Best time to visit Golden Ears Provincial Park

Late June through early September offers the warmest, driest weather, open swim beaches, and full canoe and kayak rentals at South Beach. During the summer, Golden Ears is extremely popular and campgrounds fill most weekends, so midweek arrivals are best for RVers seeking quieter sites. May and mid-September to mid-October are good shoulder-season windows with cooler temperatures, fewer crowds, and easier site availability, though rain is more frequent. Winter visits bring heavy rain at lower elevations and deep snow in the alpine.

  • Golden Ears Trail to Panorama Ridge Strenuous
    RV parking available

    The Golden Ears Trail is a strenuous alpine route to the twin peaks that give the park its name and is best tackled as an overnight trip. The climb is accessed from the West Canyon parking lot via the West Canyon-Golden Ears Trail; this 12 km trail has an elevation change of 1,500 m, a suggested one-way time of seven hours, and the round trip is an overnight expedition for all but the fittest. Campsites are available at Alder Flats and Panorama Ridge. bcparks.ca/golden-ears-park/

  • Horseback Riding on Park Trails Moderate
    RV parking available

    Golden Ears has an extensive equestrian trail network winding through the Alouette Valley forests. The extensive system of trails within the park provides an excellent opportunity for hiking and horseback riding. Dedicated horse staging areas make it a destination for riders traveling with trailers. bcparks.ca/golden-ears-park/

  • Fishing on Alouette Lake Easy
    RV parking available

    Alouette Lake offers freshwater fishing for kokanee, rainbow trout, and cutthroat trout from shore or boat. Alouette Lake is a popular spot for swimming, windsurfing, water-skiing, canoeing, boating and fishing. A valid BC freshwater fishing licence is required. bcparks.ca/golden-ears-park/

  • Marine-Accessible Boat-In Camping Moderate
    RV parking available

    Paddlers can extend their trip with boat-in camping on the shores of Alouette Lake. Canoeing and kayaking are very popular on Alouette Lake, and Golden Ears Park also offers campsites that are only accessible via water. RVers can base at a frontcountry campground and day-trip to these sites by kayak or canoe. bcparks.ca/golden-ears-park/

  • West Canyon Trail Moderate
    RV parking available

    The West Canyon Trail follows Gold Creek through dense coastal forest and links to longer routes up to Panorama Ridge. The trailhead parking area is smaller than Gold Creek, so arrive early in peak season. There is designated space for 55 vehicles at West Canyon trailhead. bcparks.ca/reservations/day-use-passes/

We had a fantastic experience renting an RV from David at RV Easy. From start to finish, the process was smooth, professional, and stress-free. The delivery was right on time, and David took the time to thoroughly walk us through the trailer, explaining how everything worked and reviewing any pre-existing wear or damage. Throughout our trip, he was quick to respond to any questions we had and even came out promptly to help us with an issue we couldn't figure out ourselves. The pickup process was just as easy and hassle-free as the delivery. David was professional, knowledgeable, and clearly takes pride in providing excellent customer service. We felt completely confident both in his abilities and in the quality of the trailer we rented. I would highly recommend David to anyone considering an RV rental. We will definitely be renting from him again in the future!

david was a great host, very responsive with messages and flexible with pick up when our plans shifted. It was our first family camping trip with the kids and we had a wonderful weekend with the trailer. The kids loved the bunk beds!

How to get to Golden Ears Provincial Park

Access to the park is by vehicle via Dewdney Trunk Road through Maple Ridge; turn onto 232nd Street, then right onto Fern Crescent at the traffic circle and follow the road into the park. From downtown Vancouver, the drive is roughly 60 km and about one hour, while Abbotsford is about 45 minutes east. The campgrounds are approximately 11 km north of the park entrance on a paved but winding park road with some narrow sections, so RV drivers should take curves slowly and watch for cyclists. Vancouver International Airport (YVR) is the nearest major airport for fly-and-rent travelers, about 90 minutes away by road depending on traffic.
