Creature comforts
Enjoy the comforts of home at some sites—including flush toilets, showers, and a kitchen.
I sold a business in Toronto and moved West in 1990 and drove all over North America looking for a new place to settle and raise a family. While camping in the Kootenay's I found this oasis and bought it. I have raised a family living totally off the grid since and love it. The water here is so clean and and the air is so fresh is why I stay. The night sky is so hard to explain it has to be seen to believe. Come check it out and you will agree. Learn more about this land: Enjoy camping on our 25-acre property just outside of Cranbrook, BC! We have multiple spots to choose from. You can camp beside the creek, in an open field, or up high with beautiful views of the valley. It all depends on your preferences and the privacy that you desire. We welcome tent and RV campers. If you're bringing an RV, there are sites that do not require levelling and we can accommodate vehicles up to 75ft in length. Bring your animals - there are a lot of great spaces for them to play! Our yard is equipped for horseback riding with a horse ring and stable.  The property is a great step-off point for ATV, dirt bikes, horseback and hiking adventures.  Potable water, toilet, picnic table, wifi and showers are available. Pets welcome, campfires permitted.  We are a 15-20 minute drive to Cranbrook. As the basecamp of the Kootenay Rockies, Cranbrook has it all - From all the trails one can dream of to multiple award-winning golf courses all within a 20-minute drive out of town, Cranbrook is an outdoor enthusiast's paradise. PLEASE USE GOOGLE MAPS FOR CORRECT DIRECTIONS I look forward to hosting you!

Luxury Camping in a lovely place
We started our trip to Canada by spending one evening here. What a beautiful experience ! Cornelius made sure we were missing nothing. We set our camp close to the creek. We had access to restrooms and hot shower inside the house with also a location to wash our dishes. This is all you can dream when camping ! Can only recommend that place to anyone. South Road was fun to drive. This is a dirt road :-) Thanks for everything

Shangri La
This was a beautiful spot to camp! Cornelius sent clear directions & the grass was freshly mowed for us to easily pitch our tents. There was lots of room for the dogs & the creek was wonderful. Would highly recommend!

Magical little oasis
This was the most peaceful and serene camping spot I’ve ever stayed at. When we arrived, Cornelius had set up a hammock and mowed the lawn before our arrival. The sound of the creek can be heard from you tent and the fire pit was loads big! We bought some eggs and firewood and man did they provide! I think we got something like 18 eggs and a pile of firewood to keep a boat running! Don’t debate staying here it is magical

Great overnight!
This place was so beautiful! So many campsites right along the creek, and Cornelius was very accommodating and communicative. We much appreciated having access to a shower after 4 days of roughing it with primitive camping up in Jasper. We were able to easily get our mid size truck and 10 foot teardrop trailer down the hill to park near the creek. We will definitely recommend this spot to anyone coming thru Cranbrook!

Murphys Peaceful Cranbrook Campsite
Off roading and no power
Your drive leaving Cranbrook to head to the site consists of 14kms of washboard gravel, not a huge problem just annoying. Once you make it to His property he guides you to a site you want which all are full off-roading to get to. It’s not a pleasant journey to the sites though once at them they are nice. Not every site has a picnic table and the fire pits are a little small. And a big one *only one powered site* It’s not great heading to a place advertising power and there is none, plus the power is spotty because he runs solar. I wouldn’t personally recommend this to anyone unless they are fine with off-road off grid camping.

Murphys Peaceful Cranbrook Campsite
Murphy went above and beyond to be an excellent host. He greeted us right on arrival and showed us to our campsite (which was absolutely perfect). Lots of privacy and right beside a creek. The second day, we decided to go for a hike, but we took the wrong route home, and ended up miles away from our car, and wouldn't make it back in daylight. Murphy was SO kind and picked us up and drove us to our car. I can't recommend this place enough and Murphy is an amazing host.
