Whiskey Creek Campground - Host Joy Strandquist

Whiskey Creek Campground

Your host - Joy Strandquist, and a little history...

Joy grew up in a family passionate about camping. They spent many happy times in the backwoods of BC. Her mother even canned fruit and baked cakes over the campfire. As a little girl, Joy always told her family that one day she would have her own campground.

She realized her dream in 1990 when she purchased her property. The land was selectively cleared starting in 1995 and construction of the buildings was complete by summer of 1996 when Whiskey Creek RV Campground officially opened for business.

After being a banker for 40 years, Joy retired to operate the campground full-time in 2011. One of Joy’s biggest pleasures is meeting people from all over the world and sharing their travel stories.

Come & enjoy her warm hospitality.
