• Capilano River RV Park

    August 20, 2023 in Canada ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

    A little about our campsite. We are camping in North Vancouver beside the Capilano River and to the west of the Lions Gate Bridge. The campsite is neat, as it is right in the city, but feels very private since it's treed in. We can hear the sounds of the traffic, especially on the bridge through the night, but we are used to listening to white noise, so I think it's actually helping the kids sleep.
    The campsite closes down at 11pm and is surrounded by an 8ft fence, so it feels very secure. There is a park, a pool, a jacuzzi, laundry services, and a lounge (not a drinking lounge, just a hangout spot).
    There are some neat campsites here, clearly from people who have very long stays.
    I think one of the most interesting things we have seen here is 2 massive motorhome rigs. They almost look like garbage trucks. But when I looked it up on Google to research what it was, I learned you could buy one for yourself for a cool $1.85 million. Actually, I only found one for sale online. It is used, located in Europe, and would cost 1.94 million CAD. These seem like a luxury to travel in, especially if you are planning on taking them through some tough terrain.
    The kids have enjoyed the pool and the park a lot. Atlas especially loves hearing the airplanes and the helicopters flying through the air.
