What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Rainey Creek Trail is a charming, well-located municipal campground offering a peaceful creekside experience at a reasonable price. Visitors appreciate the proximity to Stewart's amenities and the unique opportunity to see salmon. While generally clean and friendly, some reviews note inconsistent camp host availability and minor maintenance needs.
"Quaint municipal campground located right in the town of Stewart. Prices were reasonable and the sites are a decent size. We tented with three small tents and five adults. The site we had was big enough for all three tents.
The bathrooms were very clean and showers were included in the nightly fee which was great. We saw Pink Salmon swimming up river in Rainey Creek right behind our campsite. Very cool!"

"Quiet, a few blocks from town, and very reasonable! Lovely old growth trees and a creek at the foot of a mountain to camp by. We walked to the small grocery and bakery. Clean bath house. Our second time there and we stayed most of the summer while most were only two days. Rob is great!"
Roberta Arsenault
"Beautifully located campsite, with lots of greenery and trees. Nice, private sites for RVs. Only electricity, no sewage or fresh water connection. Facilities are ok, the campsite is very moderately priced: 40 CAD for 2 per night. Very friendly hostess that shared a lot of useful information upon arrival. Town center is within walking distance so we got to enjoy the lovely Mexican restaurant on her advise!"
