Tucked into a riverside setting at the confluence of two mountain creeks in Cherryville, BC, Gold Panner Campground immerses guests in a moss-covered cedar and fir forest, delivering a true back-to-nature atmosphere with its quiet, low-density layout of spacious sites offering natural privacy, authentic gold rush heritage via on-site gold panning, forested walking trails along the river through mature timber, dark skies perfect for campfires, and the soothing sound of moving water. This family-friendly, pet-friendly haven blends rustic character with practical comforts like flushing toilets, traditional outhouses, and hot showers, plus diverse lodging from full-service to no-service RV sites, walk-in and drive-up tent spots, rustic camping cabins, and fully equipped chalets and lodges. Nearby adventures abound, including gold panning, backcountry skiing, cat skiing, heli skiing, snowmobiling, hunting, dirt biking, off-roading, and foraging. Reserve your spot today and pan for gold in paradise!

Tucked among the trees, these sites offer a peaceful forest setting ideal for tenting or vehicle camping.
Sites 'No#' and 'A' enjoy the gentle sound of the nearby creek, creating a calm and relaxing atmosphere. Sites No#, A, C, and E back onto a steep embankment, giving them a more secluded feel and added privacy within the forest.
Sites B, D, F, G, and H are slightly less private as they back onto nearby RV and tent sites, but they remain beautifully situated beneath massive old-growth trees that provide shade, character, and a classic campground feel.
For those seeking true solitude, check out our hike-in sites (J/K/L) which are fully separated from the main campground.
