A private campground across Highway 99 from Shannon Falls near Squamish, handy for climbing, the falls and ferries, with a café on site. Reviews are sharply mixed on value, upkeep and extra fees.
Klahanie Campground sits right across the Sea to Sky Highway from Shannon Falls, a few minutes from downtown Squamish. The location is its strongest point: reviewers walked over to the falls, were close to the bouldering areas, and used it as a stop before the Horseshoe Bay ferry. Some sites face the water or the creek, and one camper recommended the ones with water views.
Experiences vary a lot, and the rating reflects that. Some guests found staff responsive and the grounds well kept, liked the easy self check-in, and appreciated hot showers, flush toilets, a dishwashing sink with soap and a small café at the entrance. Others describe a site that felt run-down, with overgrown sites, cracked or broken picnic tables and cigarette butts left behind.
Several recent reviewers felt it was expensive for what you get. Showers and Wi-Fi cost extra, and the Wi-Fi is described as barely enough for email. Sites are small and close together, so larger rigs may feel cramped. One visitor found the signage about fines unwelcoming, and another said the bathroom needed cleaning.
If you just need a convenient night near Squamish, it can work, especially at a quieter or waterside site. Bring coins for the showers, and bring earplugs if you're next to the creek.
