Capilano River RV Park
$68 a night
The park sits on the land of the Squamish Nation community of Xwemélch'stn (Capilano IR 5), beside Burrard Inlet near the north end of the Lions Gate Bridge, with Park Royal next door. It sends drivers off the Trans-Canada Highway at Exit 14 for Capilano Road and warns against the Taylor Way exit because of height limits on the overpasses. The entrance clearance is 13 feet 6 inches. If you take Exit 13 by mistake, the office will talk you in by phone.
The park lists 205 RV sites on level concrete pads with a picnic table at each, and the hook-ups run from 15-amp power with water to 50-amp full service. Its 32 tent sites can't be booked and go first come, first served. Showers in the washrooms are free, and laundry and propane are on site. The outdoor pool is heated and the indoor whirlpool runs all year.
Winter rates run from 1 October 2026 to 30 April 2027, and the park offers discounted weekly rates and longer stays by application in that window. By the park's own count, the Horseshoe Bay ferry terminal is 10 minutes away and Whistler Blackcomb about 90 minutes up the highway.
RVs must be 2014 models or newer and carry a licence and insurance, and the manager decides on anything older. Summer stays top out at 14 days, and families with children can stay 14 days at most at any time of year. The park bans subletting and Airbnb on its sites, and the security gate stays down at night, so you wait for staff to let you in or out.
