Coquihalla Campground

This is a really gorgeous campsite. Very picturesque and the river is crystal clear and great for dipping toes and skimming stones. We drove into town for dinner; Hope is such a lovely town! I wish we had spent two nights here rather than a night in Kamloops, where our RV park was extremely basic. Campsite advertised as free WiFi.. didn’t reach our plot! So completely irrelevant. Biggest issue- We were not able to shower or even use the toilets here as the water has been cut off. Front office were really vague and told us there was a connection issue in town that had cut off half the town’s supply! A local woman told us that this happens often. No discount offered for the huge inconvenience of not showering my kids tonight after a swim in the lake and a day in the hot sun! Not the parks fault but handled badly. Even if they just reimbursed the money spent on bottled water. Bins are overflowing here this morning and full of flies. It has been bank holiday weekend, the RV park hasn’t been full, but maybe low on staff? You have to pay $2 for 6mins for showers if they are on during your stay. Whilst in Hope make sure to take a picnic down to the Kawkaka Lake… of a weekend it’s full of families having BBQs and swimming in the lake, there’s a great playground there too! We also did the train tunnels and it was a lovely walk!

We (husband, daughter, 2 dogs and myself) traveled here in a camper van and stayed for 1 night. Great place to stay with fair sized camping spots under a canopy of trees. We didn't reserve a spot ahead of time and just drove up and asked if there was still anything available and got a spot not too far from the toilet/shower buildings. We had no power or water hook up which was no problem for us. We paid $42 for the one night and they had tokens for the showers you could buy, they were $2 per 6 minutes. Toilet and shower building was decent and clean. There was wifi, but only near the office. The campground is located by the Coquihalla River which is beautiful. The campground was very quiet at night, we enjoyed our stay!

We arrived on Monday and I said we wanted to stay until Friday. I thought i paid up until today but there was a problem. While in Vancouver yesterday visiting family we haven't seen in a year, I noticed missed calls from the campground. I called back and was told they were going to pack up our stuff because we should have left by 11am on discharge day. I was so upset and they had the manager call me back because they had booked our site to someone else. The manager explained that we could stay but should get back ASAP. This totally ruined my family visit because we had to leave Vancouver which caused our visit to be less than 2 hours. We arrived back after getting stuck in supper hour traffic and wasn't even given a discount. I worked in customer service for years and this behavior is not how you keep guests coming back to stay. We won't be staying with them again when we come back next year to Hope. I also took photos of our campsite when we left so they don't try to charge us for any damage.

The place is clean, and strictly implemented the quiet time of 10p.m. The river is absolutely beautiful and view is also spectacular. The only little concern is the space for the camp...its not as big as those we use to rent in other place. The price is bit high but having said, its also balance with the amenities available in the place. In general its one of the place to stay. Don't forget to visit the closebylake kawkawa lake is also a gem. Just few minutes drive from the camping ground.

Super awesome campsite. The site itself was a tad small, but we rented both sites so we were able to be comfortable. But I can't imagine sharing it with a stranger. Too close and tight. Aside from that. It's great. Close to the town, and lake. The lake itself was gorgy. The staff were super friendly and the facilities were awesome. Super clean. Great for families
