'Ksan Campground

Good basecamp to visit First Nation sites and Old Hazelton. Scenery was beautiful, spaces were separated and free firewood! The native demonstration village next door was unfortunately closed, but we still went to visit the old totem poles. Visitor center in (New) Hazelton was great! Decent grocery store very close by.

We stayed here 8/11/22.

It is a bit off the beaten path. We arrived without a reservation, but easily got a dry site along the river. As you enter the camping area after the office, to the right are a couple rows of full hook up sites, these were all taken by mostly long term RV's. Then there is a row of back in sites and then some river view sites along the river. Entering on the left were sites more of the loop style, offering more privacy.

Nearly all the back in sites were up on a flat narrow berm with slopes on each side of the pad. What made it even more difficult to back in, was the fact the road was narrow. In some cases, it would be better to just pull in instead of backing in. Some of these sites also had obstacles such as bushes or overhead branches adding to the already difficult situation. We had one such site and after an attempt or two we returned to the office to select a site that worked great for us (site 39). We so much perfer that style, let us pick the site and report back to pay!

Most sites had a picnic table and fire pit and lots of trash cans through out the campground. There are pit toilets and a tired building with flush toilets, showers for a loonie, one washer and one dryer. The wifi was slow and only really worked while sitting on the porch of the office. The lawn was mowed. The dirt trail by site 39 leads to old town, a fun place to walk around. If in season, the area next to site 39 had raspberries, yum!

Ksan Historical Village and Museum are next door with long houses and Totem Poles.

No rules are posted or given, not necessarily a bad thing, but some rules are good to know.
