3 Aldergrove BC RV Dump Stations | Border Area Sani-Dumps
49.0580° N, 122.4709° W
Quick Overview
Aldergrove sits right on the US-Canada border in British Columbia's Fraser Valley, making it a natural stopping point for RVers crossing between Washington State and the Lower Mainland. You'll find several RV dump stations here, though some are free -- all facilities charge fees for waste disposal services.
This border community serves as a practical waypoint rather than a destination campground hub. The area's sanitary dump stations are located at established RV parks that cater primarily to overnight guests and seasonal campers. Most facilities offer full hookup sites, so the sani-dump stations see less standalone traffic than you'd find in larger BC cities.
Access is straightforward via Highway 1 (Trans-Canada) or Highway 13, which runs north-south as 264th Street. RV traffic moves easily through Aldergrove -- you won't face the tight turns or elevation challenges common in BC's interior or coastal mountains. The flat Fraser Valley terrain means even larger Class A motorhomes navigate without stress.
Alderbrook RV Park represents the newest addition to local dump station options. Given Aldergrove's border location, these facilities see steady use from American RVers heading into Canada and Canadians returning from US trips. Plan your dump station stop accordingly, especially during summer weekends when cross-border traffic peaks and RV parks fill quickly.

Trans-Canada Highway 1 provides the main east-west route through Aldergrove, connecting you to Vancouver (45 minutes west) and the Fraser Valley communities to the east. Exit 73 or 83 will put you in the Aldergrove area depending on your destination.
Highway 13 (264th Street) runs as a quiet two-lane road straight from the Lynden-Aldergrove border crossing north to Highway 1. It's genuinely RV-friendly -- minimal turns, no steep grades, and wide enough that you won't feel squeezed by local traffic. Fraser Highway parallels the border just north of the crossing, offering an alternate route with easy access to services.
The Lynden-Aldergrove border crossing operates 8 AM to midnight only. Miss that window and you'll detour 30 minutes west to Peace Arch or Pacific Highway crossings, both open 24 hours. That's a significant time loss when you're looking for an RV waste disposal point after a long travel day.
Overnight parking at rest stops isn't common in this area. Your best bet for legal overnight stays involves booking at one of the local RV parks, where you'll have access to their sanidump facilities as part of your site fee.

Dump Station Costs in Aldergrove
All several stations in Aldergrove charge fees -- that's some free options and a portion% requiring payment. This isn't surprising given the border location and the fact that dump stations here operate as part of private RV parks rather than public facilities.
Expect to pay $10-20 CAD for dump station access if you're not staying overnight. Some parks restrict their RV waste disposal facilities to registered guests only, so call ahead to confirm they'll accommodate drive-up customers. Paying for a full hookup site often makes more sense than hunting for standalone dump access, especially when you factor in the convenience of water refills and electrical hookups for the night.
The a portion% free rate reflects BC's general approach to sanidump services -- municipalities rarely provide complimentary public facilities in this province.

Explore the Aldergrove Area
Fill your fuel tank in Lynden, Washington before crossing into Canada. BC gas prices run significantly higher than Washington State -- we're talking 30-40% more in many cases. That savings adds up fast when you're filling a motorhome tank.
Eagle Wind RV Park books solid during July and August. If you're planning a summer visit, reserve your spot weeks ahead, not days. Last-minute availability disappears quickly in peak season.
The border crossing timing matters more than you'd think. Arriving at 11:45 PM means you've got 15 minutes to clear customs before the Lynden-Aldergrove crossing closes. Build in buffer time or plan to use the 24-hour crossings instead. Getting turned away from a closed border when you need to dump your tanks makes for a frustrating evening.
Highway 13 offers the smoothest border-to-highway route for RVs. Some GPS systems will route you through residential areas on 8th Avenue -- ignore that suggestion. Stick with 264th Street northbound for the straightest shot to Highway 1 with the fewest complications.
