Late June through early September offers the most reliable RV camping conditions, with warm, dry days, open highway passes, and full campground services including potable water and flush toilets. July and August are the peak tourism months in the Columbia Valley, so reservations are strongly recommended. May and mid to late September make good shoulder-season options for quieter sites and cooler hiking weather, though nights can be cold and some services may be reduced.

Best set-up trailer we have seen. Rory has thought of everything you could need. Everything works great, trailer is super spacious with the slide while still being quite light.

Communication should have been 6 stars. Best I’ve ever had! What a treat to have a fresh travel trailer delivered to our camping spot with everything ready. All we had to do was unload our food and clothing, lean back and relax. Great weekend! Thank you.

How to get to Dry Gulch Provincial Park
The park is located 4.5 km south of Radium Hot Springs off Highway 93/95 in British Columbia's Columbia Valley.

From Cranbrook, plan about 1.5 hours north on Highway 93/95, and from Vancouver allow 9 to 10 hours via Highways 1 and 95. The nearest major airport for fly-and-rent trips is Calgary International Airport (YYC).
