Cultus Lake is a beautiful spot in Chilliwack! The crystal clear water, stunning scenery and there’s also so much to do such as swimming (of course not in winter), kayaking, hiking, or just relaxing by the lake. It’s clean, peaceful, and perfect for a day out with family or friends.

We had a fantastic time there on the water! The weather was perfect and our friend's place in the residential area was a few steps from the lake. If you go, definitely recommend you to book a place in advance. Be prepared to pay though during peak season. The water was cool because the weather just started to warm back up. But with a few days of higher temperatures, it'll definitely be warmer. The scenery is picturesque, and the water is very calm. Even with some speed boaters around, you'll have a great time kayaking and pedalboarding!

In love with this beautiful lake; so peaceful and charming. Not over crowded at all. Enjoyed some quality time with family; views were amazing. You must drive to the village and houses on top;

It's a beautiful well keep provincial park. One of the best parks so closed to the city. The big parking lot is just next to the big lawn. It's really good for the families with seniors and little kids. It's a quiet park on weekdays. You just need to bring your picnic, tables, chairs, canoe, paddle board and life jacket if you go there in summer. The lake is big enough for people enjoying the water sport. Hopefully, they will add more bathrooms there since it is super busy in summer. The parking will be a big problem in summer.

What a beautiful location!!! Plenty of room for large gatherings/families. Clean, sandy beaches. Lots of picnic tables and shaded areas. Plenty of parking. Stunning scenery. Local shops and amenities, huge theme park for children (? And adults). Great way to spend a day outdoors soaking up the sunshine!!

Although there were flushing toilets and showers stalls, I find the number of them to be not enough. The camp sites are somewhat smaller than usual, and closer together. Of the ones on the lake it was the most spacious. Close proximity to the lake, a dog beach, and hiking trails is a plus. Like all the campgrounds around, it is close to the road so you will hear the traffic. Ground is kept clean by the operators and they are also very helpful.

This is my favorite campsite at cultus Lake. The sites are larger and spaced out nicely. Maple bay is the best one out of the 4 .

Beautiful!!!! Love campfire smell and nature. Close to maple bay Beach and quietly nestled deep in the back corner of cultus lake.

We love Maple bay. I've given it a previous 5 star review. However the staff this year are lazy and straight up useless. I would give less if the park it self wasn't so amazing. We were there on a busy weekend. Paid for the extra night so we didn't have to check out at 11. Watched the staff use thier hands to kinda clean this fire pits. (Ours was full of garbage and didn't know it till we lit it.) We came with friends. We watched the staff drive past thier double site 13 times without cleaning it or pulling the tag off between 11:00-13:00. There was 4 trucks worth of staff. Of all the sites around us (roughly 6) I saw them clean 1.5 of them and did a piss poor job of it. The staff treats the campers like criminals cause they need time to clean and they don't even clean. Not sure why we pay a premium to camp at this park.

Nicely tree lined campground sites & a clean bathroom. We stayed on site 16 & found that you can hear a bit of road traffic at night from I’m guessing the little bridge part of the road (thudding sound) but would only bother you if a super light sleeper! Approximately a 10 minute walk to the lake, so if you have young kids, it worthwhile to pack up a wagon for the walk over. Will definitely return.
