Golden Riverfront Campground

Nicholson, British Columbia


25 RV Sites, 37 Tent Sites

Golden Riverfront Campground in Nicholson, British Columbia, offers 25 RV sites with water and electric on 30-amp service and 37 tent sites along the Columbia River, with rigs accepted to 60 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Cabins, a beach, and a pond sit at the edge of the Canadian Rockies, 20 kilometers south of Golden. Twenty-five sites carry water and electric on 30-amp in back-in and pull-through configurations, sized to 60 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables — note there are no sewer hookups at the sites, though a dump station is available. Thirty-seven tent sites make this a genuinely tent-friendly property, unusual among RV parks. Cabins serve guests without a rig. Laundry, restrooms, showers, firewood, and WiFi handle the practical side. Reservations can be made online, by email, or by phone, with full payment required at booking; online is preferred. The river setting carries the recreation. A beach and pond support swimming with inflatable water toys, and fishing, canoeing, and kayaking run from the property. Walking trails, a playground, pavilion, dog park, sports courts, and volleyball fill the grounds, with hiking and biking from camp and strong birding in the wetland and forest. The campground also operates as a wedding venue. Pets are welcome. Nicholson sits in the Columbia Valley, which serves as basecamp for the densest cluster of national parks in Canada — Yoho, Kootenay, Glacier, and Mount Revelstoke are all within about two hours via the Trans-Canada Highway, with Rogers Pass and the Kicking Horse Canyon close by. The campground runs the mountain park season. Summer is peak — reserve well ahead.
