Camping reservations opening soon at Golden Ears Park
Golden Ears Park, a cherished camping destination in British Columbia, will open for reservations on March 19, 2025, after extensive repairs from storm damage incurred during the October 2024 floods. Minister of Environment and Parks, Tamara Davidson, emphasized the park's significance for families and the community, ensuring visitor safety was the priority during restoration. Reservations will be available for three campgrounds—Gold Creek, Alouette, and North Beach—starting on specified dates for arrivals. Local leaders, including Maple Ridge Mayor Dan Ruimy, praised the restoration efforts, highlighting the economic benefits of the park to local businesses that attract over a million visitors annually. While access to the park is expected to be fully restored by March 17, visitors should anticipate some traffic delays due to ongoing road work.
The park features extensive recreational options, including hiking and horseback riding, but many trails remain closed or partially open. For the latest information on campground reservations and park conditions, visitors are encouraged to check the official park website. Golden Ears Park's reopening marks a significant step in restoring local tourism and outdoor recreation opportunities.
