A clean, forested RV park and campground on Swift Creek at Valemount, BC, known for spotless private shower rooms, spacious sites and salmon spawning in the creek. You'll hear highway and trains.
Yellowhead RV Park & Campground sits among tall evergreens beside Swift Creek, steps from Valemount's main intersection. Reviewers call the grounds neat and well kept, with large sites, some on the creek bank and some pull-through. It's about an hour and a half from Jasper.
The facilities stand out. Many reviewers say they're the cleanest washrooms, showers and laundry they've seen at a campground. Showers are private rooms, and one camper says they're free. There's a dish-washing area, and garbage and recycling are handy. Laundry takes loonies, firewood is sold by the bundle, and the water is potable. Office staff get warm praise for being welcoming and flexible with last-minute bookings and group sites.
It suits road-trippers who need a clean stop, and riders heading to the nearby Valemount bike park. In season you can watch salmon spawning in the creek, which several guests enjoyed. Swimming in the creek isn't allowed, to protect the salmon run. Town is close for fuel and food.
Noise is the main trade-off. Big rigs on the highway and trains are audible, especially from a tent. Washrooms close late each morning for cleaning, and quiet hours are enforced, so groups should keep it down after dark.
