Golden is a small town in southeastern British Columbia. Known for beautiful natural resources, it is home to several national parks that offer a variety of activities depending on the season of visit. Note that Golden is the first significant town you will come across when you enter British Columbia when traveling from Calgary, Banff, or Lake Louise. In actuality, it might not appear to be much from the highway. You will merely pass by petrol stations and fast food restaurants if you don’t make a slight turn into the village, skipping this ancient mountain hamlet and the nearby Kicking Horse Mountain Resort. The welcoming community makes Golden a wonderful place for a quick stay. The abundant natural landscape of the area makes it an ideal glamping spot. For such options, check out our list of the best glamping spots near Golden, Canada.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) host status, recent guest reviews, prices, availability of dates, decor, and a location that facilitates glamping or is close to glamping spots. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on April 13, 2024.

4. Rustic yurt with parking (from USD 70)
This rental is great for more adventurous guests who enjoy going back to basics. Living a simple life in an off-grid location is definitely an experience for the books so come prepared. Contrary to typical yurts, this stay can accommodate up to six guests.
Power is limited since everything is solar-powered but there is enough power for devices that are charged via USB. On average, cell reception is decent but can be spotty for some networks. The rental does not have hot running water so you would need to heat water from the stove.
