Our Family's Annual Summer Camping
Summer wouldn't be complete without our annual camping trek to Squamish. Ever since we've discovered Paradise Valley Campground three summers ago, we just find ourselves coming back every year!
The campground is owned and managed by a very nice couple - Lynn and Pat - who are fast becoming very dear to us. It's always nice to come back each time and be able to see the familiar surroundings, but at the same time, discover new stuff in the campground (or any new additions they might have).

They were fully booked on the Labor Day long weekend!

This was our backyard for four days - a living forest.
Our lot was so huge, we could play badminton in it!
There were a lot of hiking trails within the 28-acre campground, so many things to explore!
The campground is bordered by Cheakamus River.

Wanna hike to Brohm Lake? No problem! There is a direct hiking route from the campground :)
Brohm Lake is mostly accessed from Highway 99. Thompson Trail, although the shortest hike, has steep section. Your choice: go all the way around, or choose the shortest route.
We chose the shortest route. Here we are at the steep section, climbing rocks. (Yup, that's my 5-year old at the foreground.)
Painted arrows show which way to go.
If you could get past your fear of heights, or paranoia about rocks getting dislodged - the hike is actually fun. My 5-year old never complained at all!
The view from above is really beautiful!
The campground has a tack shop that sells their exclusive soaps, insect repellent, lotion, etc. They also sell snacks, smores kit, candies - and ICE CREAM! Yum!
Something that's unique to Paradise Valley Campground is the stone painting activity that everyone enjoys. Get free paints from the office and paint your heart out on stones you see anywhere in the campground. Let out the frustrated painter in you and leave a memento of your visit.
