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

We went on the wettest weekend in September 17,2021. The staff at check in were nice n friendly. Respect for social distancing inside and a clean office that sells souvenirs and some drinks. The checked us in efficiently. The grounds were well kept. Washrooms were clean and someone came by with cart to clean. There are individual Showers with toilets. Our friends had a problem with their camper and a staff came by to provide guidance. Though they didn't solve but showed willingness to help. Nice people! The sites are leveled. Picnic tables are not moveable. Very close to spawning river. Bears love to feast. I would go back in warm weather. Close to fast food and grocery shopping Save on, star buck, A&W etc. 5 minutes drive away.

Had a pretty good experience here, and I'll be back. My thoughts: - the river sites are excellent, with one caveat. They're substantially cooler (temperature wise) due to how close they are to the water, and it's a ton of fun just hanging out along the banks or in the water. The one thing that drove me crazy was how dusty and dirty the site was. It could definitely use a layer of gravel because it was about an inch of dry dirt/sand all over the site. - amenities are okay. I was pleasantly surprised to find the showers/bathrooms are self contained toilet/shower combos, each with its own door lock and code, so you can have some privacy. The bathrooms were old, but mostly clean. Could definitely use some updating. The kids playground is newish but pretty small. - location is good. Very close to town and also a short drive to Othello Tunnels. Easy to drive or even walk to pick up groceries or even Starbucks or some fast food.

Amazing campground!!! First time visiting but avid campers and will definitely be back. Brought the family for a few days and cannot say enough positive things about this place. The kids loved the bike park and disc golf across the road, and an off leash dog park a block away was great for our pup. The campground itself is in a lush forest and there is good distance between sites. The facilities were in great shape (very clean) and everyone at the office was a treat to deal with!! Did I mention it was an easy walk or bike into town? Amazing!

First of all, I am very disappointed with my experience during our stay in this campground. I have high expectations because its privately owned campground and you pay quite a bit of money per night. The campground is close to the road and it appeared that anyone can access the site. In fact, while we were walking along the river path we came across a man who look kinda sketchy because he has a backpack with a black jacket and a hat who was biking along the path. Someone that looked out of place for sure. There are NO AMENITIES at all. Then, bathrooms were a mess every time. You have no idea how often they actually clean them. The showers you pay $2 for 6 minutes. I don't mind paying at all if you would actually get proper "hot" showers. But no, you get "ice cold" showers. I did approached the staff about this, however the guy who supposed to be assisting was so rude. Unfortunately, I didn't get his name. But he is the guy with a bun and a mustache. He threw a handful of tokens when we told him that showers doesn't work. What a great way to treating your customers with respect....hand them more tokens when they complain that the showers spits out "ice-cold water." We definitely did not have a great experience here. The campground is not well maintained for sure. But the most disappointing is their lack of good customer service. We are definitely not coming back here. If you are reading this, please consider not booking your trip here. It is awful! NOT WORTH IT!

Coquihalla campground is a great family oriented private campground. Lots of fun stuff to do close by. Othello tunnels, swimming holes, a beautiful Lake, and an amazing bike park. We stayed in a double site 55 and 56. The site was Private although behind the trees, it backed onto a road. Aside from in the early morning, we barely noticed the traffic noise. Facilities were good and the staff were friendly. Would definitely come back.
