An LGBTQ, clothing-optional campground in the forest near Hope, BC, with old-growth trees, waterfalls, swimming holes and a clubhouse. Very popular, so book early; the access road is steep.
Shadow Falls Campground is a private, terraced property in the forest of the Fraser Valley, run as a gay, clothing-optional campground. Visitors describe old-growth forest, waterfalls and swimming holes on site, and many call it a peaceful place where they can relax and be themselves. Some have been coming back for twenty years.
The two owners get warm praise for being friendly and running a well-organised place. Facilities are described as great, with newer private sites and a clubhouse with a big patio. Plans for additional sites with water and power were underway, according to a regular.
Beyond the swimming holes, there are nature trails and a hike of about 20 minutes to a viewpoint. Select weekends have themed get-togethers, and guests describe a friendly, social crowd. Day visits are possible.
It fills quickly, so book early. The entrance is easy to miss, and a steep, single-lane road leads up to the property. There's no phone number, and one traveller who arrived before the season opened was turned away, so confirm opening dates online first.
