Lucky Star Saloon
I have driven by this place a couple of times when visiting Campbell Valley for a walk. It’s out of the way, and unless you have a reason to go to High Point Equestrian Centre, or the High Point neighbourhood, you would never see it. After parking at the 200th Street lot for Campbell Valley Regional Park, I started walking the Perimeter trail, with the goal of walking the Shaggy Main Trail. As I approached 200th and 8 th Ave, I thought, “Why not walk by the little western town to take a few pics?”
As I approached the gate, a couple of pups came to greet me, and I noticed a man and woman sitting on the porch having a coffee. That’s when I met Sharon and Rick. Sharon engaged in conversation right away. I asked what the story was behind the property and found out that it is a passion project for this couple. Their goal is for the film or music industry to use the location. Sharon asked if I would like to come on the property and have a look around. Of course I said yes! Every piece on the property has a story. Unfortunately I don’t remember most of them!
In the saloon, they have hosted BC Back Country Horsemen meetings in the saloon, and the jail is actually a washroom.
Sharon, in her youth, played in a female pool league in the lower mainland. The name of the Lucky Star Saloon is a tribute to her dad who was well-known in the race-track industry. Rick is retired from Telus. They have build a collection of all things old-west from a number of local sources, and beyond.
They are now building a brand new theme-focused home on the property, part of which will be set up as a bank, boarding house and cafe.
Here’s a few more photos:

Copper Doors will be the entrance to the “Bank”

My host – Sharon. Such a lovely person!
It sounds very interesting. Can anyone go see it? Thanks for posting.
Hi Karen,
It is private property, so it would depend on whether the owner is around and would want to show you around. You can certainly drive by. It is on 200th Street just south of 8th Avenue (on the right side of the street).
Hi,
I would like to contact you about a photo club outing there in the spring.
Hi Carol,
I apologize for the late reply. I would love to connect with you about a photo club outing. You can reach me by text or phone at 604-307-5590.
