Clearwater / Wells Gray KOA Journey
Set among pines and shade trees, this KOA lies about 6 miles from the Wells Gray Provincial park.
Known as "the waterfall park," Wells Gray Provincial Park boasts more than 250 cascades, including the spectacular Helmcken Falls. Drive there for a terrific photo op or reach it on foot via the Helmcken Brink Trail. You'll find plenty of great trails to hike in this grand wilderness full of wildflowers and wildlife. Also nearby: river rafting, canoeing, mountain biking, lake cruises and kayaking. Set among pines and shade trees, KOA lies about 6 miles from the park. If you come unequipped for camping, book a Camping Cabin or a room in the on-site motel. Undo the kinks in the heated pool. Have fun with mini golf, sand volleyball and other games. The property is fenced with gates that are open from 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Pool could open earlier depending on weather. Pool: June 15 - September 6. Max pull thru: 100 feet.

We stayed one night in a cabin (#19) with an ensuite bathroom that clearly had septic system issues. To mask the sewer smell there was a plugin "fragrance" diffuser that was as sickening as the odour it was trying to cover up. And no fan that might have reduced the smell, just a small opening window. In addition, the facilities are old and shabby (and no doubt hard to keep clean), well past their best before date. Lovely grounds if you're in an RV though!

Spent a week there with our family of 4 due to a family emergency. They were so accommodating as we had take it two days at a time and were able to stay in the same room our entire week. Room was clean, beds were comfortable and the grounds were clean. We did not use any of the services or features available as we spent most of our time at the hospital. Would recommend this location to others and if we are ever in the area again, we will book at the Clearwater Resort.

Clearwater Valley Resort has a great location, close to restaurants, stores, and Wells Gray Park, making it very convenient for travelers. However, the room service was disappointing and not up to the mark. The rooms felt a bit dated and could be cleaner. Staff seemed slow to respond to requests. For the price, the amenities felt basic. It’s a good option only if you value location over comfort.

I stayed in the large two bed room. The room was out dated and needed work. Towels were hard and scratchy, some had stains. Bed and bedding were old and uncomfortable. No soap or toiletries in bathroom. The tub was clogged when I took a shower and filled up halfway. The pool was green and I didn’t feel comfortable going in after seeing the state of the room. The mini golf course was fun, but definitely needed some maintenance and love. We went down for some food. We ordered steak bites and they were so disgusting. We couldn’t even chew them. The kids got chicken Alfredo and they couldn’t even eat it because it didn’t taste good, and they pretty much eat any pasta. My beef dip was overly greasy and the meat was not fresh. I didn’t say anything to the server as she was very busy and the only one working in the restaurant. No refills or asking how food was because of the lack of staffing in the restaurant. Beautiful site and location but I won’t be going again.

These guys left the KOA a few years ago, and it has never been better! We stay in our trailer here every year on the way out to the coast for the last 5 years. The camp ground is fun to walk. The pond is so peaceful. The pool is perfect for a family swim at the end of a long day of swimming. The RV and tent sites are beautiful. Some are close together, but most of them are well treed. There is a garbage can and recycling can everywhere! No excuses to litter. The bathrooms are dated, but are getting upgrades (and considering the amazing work that has gone into this place in the last year, I am excited to see the changes). The staff has always been pretty great, super friendly, great customer service. But... the big draw (which I always thought was the pool), is the restaurant. Both boys approved. We do takeout, to bring it to our site, the restaurant looks very relaxing and clean, but dang. It is good food. Every time.
