For 3 nights at a 30 amp full hookup pull-thru site we paid about $45(CN) per night. There were no fees for pets or an extra vehicle.

Scenic Value – 4/5

The campground is nicely landscaped and park-like, with copses of trees and wide swaths of grassy meadow. The campground is surrounded by woodland and has views of forested hills. Park facilities look like an historic western town facade and boardwalk.

Location/Isolation – 4/5

The campground is conveniently located just off the Alaska Highway and is close to shopping and services in Fort Nelson. The campground is relaxing and park-like, but does get some road noise from the busy ALCAN – especially during the day.

Paws Friendliness – 3/5

The campground is pet friendly, but does not have an enclosed pet run or cleanup bag stations. The park is large enough for a decent walk with your pet.

Overall Rating – 4/5

Overall, the Triple G Hideaway RV Park is a nice and relaxing place to stay while travelling the Alaska-Canadian Highway. We enjoyed our stay here and would return another time.

Additional info

Internet access

We received a moderate 4G signal at this campground. Access was roaming, but did not cost extra with our Verizon Unlimited plan. High speed data usage throttled down after 500 Mb per device per day. Both the cellular hot-spot and the free campground WiFi worked well, but were slow.

Water Quality

The campground water tested hard – we added our water softener to the water filtration stack.

Nearby Amenities

Gas stations, grocery stores, restaurants, a visitor information center, and some automotive and RV services are available nearby in Fort Nelson. A wider range of shopping and services are available in Dawson Creek, Prince George, or Whitehorse – long drives away.
