The seacan tiny cabin was cozy, warm, and thoughtfully set up with everything you could need, including slippers, robes, tea and coffee, snacks, and comfortable linens. The covered outdoor BBQ area and firepit were great for relaxing, and the bathroom was a short walk away and always clean, warm, and comfortable. Being able to buy dry firewood with kindling on site was also a big plus. I have been coming here for years for van and tent camping, and trying one of their new tiny cabins was a great experience. I have stayed at much more expensive cabins in the area, and none compare to the level of care and attention to detail at MTN Fun. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it.

Beware: bad management practices! Take note of the strict campground rules to get a tone of the…read moremanagement style and beware that unstated rules may lead to a campsite reservation cancellation with no refund offered as it did to us this holiday weekend. The campground host obviously has anger issues and escalated a situation where we were moving campsites in the middle of a long weekend where we had to book 2 separate sites to stay the full amount of time we wanted. When we moved our tent to the new site in the morning after a very friendly exchange with the family leaving the site, the host took the time to remove our tent, resell our site and cancelled the rest of our weekend without a refund. Not sure if he's just being greedy to take double booking when he can or if he is just aggressively making up rules that don't make any sense. He cited that it was an extremely busy weekend and he didn't have time to accommodate our request to move our tent earlier in the day, yet he then took the time to move our tent. Not fun having your weekend uprooted by someone like this. Save yourself the risk and find one of many other camping locations in Squamish. You'll be driving to your recreation activities anyway as this location has nothing special to offer in terms of location. MTB Stressed-out Basecamp. I wonder what other unspoken rules folks have been burned by with this guy? Cam is the worst!

I can see why Cypress Mountain is known as one of the best snowshoeing destinations in Vancouver…read more There are many beautiful trails to choose from in the daytime and they offer a nice brightly lit evening snowshoe experience too. Follow the signage to "Nordic" and that's the area with ticket office and rentals for cross country skiing and snowshoeing fun! It has a diverse range of trails suitable for beginners and experienced hikers. Snowshoe rentals are available till 3:30pm for day time snowshoeing and just take note to return rentals by 4:30pm as they start night time tickets and rentals at 5pm. If you didn't pack foods, it's quite easy to grab a drink or a bite at their Nordic Cafe or at the Lodge. Five stars for their guest services - i was very impressed by the genuine effort they put in to help locate lost item for guests. Cypress is roughly 30-minute drive from downtown Vancouver (check Google map for traffic congestion or delays) and about 10 to 15 minutes drive from West Vancouver and North Vancouver.

The office reached out and asked if we were able to schedule a few days later to best allow for a great lesson. A couple days later we had a fantastic kiteboarding lesson with Tom. He was extremely knowledgeable, patient, and walked us through the fundamentals, and we had a blast. He even got the beginner in our group up on the board on the first day! Thanks Tom and Squamish Watersports!

Do not stay at Paradise Valley Campground near Whistler/Squamish. We don't travel with reservations…read moreand having been in Alaska and on the Cassier Hwy. we didn't have internet service. We arrived at this park and were thankful they could get us in to their overflow lot. My husband paid for 3 nights at $63 per night. After paying, asked about generator hours. He was told no generator use allowed. We should have asked for our money back then. But, we have a good solar set up and $1000 worth of batteries. So he said ok. After one night, we knew it wouldn't work because of thick tree coverage. Long story short the manager Francine would not refund 2 nights. We never received anything in writing nor were we told that they didn't do refunds. Very poor policy and never explained Bad customer service!

We were wondering what we can do in Squamish. We came to the Visitor Information to find out more…read more We spoke to the lady working there and she was somewhat clueless. I think she was trying her best but because she lived in the area, many of the things that she can do everyday will not be considered as tourist things/spots. There is a Squamish themed gift shop in the Visitor Information center but the items for sale wasn't that much special or unique other than having the Squamish logo on it. Along the wall outside of the gift shop is a list of things to do brochure. Many of them directed visitors to visit Whistler instead. I believe when thinking of travelling or going somewhere, Whistler comes to mind and not Squamish.

We arrived just under an hour before the 6:40 pm ferry on Sunday and ended up being one of the first cars in line, which was great! While you're waiting for the ferry to arrive, you can head over to the beach and enjoy the beautiful BC views. There are also a couple of places where you can grab a bite to eat, so you don't have to wait in the long ferry line for White Spot! I personally love spending my ferry rides out on the deck so I can take in all the amazing scenery. Although BC Ferries isn't perfect, the views make it all well worth it!

We stayed at this campground for $29 per night, with an additional fee for a second vehicle,…read morebringing the total to $41, which we put into an envelope and deposited at the site. We chose a double site, which was ideal, and appreciated that it operated on a first-come, first-served basis. Many people book online but often do not cancel if they are no-shows. Although the website showed no availability, there were plenty of empty sites when we arrived. The bathrooms are clean and spacious, which was a plus. However, the amenities need improvement. The power outlets did not work, the taps only provided cold water, and the showers never got truly hot. The water was lukewarm at best. Since it was cold and rainy during our stay, a hot shower would have made a big difference. The showers operate on a push-button system, delivering water in short 10-second bursts, which was frustrating. The windows are left open, making the bathroom area uncomfortably cold. Toilet seat was like a sheet of ice in the morning. On the positive side, the campground has a large number of sites and is conveniently close to the beach.

A nice, well maintained provincial park for camping, with a busy day-use area…read more This beautiful nature setting is just minutes out of Sechelt. The campsites are a good size, with newly painted picnic tables that are in excellent shape. I expected the camping area to be busier, so we made reservations, however, it wasn't even half full when we arrived for weekend camping. We had to share the communal fire pit (with convenient benches in place around the outside) the first evening, but had it to ourselves the second evening. We didn't have any problems with sharing, since the clean air bylaw is the reason, plus the park provides the wood. I was shocked (and then happy I hadn't bought any in town) when we realized the wood was brought over each day by the PFOs (Park Facility Operators). The PFOs were friendly, and helped us to avoid an extra car fee but letting us know the other vehicle could just park across the road from the park on the highway. Score. We had a double site, which was super awesome for our needs, but you definitely wouldn't want to be in one if you didn't know the people on the other side. This campground is suitable for camping wusses, since there are showers and real flush toilets available. Otherwise, use the outhouses and the cold water. The water from the taps available around the site is wonderful. There is no need to boil it or to buy water. The park is on the municipal system. Those wanting to go down to the water should realize that the day-use area does get very busy, and seems to be a popular destination for families and gatherings with ankle-biters. Our attempts to find non-tarp covered shelter from the rain at the covered tables were thwarted by a child's birthday party. A sunny day following meant the beach was also packed, and tour groups with kayaks were setting up. There is a nice, short trail through the trees and over a creek to get to the estuary. This area is peaceful, and if you look closely you can see salmon fry seeking shelter in the back eddies of the river. The beach seems to be a favourite for clam diggers, as well. I had a quick chat with a friendly BC Parks ranger on my way out of the day-use area.
