Story

THE LOG CABIN , OFFICE, AT THE CASSIAR R.V. PARK WAS BUILT IN 1934 FROM LOGS GROWING ON THE PROPERTY AT THAT TIME. THE ROAD LEADING TO THE PARK IS NAMED AFTER THE LADY WHO FIRST SETTLED HERE DURING THE GREAT DEPRESSION ,MRS. BARCALOW . MANY PEOPLE CAME TO THIS VALLEY FROM LARGER TOWNS TO PLACES LIKE THIS WHERE THEY COULD GROW GARDENS TO SUPPORT THEMSELVES DURING THOSE ROUGH TIMES. THE CABIN WAS BUILT BY ROY DOLL , TONY HOBENSHIELD , AND LORNE ELSWORTH , ALL EARLY LOCAL RESIDENTS. OVER THE YEARS THE PROPERTY CHANGED HANDS AND WAS THE HOME TO MANY FAMLIES. THE LAST PEOPLE TO OPERATE THE PROPERTY AS A DAIRY AND BEEF CATTLE FARM WERE THE APPS FAMILY FROM CHILLIWACK B.C. THEY EVENTUALLY RETIRED AND SOLD THE PROPERTY TO BILL STRANGE FROM WASHINGTON STATE AND HE TURNED THE FARM INTO THE CASSIAR R.V. PARK DURING THE LATE 1970S . THE PARK IS CURRENTLY OWNED BY MARK AND KAREN HALVORSEN , FORMER KITWANGA RESIDENTS WHO NOW RESIDE IN HINTON ALBERTA.
THE PARK IS KNOWN AS THE OASIS OF THE NORTH BECAUSE OF THE LUSH SURROUNDINGS , TREES , GRASS AND FLOWERS . THE ENTIRE PROPERTY COVERS 160 ACRES , MUCH OF IT FOREST. THERE IS A TRAIL FROM THE PARK AREA TO THE KITWANGA RIVER AND SALMON COUNTING STATION, WHERE DURING JULY , AUGUST , AND SEPTEMBER YOU CAN SEE THE SALMON MIGRATING UPSTREAM , IN LARGE NUMBERS. THERE IS ALSO A WALKING TRAIL WHICH LEADS AROUND OUR SMALL COMMUNITY AND INTIME MORE TRAILS WILL BE DEVELOPED THROGH THE WOODLANDS AROUND THE PARK.
