river nearby for public gold panning and picnics on the river flats.
The criticisms are consistent. Tent sites are right against the highway, with truck traffic through the night, and have no power. Several visitors describe the pool and washrooms as in disrepair, and one found the bathrooms locked overnight until 7 am. Lots of rules and signs make some guests feel unwelcome, and a few describe confrontational run-ins with the owner over parking and rules. Read the cancellation policy before you book, and bring earplugs if tenting.
