Canyon Creek Campground and RV Park
Canyon Creek is a private campground in Hixon beside Canyon Creek and Hixon Creek. It offers tenting and RV stays as a base for short outings in the Highway 97 corridor. The operator’s park map identifies campsite types, facilities and internal trails; campsite availability and the campground’s walking paths are separate from public access to nearby Hixon Falls.
Sources reviewed . This is a research date, not a trail inspection.
The locations GPX contains sourced points with their recorded roles. It contains no trail track or connecting route.
Site map
A reusable trail line has not yet been verified for this outing. Any location pin shows the published location described above; it does not draw the hike or establish a navigable approach.
Getting there & parking
Use the operator’s address, 39035 Highway 97 South, Hixon, to reach the campground entrance directly from the highway. Confirm the booked site and check-in instructions with the campground. For Hixon Falls or Hixon Chutes, use their separate Hixon Creek Road trailhead directions; a campground booking does not provide a verified through-trail to either destination.
Estimated drive from Prince George: 49 min · 60.5 km. Modeled one-way driving time from Prince George City Hall, using mapped road speeds. Forest-road sections can take substantially longer: surface, clearance, radio procedures, gates, washouts, plowing, and legal access are not verified by the router. No live traffic or invented forest-road multiplier is included. Allow extra time and check the dated access notes.

At the campsite
The property map identifies an eco trail and an off-leash area. No measured full hiking circuit or detailed junction sequence is established by the map’s text listing.
Full route notes
Consult the operator’s park map for the internal paths and the location of tent sites, RV spaces and shared facilities. These are campground paths rather than a published distance-and-elevation hiking circuit. For a waterfall walk, travel to the separately described public trailhead and follow that outing’s route. Ask the operator which creekside paths are currently open, especially after high water.
Conditions & seasons
Season-specific access has not been established in this guide. Read the dated notices and original land-manager information before choosing a departure date.
These are dated research notes. Open the trip planner for current available weather and advisory feeds; no alert found does not establish that a trail or road is open.
Camping & overnight plans
The operator advertises secluded tenting sites and RV camping with online availability and reservations. Use its current rates-and-amenities page and park map to select the appropriate site; do not assume a particular hookup, site size or operating season from an older directory listing.
