Hidden behind the motel, many of the sites were in mud puddles. Otherwise, it was clean, sites were level. Diesel fuel sold in front of the motel was the highest ($6.08/gal) I've paid in Canada. It's big-rig friendly. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Entry to the park was difficult due to road construction and trucks parked in the store parking lot. Getting a 40' MH and tow into the sight was a challenge. Some deep ruts due to recent rain. Some of the staff were not very customer oriented. Overnight only. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Choices are limited in Ft Nelson. Basic site in gravel lot, but expensive for what you get. The sites are behind the Blue Bell Motel. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
When in Fort Nelson, it's a toss-up between this gravel parking lot behind a gas station or the larger mud hole at the West End of town. Neither is someplace you would want to stay for a season, but both provide the basics. If I had to choose, I would stay at the West End Campground, only because they have a laundromat. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed only one night with a rally of big rigs. The facilities were okay; no landscaping, gravel roads that were tight to maneuver, very little room between sites. The entrance was a little difficult to find off the frontage road off the highway. There's a great pub across the highway with really good food. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We were very disappointed with this park. It was a gravel parking lot with spaces so close that it was extremely difficult to park. The WiFi did not work and none of the staff had a clue as to what was wrong. Bathrooms were clean, but already showing inadequate maintenance issues. The drainage is very poor and the interior roads and campsites become mud puddles when it is raining. We will never stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a gravel parking lot behind a motel. The pull-through sites are OK, but are extremely close together. The people in the RV beside us could not put out their slide because they were so close to us. The back-in sites are narrow and short. It was raining when we were there, and the drainage was terrible. The Wi-Fi did not work, and the staff did not have a clue how to fix it. We will not stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Not sure of rate, we stayed as part of a tour. Most of the sites are very large and nice. Our caravan was in the back sites which are the bigger and better sites. Another caravan was up towards the front in side-by-side hookup sites. They were really packed in. Make sure you get one of the bigger ones. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Adequate place to park for the night with hookups. They had a big laundry, and a well stocked convenience store. The RV area is in the back and the truck area is in the front, so no chance of truck noise or anything. They also had a big laundry, and plenty of elbow room. All the sites are satellite friendly, but have shade trees. The pull-throughs are large enough for any size BigRig and tow car. We are in 42' MH, towing a truck, and there is room for another toad back there! Gravel sites with big grass area between sites. Tables at each site, but no fire rings. We would stay here next time we are in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is under new management as of September 1, 2009, and it shows. The owner registered us, and she was extremely friendly and pleasant. Our slot was fairly level and easy to pull into. The slots were a little close together, but there were plenty of trees and picnic tables. The bathrooms were meticulously clean and in good shape, although somewhat rustic. The park charges a loony to shower, but at least the showers were spotless. The laundry room was more run down but spacious. Wi-Fi in the park was hit or miss, but I was able to sit in the saloon and get a strong signal over a cup of coffee. Breakfast prices in the saloon were reasonable, but dinner prices were steeper. Unlike other reviewers, we did not find the park very muddy, even though it rained while we were there, and we didn’t have problems with potholes. In general, the park was a little run down, but the new owner seems to be making improvements already. This was great for an overnight. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Worst campground I have ever stayed in. It was a mud pit. The restroom and laundry were filthy with machines from 1970. They machines were very expensive and after 3 cycles my clothes were still sopping wet. Sites were dirty with smell of sewage. I would not stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
I concur with the preceding reviews concerning holes, mud, puddles, wiring, and the burned out building. It was quiet even though the front sites are right on the Alaska Highway. The Wi-Fi worked okay. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Maybe this campground would be better if you were not here during or after it rained, because the huge potholes, puddles and mud leave a very bad impression overall. That and the fact that the showers did not work in one building-you had to go to those by the office. Wifi was not working from our site and again, no desire to wade through the mud to go to the office. There were also big mud puddles on our site. We were asked to pull up as far as possible on our site when we checked in-to do so would have put our steps in the middle of a huge puddle. The site next to ours had experienced some kind of problem because it was covered in oil. They did eventually put down some sort of absorbers to soak up the oil. The burned out building is still there. The overall place really needs some major work done in just the basics-gravel, paint, trimmed trees, mow, etc. The one very good thing was the cable tv was excellent. