<h2>Overview</h2><p>Wells Gray Provincial Park’s Clearwater Lake and Falls Creek campgrounds offer a true <strong>wilderness experience</strong> for those looking to disconnect. Situated at the end of the Clearwater Valley Road, these sites provide a rugged and serene home base for exploring the famous Land of Hidden Waters. Visitors should expect a <strong>back-to-basics atmosphere</strong> where the sounds of the forest replace the hum of modern technology. This area is defined by its dramatic volcanic history and deep glacial lakes that reflect the surrounding peaks.</p><h2>Location & Surroundings</h2><p>Located approximately 68 kilometers north of Clearwater, BC, the park is nestled deep within the <strong>Cariboo Mountains</strong>. The journey involves a scenic drive through ancient lava beds, with the final section transitioning to a managed gravel road. The campground sits at the southern tip of <strong>Clearwater Lake</strong>, offering immediate access to the water. This remote setting provides visitors with unparalleled silence and some of the darkest night skies for stargazing in British Columbia.</p><h2>Amenities & Park Features</h2><p>As a provincial park facility, the amenities focus on environmental preservation. Travelers will find <strong>spacious gravel pads</strong> suitable for various RV sizes, though there are no hookups or sani-dumps at the lake itself. Features include:</p><ul><li><strong>Hand-pumped water stations</strong> for non-potable or treated use.</li><li>Large picnic tables and sturdy fire rings at every campsite.</li><li>A public boat launch and a seasonal canoe rental office.</li><li>Well-maintained pit toilets located throughout the park.</li></ul><p>Visitors should arrive with full freshwater tanks, as the <strong>nearest full services</strong> are located back in the town center.</p><h2>Nearby Attractions & Things to Do</h2><p>The primary draw is the expansive water system, where paddlers can explore the remote reaches of <strong>Azure Lake</strong> via a short portage. Hikers can enjoy trails leading to the scenic Osprey Falls or the Chain Meadows loop. Just a short drive back down the main road, travelers can witness the power of <strong>Helmcken Falls</strong>, which is nearly three times the height of Niagara. Fishing for rainbow trout is another popular pastime for those staying near the water.</p><h2>Who This Park Is Best For</h2><p>This destination is ideal for <strong>self-contained RVers</strong> who value solitude and are prepared for an off-grid adventure. It is a premier choice for <strong>outdoor enthusiasts</strong> and photographers who want to capture the raw beauty of the North Thompson region. Families who enjoy fishing, kayaking, and traditional campfire experiences will find the environment very rewarding. If you prefer a quiet, natural setting over a busy resort, this wilderness park is a perfect fit.</p>

Wells Gray Park/Clearwater Lake, Clearwater, BC

Unbelievably beautiful and secluded part of BC. I believe it to be one of the best kept secrets. You won't find swarms of tourists or "influencer" just pure and beautiful nature all at a short walk from your car. Each waterfall is unique and breathtaking, leading to larger than life panoramas of the canyon. This a must see provincial

As always, Wells Gray surpasses all expectations, beautiful sites, lots of parking, well maintained trails, busy of course at the waterfalls, but the alpine hike to Sheila lake was gorgeous, bring LOTS of bug spray in the summer months, the bugs and mosquitos are nasty! Some of our hiking crew even brought face nets to keep the bugs at bay! Lots of great swimming holes as well!

Unbelievably beautiful. This place is unreal, you can walk along the river and see up to 5 waterfalls in this park.
The drop is so beautiful and you can be so close to it if you’re up to it.
The drive there is stunning and the walk is very easy. Been there already 5 times and can’t get enough of it. Super nice in every season. Love the winter views as much as the feel of it right after winter when the falls feel so powerful and full of water.
Enjoy an absolute stunning day at wells gray provincial park. So worth the drive

We camped.  It was an hour drive to the campground once you entered the park. Beautiful drive. The campground is on a river but has a chain link fence dividing you from it. I understand why but took away from the view. Had a shower room with two coin operated showers.

Beautiful Park, we took a long day trip from Salmon Arm, the waterfalls were amazing. Lots of options for hikes for different skill levels. Beautiful lookout for a picnic

Weather wasn't great but it still was a good day great Captain  next time hope for sun. OVERALL IT WAS A GREAT DAY.

Just visited briefly.  Insanely beautiful.

An enjoyable day on the lakes. Our guide explained some background of the area while taking us to many interesting waterfalls and other sites on the two lakes. It was smoky skies for us courtesy of nearby forest fires, but we didn't let that effect our good time on board. Lunch near Rainbow falls was provided and water is also available during the tour. There is free time after lunch for swimming or canoeing - we just chilled on the beach for a while before heading back.

Took the boat tour. Warren was an excellent guide and very informative. Extra guide Chris was super friendly! We had an amazing day on the water and a lovely lunch even with the extreme high water levels and covid protocols! Thanks for a great time! Worth the price!!!!

Super friendly staff. Rented out canoe for multi day canoe/camping trip. We will be back.
