Entry to the park was difficult due to road construction and trucks parked in the store parking lot. Getting a 40' MH and tow into the sight was a challenge. Some deep ruts due to recent rain. Some of the staff were not very customer oriented. Overnight only. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Choices are limited in Ft Nelson. Basic site in gravel lot, but expensive for what you get. The sites are behind the Blue Bell Motel. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
When in Fort Nelson, it's a toss-up between this gravel parking lot behind a gas station or the larger mud hole at the West End of town. Neither is someplace you would want to stay for a season, but both provide the basics. If I had to choose, I would stay at the West End Campground, only because they have a laundromat. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed only one night with a rally of big rigs. The facilities were okay; no landscaping, gravel roads that were tight to maneuver, very little room between sites. The entrance was a little difficult to find off the frontage road off the highway. There's a great pub across the highway with really good food. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We were very disappointed with this park. It was a gravel parking lot with spaces so close that it was extremely difficult to park. The WiFi did not work and none of the staff had a clue as to what was wrong. Bathrooms were clean, but already showing inadequate maintenance issues. The drainage is very poor and the interior roads and campsites become mud puddles when it is raining. We will never stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Adequate place to park for the night with hookups. They had a big laundry, and a well stocked convenience store. The RV area is in the back and the truck area is in the front, so no chance of truck noise or anything. They also had a big laundry, and plenty of elbow room. All the sites are satellite friendly, but have shade trees. The pull-throughs are large enough for any size BigRig and tow car. We are in 42' MH, towing a truck, and there is room for another toad back there! Gravel sites with big grass area between sites. Tables at each site, but no fire rings. We would stay here next time we are in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The family that owns this park also owns Northern Lights. Northern Lights appears to be getting the upkeep. Ok for one night. Bathrooms are old and charge for showers. No wifi when we were there. Looks like it could be a mud bowl in the rain. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Adequate park, but nothing special. Wifi might reach a few sites close to the office, but not the majority of the park. Most sites have trees. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a beautiful park, full of trees, well kept grounds. Free Wi-Fi Internet and good cable TV. Friendly staff. I highly recommend. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Our second choice in Fort Nelson, the first was full. Older CG with dirt and gravel sites, kind of run down. Just here overnight. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Cable TV ($2 extra) available at some sites, but did not work at our site. WIFI usable (using it for this review), but sometimes cuts out. There is a restaurant/saloon on site open Wednesday to Sunday. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The wife and I disagree. She likes it more than I . I would give it a very low ranking and she would give it credit for Internet. WiFi is good at our site though we were told we should go to the laundry to get it, (which she did) if it is available, it is supposed to be iffy. There are several dogs running loose so we are not comfortable having our dog outside (supervised ) on a leash. "Beater Rigs" all over the place. The cable TV is poor, sound good, picture shot. We were there for overnight and were able to keep our tow vehicle hooked up on our big rig. The feeling is the park is not being maintained. Compared to other parks reviewed on this internet site, for this town, this was first choice on our list however, there were not a lot of choices in this town. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A nice park for an overnight; looked to be the best in town. Some grass between most sites, free WiFi near the office, CATV at some sites, RV wash $2 for 5 minutes. Located right next to the museum which has some interesting memorabilia. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Old and rundown, but that doesn't keep them from raising their rates each year. We have stayed here 3 or 4 times, and each time I swear not to do it again, but... This time - in mid-May - the water lines and sewer lines were just beginning to thaw, revealing several bursted and broken lines. Raw sewage was all around the first site assigned to us. We moved to another site and reported the mess to the manager, who replied "the maintenance people have been notified". We will not stop there this year! We camped here in a Motorhome.
