A rustic, well-priced campground on the Canoe River in BC's Robson Valley, with big treed sites, riverside spots and power and water hookups. Facilities are dated and some bookings haven't matched the site.
Canoe River Campground sits beside the fast-flowing Canoe River in the Robson Valley, and the riverside sites are what regulars ask for year after year. Reviewers describe big, well-spaced sites with plenty of trees for privacy, along with some open, sunnier ones, and a rustic feel that keeps the natural setting intact.
Value comes up often: sites with power and water are reasonably priced, firewood is dry and fairly priced, and there's a sewer dump. The main washrooms have showers and hot water and are heated and cleaned regularly, though the building is dated, and the secondary washrooms have no showers. Front desk staff get many warm mentions for being kind and communicative, including helping one group through a medical emergency.
It works well as an overnight stop on the highway or a base for the Berg Lake Trail, and some families stay longer. There's a large field with play equipment for kids, and one visitor mentions salmon and eagles on the river near the rodeo grounds.
Not everything lines up. One recent RVer paid for 50-amp power and found only a 30-amp outlet, with no full hookups and an inaccurate site map, and got no reply to emails. A tent camper found the playground old and broken down, and a few people say the place looks run-down. An older review describes unpleasant dealings with managers. Watch small children near the river, check that your site matches your booking, and bring mosquito repellent.
