Policies & Guidelines for a Comfortable Stay
At MTN Fun Basecamp, check-in is simple — no waiting at a front desk. Before you arrive, you'll receive an email with your site details, gate access, and a short self-serve check-in form. When you get here, head straight to your site. Our team is on the property throughout the day and you'll usually see us not long after you arrive — we like to say hello and make sure you're settled in.
We strongly recommend booking at least 48 hours in advance, particularly during peak season (May–September) when availability is limited. Same-day and last-minute bookings are difficult for us to accommodate — if you need a site urgently, use our contact form and we'll do our best, but we cannot guarantee availability or a response in time.
Arrival hours: 2:00 PM – 8:00 PM. Guests must arrive between 2:00 PM and 8:00 PM on their check-in date. Arrivals outside of this window are not permitted. If you anticipate arriving after 8:00 PM, you must notify us by email before 8:00 PM on your check-in date — we will do our best to accommodate late arrivals when notified in advance. Guests who have not arrived or been in contact by 8:00 PM may have their booking cancelled and their site reassigned without notice. If your booking is forfeited under these circumstances, our standard cancellation policy applies and no additional refund is guaranteed.
- —Everyone on the property must be registered on the booking.
- —Each site is for one continuous travel group only. Rotating guests are not allowed.
- —Amplified sound and large gatherings are not permitted at any time.
- —RV sites are for self-contained RVs only, with strict occupancy limits.
- —Vehicle numbers and parking are limited and enforced.
- —Smoking and vaping are permitted on your own campsite only. See our full smoking policy below.
- —Dogs are welcome on leash. Maximum 2 dogs per site.
- —Children must be supervised by a responsible adult at all times.
- —Day visitors must be arranged in advance. See our day visitor policy below.
If your plans involve visitors, rotating guests, or large gatherings, MTN Fun Basecamp may not be the right fit. We aim to be upfront about this.
All bookings are paid in full at the time of booking. Because MTN Fun Basecamp is a small campground with a limited number of sites, longer reservations hold a significant portion of our availability. Reservations are intended for recreational travel stays only — bookings made as part of a short-term rental or housing arrangement at another property are not permitted.
- —No refunds for early departures or shortened stays.
- —Date changes are not offered — all changes are handled as cancel and rebook, subject to availability.
- —If the campground is closed due to wildfire, evacuation, extreme weather, or government order: full refund for unused nights. Timing may be delayed.
- —If the campground remains open, this policy applies regardless of weather, smoke, air quality, or road conditions.
Lodge suites and cabins are booked through Airbnb only and follow Airbnb's cancellation policies — not the policy above.
Late check-outs may incur fees. Check-out instructions are sent by email before your departure.
MTN Fun Basecamp is a gated property. The gate limits overnight vehicle traffic and maintains a safe, quiet environment for all guests.
The gate is closed from 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM. No vehicle entry or exit during these hours — no exceptions. Guests may walk in and out freely at any time.
If you arrive after the gate closes, you will not be able to drive in. Public parking outside the gate is not guaranteed. Plan to arrive before 10:00 PM.
- —Each site includes a fixed vehicle allowance listed on your booking. No extra vehicles, no overflow.
- —All vehicles must fit entirely within your assigned campsite.
- —Vehicles must remain parked on your site except when entering or leaving the property.
- —Driving around the campground for any other reason is not permitted.
- —No parking in front of washrooms, near charging stations, along the front road, or in roadways.
- —Speed limit is 10 km/h throughout the property at all times. Excessive vehicle idling is not permitted — BC law prohibits idling for more than 3 minutes. Loud or diesel vehicles must not idle at all.
- —Unauthorized or improperly parked vehicles may be towed at owner's expense.
- —Limited overflow parking is available outside the gate through Honk — this is not guaranteed and should not be relied upon for extra vehicles. All additional vehicles beyond your site allowance are the guest's responsibility to park off-property.
Have an accessibility-related parking need? Contact us in advance to request an accessibility parking pass.
Electric dirt bikes (including Sur-Ron), gas dirt bikes, ATVs/UTVs, and snowmobiles may not be unloaded, started, ridden, or operated anywhere on the property. These must remain secured on trailers or tow vehicles at all times.
MTN Fun Basecamp is a recreation-focused vacation campground. Our sites are designed for personal recreational vehicles and camping — not temporary worker accommodation or work-related stays.

MTN Fun Basecamp welcomes groups, but all multi-site bookings must be arranged with us directly before booking. Self-booking more than one site without prior discussion is not permitted.

Firewood is available for purchase daily from approximately 2:00 PM and is delivered directly to your site. We check in with guests regularly throughout the day and are happy to sort you out with firewood at that time.
We recommend sorting it out early in the evening as availability and hours vary — we can't always guarantee firewood later on.
MTN Fun Basecamp is a relaxed, welcoming place for families. We don't have designated play areas or traffic-free zones — our roads are shared with vehicles and guests coming and going. Kids are welcome to enjoy themselves, but younger children should be supervised at all times. Please keep bikes and play off the main roads and away from other guests' sites. A child is any guest under 18.
Dryden Creek is a protected salmon estuary. Do not disturb the creek bed, banks, or vegetation. No washing of any kind in the creek. No soap, detergents, rock moving, or damming. Violations may result in removal without refund.
DeBeck's Hill above the property is steep and unstable — loose rocks can fall into the sites below at any time. It is safe to camp near but climbing on or disturbing the rock face is strictly off-limits. Rocky and forested areas outside campsite boundaries may not be entered.
Guests are welcome to walk the campground's common roads and areas. Please be mindful that this is an active vacation campground — do not enter or linger on other guests' campsites, occupied or empty, and avoid any conduct that would disturb guests enjoying their stay.
Call 911 immediately in an emergency. Follow all instructions from staff or emergency authorities during evacuations. Guests stay at their own risk and are responsible for their safety and belongings. MTN Fun Basecamp is not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged property.
We genuinely dislike issuing fines and do everything we can to avoid it. If you have a question about a policy or think your situation might need an exception, just talk to us — we're reasonable people and if there's a way to work something out, we will. These fees exist for the rare cases where someone's behaviour is affecting the experience of other guests. They're here to protect your stay as much as anyone else's.