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is one of the most poorly maintained parks we’ve ever stayed in. The owner is helpful when there is a problem but she needs to fix many things in this park. Between our site and the next there was sewage all over the ground when we pulled in. The owner came immediately and cleaned the ground then put some acid in the hole. The site was assigned shortly after and they dumped their gray water into another sewer drain several feet from the one that had been cleaned. All of the water started pouring out all over the ground. The owner came once again and put more acid down both of the drains and said “my snake is at the other campground" (Dawson Creek- Northern Lights) and told the man he could move because he could not use the sewer. There are cable wires all over and our site had a 3 way splitter, so two adjacent sites could hook up to cable, but the cable channels were all snowy. The sites are fairly level in spots but have deep ruts in other spots. Wi-Fi signal was poor to non-existent at times. This park does get a lot of business each night because it is only one of two parks in Fort Nelson and is large. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The water quit shortly after checking in. This took over an hour to be remedied. The Wifi was VERY weak, and slow, and accessible only from the laundry or near the office. The mosquitos ate me alive while I waited. The final negative was the shell of the burned out maintenance building with its collection of incinerated ATV's which had been pulled outside and abandoned. While this was mostly obscured by the trees, it was still there and had been that way for awhile. What a huge, junky, neglected mess. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
There were many pot holes and lots of mud. The cable didn't work, we tried 2 others and finally got it to work. The Wifi was weak in our rig, but ok at office. On a positive note the girl in the office was very helpful. If it where dry it might be a little better. I would look for a different park if going through here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Campground is very run down. Sites have large potholes. You have to pay for showers and they aren't very clean. Wifi worked well in our camper. Not too many other options in town. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We found this park to be an excellent choice, others in town are more like car parks, this campsite looks and feels very natural, with all the trees surrounding the area we were surprised how well the Wi-Fi worked, good strong signal, staff are very friendly, we had plenty of room in our 30ft motor home, if passing this campsite again we will ensure to make it our stopover. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Our second choice in Fort Nelson, the first was full. Older CG with dirt and gravel sites, kind of run down. Just here overnight. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The family that owns this park also owns Northern Lights. Northern Lights appears to be getting the upkeep. Ok for one night. Bathrooms are old and charge for showers. No wifi when we were there. Looks like it could be a mud bowl in the rain. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Adequate park, but nothing special. Wifi might reach a few sites close to the office, but not the majority of the park. Most sites have trees. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Cable TV ($2 extra) available at some sites, but did not work at our site. WIFI usable (using it for this review), but sometimes cuts out. There is a restaurant/saloon on site open Wednesday to Sunday. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The wife and I disagree. She likes it more than I . I would give it a very low ranking and she would give it credit for Internet. WiFi is good at our site though we were told we should go to the laundry to get it, (which she did) if it is available, it is supposed to be iffy. There are several dogs running loose so we are not comfortable having our dog outside (supervised ) on a leash. "Beater Rigs" all over the place. The cable TV is poor, sound good, picture shot. We were there for overnight and were able to keep our tow vehicle hooked up on our big rig. The feeling is the park is not being maintained. Compared to other parks reviewed on this internet site, for this town, this was first choice on our list however, there were not a lot of choices in this town. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A nice park for an overnight; looked to be the best in town. Some grass between most sites, free WiFi near the office, CATV at some sites, RV wash $2 for 5 minutes. Located right next to the museum which has some interesting memorabilia. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Old and rundown, but that doesn't keep them from raising their rates each year. We have stayed here 3 or 4 times, and each time I swear not to do it again, but... This time - in mid-May - the water lines and sewer lines were just beginning to thaw, revealing several bursted and broken lines. Raw sewage was all around the first site assigned to us. We moved to another site and reported the mess to the manager, who replied "the maintenance people have been notified". We will not stop there this year! We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a beautiful park, full of trees, well kept grounds. Free Wi-Fi Internet and good cable TV. Friendly staff. I highly recommend. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
