Canyon Hot Springs., Revelstoke, BC

I have been absent for a long time and haven't kept up on my blog. I hope to be writing a little more in the future and filling with a little more content. It was just an overnight stop on our way back home from Calgary to Maple Ridge, BC. We had just been visiting family and had also camped for a couple of nights in the Crowsnest Pass area for a family reunion. It had been almost 16 years since we had last been to the Canyon Hot Springs which is located just off Hwy 1 about 35 km East of Revelstoke, BC. This stop had my daughter and wife in our 26BHSS Tracer Travel Trailer. Last time we were here my daughter was still in my wife's belly. The campground itself is kept very clean and the showers and bathrooms were also clean. One thing about the showers though is that they are pay per use. Full service sites are power and water only. This came to $50 for the night after our surcharge of $3.00 for our daughter. There are pull through sand back in serviced sites as well as non serviced sites. One negative if you are not all that mobility capable is that it is quite the uphill trek to get to the pool. Now on to the Pool. Remember that admission to the pool is not included. However the family rate for 4 for a day pass is $42.00. This includes the next day up until noon. We took advantage of the second day swim just prior to leaving and hitting the road. The pool is nice and the water very clean. There is a nice view of the surrounding mountains from the pool deck. Not a lot of shade however. The large swimming pool is approx. 87 Fahrenheit and the smaller hotter pool is advertised at 104 Fahrenheit. For a halfway overnight I recommend it for people who are just tenting to larger rigs as well. Be mindful that there is train tracks close by and the trains are running frequently. A small river is also close by a little to fast to sit in and did not get the chance to put my rod in. This log building is the showers and washrooms in the lower service area.

The serviced area was empty when we first pulled in. But quickly filled up by the late afternoon. Safe travels to everyone. Rick
