Coach Light Motel
Overview
Overview
Travelers cruising through central British Columbia will find Coach Light Motel situated right along the highway corridor in Vanderhoof, BC. This property combines classic roadside lodging with accessible stopping points for motorists and highway voyagers traversing the vast expanses of the province's interior. As a recognizable landmark along the route, it offers a straightforward base for travelers needing a break from the steering wheel while exploring the Nechako Valley.
Location & Surroundings
Positioned along Highway 16, also known as the Yellowhead Highway, the property sits in a landscape defined by rolling agricultural lands, dense boreal forests, and the winding course of the Nechako River. The climate here features warm summers and cold, crisp winters typical of the northern interior. Visitors arriving from Prince George to the east or Burns Lake to the west will navigate a scenic corridor framed by wide river valleys and distant mountain ranges.
Amenities & Park Features
Given that the property operates primarily as a motel, specific camping hookups, site dimensions, and recreational facilities are not explicitly detailed by the name alone. RVers planning a stop should contact management directly to confirm essential logistics. Be sure to ask about vehicle clearance, trailer turnaround space, electrical and water availability, and seasonal operating schedules before rolling your rig into the property.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
The surrounding region provides ample opportunities to experience northern BC's outdoor heritage. Anglers can target local waterways for trout and salmon, while history enthusiasts can explore the nearby Riverside Park or learn about local heritage at the Vanderhoof Centennial Park museum exhibits. Bird watchers frequently visit the nearby wetlands during migratory seasons, and the local agricultural flats offer striking vistas under expansive skies.
Who This Park Is Best For
This stop suits road-trippers making the long haul across central British Columbia who prefer a familiar highway-adjacent location. It appeals to drivers seeking a straightforward transition off Highway 16 rather than deep wilderness campgrounds. Travelers prioritizing regional access, simple logistics, and proximity to local services will find this spot fits well into an itinerary.

I called ahead to see if they had an available RV spot for the night. She said yes and it would be $38. Showed up, nobody was around, called again and was told to pick any spot and it would be $35. Figured out that it is only 15 AMP and the water wasn't turned on yet. The place was 100% empty. We decided it wasn't worth the money when we literally only get a place to park so we left. Giving these details so others know that there isn't necessarily a set price and that the RV site are only 15 AMP so be aware.

I was really surprised by the quality and size of the room for the price. I just needed a single room for one night and I think I got a suite. (separate bedroom and kitchen) The room was very clean, well furnished and large. The check in process was seamless and quite easy. There was no human contact other than the phone. I would recommend this motel highly.

Not the best choice for pulling in with a 45 foot 5er. Great for a small bumper pull rig. Accommodating folks though, and we had a good night sleep. I would return… with a little rig. 😊

Even though I live locally in the area,they have been very accommodating to my needs. Rooms are very clean,smell nice. Very spacious. And they have a wonderful staff. It's the only hotel I will stay at in the area.

Very clean room, host was great, accommodating, helped us check in a timely manner at a not so convenient time due to night shift. Nothing short of great service. Thank you
