People looking to spend their weekends in the great outdoors now have more opportunities to do so close to home.

A new campground has opened at SilverStar Mountain.

The new Upper BX Campground, located approximately 2 kilometres from SilverStar’s village and near the Upper BX Trail, consists of 36 non-powered sites for tents, small trailers, and RV campers.

The four-season campground was built with financial assistance from the B.C. Destination Development Fund and will allow people to camp on the mountain throughout the year.

“The Upper BX Campground is a meaningful addition to SilverStar’s year-round offerings and a great example of how we’re creating more inclusive, flexible, and nature-connected experiences for visitors,” said Michael Benedek, executive director of Destination Silver Star.

“This campground adds value not just as an amenity, but as a long-term asset for the community and resort. We’re incredibly grateful for the support from the Province of British Columbia through the Destination Development Fund. This project would not have been possible without their investment in our vision.”

Outdoor enthusiasts looking to explore more of the nature in their own backyards can find more details about the Upper BX Campground at the SilverStar Mountain Resort website.
