South Point Resort
Overview
South Point Resort is a premier destination for travelers seeking a peaceful escape on the shores of Canim Lake. This family-friendly resort captures the essence of the British Columbia interior, offering a blend of rugged wilderness and comfortable amenities. Whether you are arriving for a weekend of fishing or a month-long summer retreat, the park provides a well-maintained environment where the focus is on the natural beauty of the South Cariboo. It is a place where the pace of life slows down to match the gentle lap of the water against the shore.
Location & Surroundings
Located in the heart of the Cariboo region, the resort is nestled along the southern edge of a deep, 23-mile-long lake. The surroundings are characterized by lush coniferous forests and rolling mountain peaks that create a dramatic backdrop for your stay. Because it is tucked away from major transit corridors, the area remains exceptionally quiet, offering a secluded atmosphere that is rare to find. The elevation provides cool, refreshing evenings and crisp air, making it an ideal refuge during the height of the summer heat.
Amenities & Park Features
The resort is designed to cater to modern RVers while maintaining a rustic charm. Each RV site is equipped with full hookups, including 30-amp power, treated water, and sewer connections. For those who enjoy life on the water, the park features a private boat launch and extensive dock space. Guests can take advantage of the swimming area or rent a variety of watercraft, including powerboats and kayaks. The facility also includes clean, modern washrooms and laundry services, ensuring a comfortable experience throughout your stay.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
The primary draw for many visitors is the exceptional trophy fishing found in Canim Lake, which is home to massive lake trout and kokanee. Just a short drive away, you can hike the scenic trails leading to the majestic Canim Falls, where the water plunges over ancient volcanic rock. The surrounding crown land is crisscrossed with paths perfect for mountain biking and wildlife photography. For those interested in local culture, the nearby town of 100 Mile House offers a glimpse into the region's pioneer history and ranching heritage.
Who This Park Is Best For
This park is an ideal match for outdoor enthusiasts who want a front-row seat to one of the most beautiful lakes in the province. It is particularly well-suited for families who enjoy boating and swimming in a safe, controlled environment. Retiring couples will appreciate the quiet nights and the friendly, community-oriented vibe of the resort. If you are a traveler who values high-quality facilities combined with direct access to wilderness recreation, South Point Resort offers the perfect balance for your next BC road trip.

We got married at South Point in September of this year! It was truly everything we could have asked for and more. Planning the event in the many months leading up, Leanne was always very responsive and easy to communicate with. She helped answer all our questions along the way. The wedding itself was beautiful. The venue looked amazing, and it was so special and fun to have so many of our guests be able to stay with us at the resort for the whole weekend. Leanne and the whole team at South Point were absolutely incredible and we would recommend this as a wedding venue for anyone looking for a good time!!

We had our wedding at South Point Resort on Canim Lake this June, and it was absolutely perfect. The location is breathtaking—surrounded by the beauty of the lake and mountains, it created the most stunning backdrop for our special day. The resort itself is charming, comfortable, and felt like the perfect blend of rustic and elegant. The team at South Point went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. From helping us coordinate the setup to making sure our guests felt welcome, their care and attention to detail truly made a difference. Many of our guests commented on how beautiful and peaceful the setting was, and we couldn’t agree more. Having our wedding here gave us not just a venue, but an experience we’ll cherish forever. We’re so grateful to South Point Resort for giving us the most beautiful memories of our wedding day—we couldn’t have imagined a more perfect place to say “I do.” Thank you so much to Leanne & staff!

We recently stayed at South Point Resort for a family reunion. It checked all of the boxes. This resort has something to offer for all types of vacationers. The beachfront campsites were really nice, the condos were recently renovated, and the cabins looked to be in nice shape (I did not go inside). The hosts were pleasant, helpful and always available. If not, they delegated authority to someone else. Showers were coin operated, clean, hot and 5 minutes was plenty for a man. Boat dock was basically brand new and swim dock was in very good shape. Both docks had very stable and safe ladders in/out of lake. There was a creek running through the resort into the lake which occupied the kids with their imaginations. Canim Lake is quite a large lake, its almost like being on the ocean its so big. There is the occasional chop to be aware of. The owners organized a farmers market on one of the days. It was pretty cool to see all the local merchants come to the resort and set up in their event venue. People showed up in boats from around the lake to come to the market. It was really neat to see. If I were to make one suggestion, and I'm only saying this because I am super safety conscious, it might be a good idea to have some sort of controls in place when boaters come to shore with their boats. Maybe some signage to let boaters know about the swimming area to add an extra layer of safety. All in all, this resort is awesome. I will definitely be adding this to our list to stay here again.

We just spent our first holiday at south point resort. The location is fantastic. Fishing was great. Weather was good. We met friends at the resort and we all had fun. We stayed in the condo with our 2 dogs. The condo was clean and well equipped with amenities. We rented a boat while we were there . Our friends camped in their rv trailer. Hosts Bear and Leanne are very nice people . The atmosphere at the resort is very friendly and relaxed. We had heard about the resort from our niece and family who stay there every year. We enjoyed the time there and will definitely plan a return trip. Thanks Bear and Leanne
