Reservations for camping at Golden Ears Provincial Park near Maple Ridge have been delayed due to extensive repairs needed on the Golden Ears Parkway. The parkway, which provides access to all three campgrounds in the park, suffered severe damage from an atmospheric river event in October. While the park is open for pedestrian access, vehicle access is currently limited to the main corral parking area. BC Environment and Parks Minister Tamara Davidson stated that visitor safety is the priority and that BC Parks is working with engineers to assess and repair the roadway. There is no set timeline for the completion of the repairs or the reopening of the park.
The 2025 spring camping season is coming up, with online reservations opening this week for many campgrounds – but not for Golden Ears Provincial Park.
BC Environment and Parks Minister Tamara Davidson said on Monday that visitor safety is the priority, and BC Parks is working with engineers to assess and repair the roadway. Visitors are welcome to walk into the park via trails, however they are requested to comply with closure signage erected in the park, and use caution, as unmarked hazards may exist.
