Edgewater Bar Campsite

The park was easy to find. Follow directions to Derby Reach Regional Park just off of Allard Crescent. There is pavement all the way until you arrive at the park. Signage is very good. Check in was efficient and friendly. The gate house is manned during business hours. After hours there is a Camp Host that can assist you if needed. The main gates close after hours so the park is very safe. The park rules are fairly basic except for the times when you are allowed to run a generator. FYI Reservations are required now. No longer first come First Served. Our site, 37, was a back in that was long enough for our Coach and Towed. It overlooked the Fraser River which was very nice. There is some traffic on the river including tugs moving barges etc. On the opposite shore lies a busy Railway. You can hear the diesel engines from the park but it is not too loud. There are NO SERVICES at the campsites. There are potable water spigots in the park. There are pit toilets as well as trash and recycling bins. There is NO SANI DUMP. There is no Wifi thus you will need to provide your own internet service. We did find a few OTA TV channels. Satellite might be difficult because of the trees if you don’t have a portable dish. We did not use the Pit Toilets but we checked and found them clean. The Fort to Fort trail is accessible. Distancing is very reasonable for an urban park. Some sites have a vegetation barrier Each site has a table and most have a fire pit. Our site was flat and level. Overall the park was pretty and well manicured. We only found one minor drawback for this park. The site surface is covered with small pea gravel. When wet, this stuck to our dags paws and she brought it inside for us. Overall, we found this park to be a pleasant, well run urban Campground. We paid $22.00 per night including our seniors discount and we feel we received good very good value. We will be back if in the area again.

Great place to relax with friends and family and do some BBQ

Nicely maintained site right on the river which is lovely. My main comment is that I was hardly able to sleep due to the noise. There is a train stop across the river as well as many large barges that go by all night. So my main take is make sure to bring some ear plugs if you’re sensitive.

Super recommend this spot! Fun, beautiful and clean! Go early but it gets packed when the weather is good!

Definitely a spot to camp. Staff are friendly. It's a first come first serve basis, and seems to be a popular spot. Just under 40 sites. All perfectly maintained, with firepit and picnic table. All along the Fraser River. Tent, RV and Camper friendly. The sound of the water is relaxing with the occasional fish jumping. And the occasional nice boat floats by. 32-38 have more tree cover and offer more privacy then the others. Pictures are from Site 36.

This is a very popular place, and one of the few camping spots close to vancouver. It’s well maintained, clean, and feels very safe. There are nice trails nearby. And the sites are right on the Fraser. Spots are small, close together, and not very private. If you’re tenting it - be warned - it seems like few sites have trees that you could hang a tarp from, and there are no tarp posts. I’d recommend it for someone with a van, but it seems less ideal for tent camping. Park staff are very diligent about monitoring the premises and ensuring all the rules are followed. Booking sites is very competitive - if you’re not fast you’re probably out of luck. And front gate staff are very enthusiastic about explaining the rationale behind the $500 fine that you could get if you book and don’t spend the night.

Fantastic camping experience, once I was given some help by other campers in the area to set up, as it was pouring rain! Beautiful, pristine area with rocky beaches to walk along or watch the beauty of the stars, over Fraser River. Fellow campers were wonderful and all staff very helpful! Krista assisted me in blowing up my air mattress and staff could be seen throughout cleaning, patrolling and in general making this trip a memorable one!

No electricity, no Sani site hook up, no water site hook up. No big deal. Small quantity of sites, each one on the river. Freindly and helpful staff. Just bring the sunshine.

It’s a little wet this time of year. Rivers high from the freshet melt.

Quiet and right on the river. Adjacent to Derby Reach park, its plain but a nice spot for fisherman or to just have a campfire and watch the sunset.
