Chilliwack Campground Review || Boondocking at Tamihi Creek Campground

Today we want to show you another budget-friendly campground we found in the Fraser Valley of British Columbia, Canada. It's called Tamahai Campground and we really love it because it has sites close to the river like ours. You might even be able to hear the river right now. It's super clean and just really well kept. The hosts do a great job and it's nice and close to our house. We don't have to go very far and all of a sudden we're out in this. Tamahai Creek Campground is found on Chilliwack Lake Road just outside of Chilliwack, BC. It's a 1.5 hour drive east of Vancouver not far from Cultus Lake. The campground is split into two sections east and west. Tamahai East is a small open 17 site lot whereas Tamahai West is an 88 site mostly forested campground. All sites are back in only. These recreation sites are designed for dry camping. They have outhouses and firewood for sale but there are no hookups, running water or sanitation so come prepared. Sites are reasonably priced at $17 a night for a single site at the time of filming this video. They also have double and triple sites available for groups. We'll be sure to include the website in the description below for more details. We have we've just arrived at the campsite and there's some people with ATVs for sure. They're pretty noisy but looks like a beautiful campsite. Wasn't too hard to back into. We're here on our site in Tamahai Campground and so far first impressions are great. We've got the sound of the river, got a nice picnic table, fire pit, pretty decently sized site. Yeah real nice so far. So we're just going for a little walk around the campground gonna see some of the other sites. This one's huge. Okay so we're just kind of scoping out some other sites just to see you know which ones we might like to come back to or which ones look really promising and we've come across this one. It's site number 89 and it's you can see it's pretty wide it looks relatively level and it's I don't know it's pretty private. We're really liking the looks of this one. It's got some nice sun too which is really nice on like cooler days when we want to maximize that sun. Maybe not as much in the summer but in theory all those trees will have leaves on them so you'll still get some shade. So the overall vibe that we get here is that it's a pretty friendly place. I mean right now we are one of I think three or four campers in the whole park so we can't totally comment. Well there was a lot more when we first arrived. Yes there were more people and they seemed quite friendly and the camp hosts are incredibly friendly wonderful people so yeah it's it seems like a really nice family-friendly park. Yeah very clean very safe. So things to do here. Well it's right along the river so and it's right along the Trans Canada Trail which also runs along the river so lots of walking and exploring opportunities. Also fishing if you're into that. Now note you have to have a license which we don't have so we didn't go fishing but we saw people fishing and you can also go whitewater kayaking. Whitewater rafting too. Oh and whitewater. That's the whitewater rafting place down here. Lots of ATVing around so we heard a few of those so I don't know if that's a indication of what a busy weekend or a busy summer day would be like here. Yeah we've read that in some of the reviews that the ATVs can get a bit noisy at times. Yeah but within the park itself ATVs are only allowed to idle through so it's they're not like ripping past your sight but you can hear them in the distance on the road. Chilliwack is not too far from here it's like a 20 minute drive so you could go for a day in town if the weather happens to be you know not as ideal. Or if you forgot something you can have access to stores pretty quickly. And if you have kids they also have a little bit of a playground here with a seesaw and a swing. Oh and a horseshoe pit. Oh yes. Yeah so yeah it's a really nice get away from the city and I don't know we just really like it. The trail is really nice and the river the sound of the river is beautiful and yeah it's like very it's nice and rustic and natural but you don't have to go too far from the city. Samelle says there's a path behind the trailer. Let's go check it out. It's right through here. I think it links to the TransCanada. This is handy. Yeah which for those of you who don't know the TransCanada trail is a hiking trail that crosses all of Canada. Hence the name TransCanada Trail. Can we get down to the river? I was like what's that orange thing floating? It's their lure. Thank you. Let's sit on the beach. So we've spent about three nights here. We've had a really nice time. Very relaxing. Thumbs up from us. Yep we'll definitely come back. There's quite a few sites we've scoped out that we would want to try next time. So yeah definitely yeah.

I was waiting for you to start. I know I know.
