We will be back next year for sure!

During the August long weekend, my husband, sister, sister-in-law and her partner and 7 year old…read moredaughter went camping. As it was a long weekend during COVID times, campsites were hard to find, and we were lucky to snag a spot at Ross Creek, near Shuswap Lake. The last time I went camping was nearly 20 years ago, so needless to say, I am not a camper (it didn't even occur to me to bring an air mattress, which is something people do now -- I have never camped with an air mattress, but I had no issue sleeping directly on the ground). I don't *hate* camping, but I can't say I *like* it, the main reason being people -- the people I'm with, and other campers. The last camping trip was with my ex-husband and his friends, and it was an utterly AWFUL experience (long, long story), and while the people I was going with were not an issue this time, I was worried about other campers -- I like peace and quiet, and when camping or spending a day at the lake or beach, there is always at least one asshole who BLASTS their music. Regardless of my previous experiences camping and my (realized) concerns about noisy neighbours, I was excited to go -- it was a mini vacation with people I liked. (Plus I didn't have to set up or take down the tent, or do any cooking.) My husband wasn't too keen on Ross Creek at first, as it was a family campsite with a general store (in addition to being a pretty well stocked grocery store -- they even had Patak's butter chicken sauce -- you could order full breakfasts and meals) and showers and proper toilets, which, in his opinion is "not camping", but it ended up being a pretty decent campsite (my husband went to the general store several times for various items). Despite the campsite being fairly full, it wasn't crowded, and each lot was a fair size -- we had more than enough space for three tents, a truck, and a table (in addition to the picnic table at each site). While it wasn't totally private (each lot wasn't surrounded by trees), it wasn't bad at all (it also helped that one of the lots beside us was empty), and the washrooms and shower stalls were clean (and I appreciated that the shower stalls had hooks and a chair and enough space so that your clothes and towel didn't get wet). Overall, a pretty decent campsite, and the location was fantastic -- right across from Shuswap Lake. However, there were two things I wasn't please about: the noise, and the washrooms/showers being locked up between the hours of about 9pm and 7am. As I had feared, people from other campsites blasted their music (thankfully during the day), and the first night we were there, a house located beside the campsite (and just behind our lot) was having a raging party and blasting their music until midnight. While the campsite can't control noise coming from private property, it was still very fucking annoying, and it would be nice if other campers didn't BLAST music. Regarding the washrooms -- the men's and women's showers/toilets were locked up during the night, and there was ONE handicapped/private toilet open during the night for the entire campsite -- NOT COOL. I guess I should be grateful that the campsite even offered proper toilets and I didn't have to shit in the woods, but ONE toilet for a busy campsite is misleading. That, and the noise, put a sour taste in my mouth. But despite these two major issues, I am still giving the campsite a generous three stars, because I did have fun, and if it were quiet and they didn't lock the toilets during the night (WTF?!), I would probably give Ross Creek four stars. Plus being right across from the lake was awesome.

All we brought was food and clothes. The location (just outside of Armstrong) is gorgeous: it's a combination of foothills, rolling green pastures, and forest. Our kids loved hunting for treasure with the metal detector, playing the giant chess set, and setting up croquet courses. We also rented the fire-heated outdoor hot tub one night, which was awesome.

In a nutshell, it's trashy....it's a native theme campground that has Bingo as its main attraction…read moreand the prizes are usually booze and weed....Way to represent our culture.....Not queer or disability friendly or safe. Was given permission to shower in men's bathroom with my reg. Care Aid. Permission was revoked when complaint was put in against the employees son who frequently turns off lights and screams in washroom while people are using it. Was told that I had to use my "gender assigned" washroom with no assistance. Was given the option of using the dirty tub room that is not an accessible space in anyway and still would not be able to recieve assistance. We offered options like posting a letter when showering that a medical assistance shower was taking place, we where ignored and instead told to leave to campground immediately. The camp employees did however let their drug addicted daughter and boy friend stay and detox in the brand new yurts for an extended period of time until a spot opened up at a treatment centre and than she got cold feet and stole some stuff from the other campers and took off. Definitely lock your stuff up. People go through your campsite and your belonging, including the park employees kids.....If you are wonder what kind of people they are... the addicted daughter allegedly felt it was better to get pregnant in the streets and leave her baby with another addicted person rather than give the baby to her mother who is the employee at the park...I now understand why it's called trailer trash.

A month before they said they were going to charge $10 a head for everyone coming for the hour of the memorial. This was not told before and if it was we could have found a hall for free since my family knows so many kind locals and our family has been living at and going to that campground since the mid '80's. The man (Jiri) told me to call him (I was corresponding via FB messages). I knew how controlling they are so I said no and then the owner contacted my grieving father and told him lies about the conversation making him very upset just weeks before his wife's memorial. Without going into personal details, it was very hard on his emotions and health and we had been trying to keep what he had to do to a minimum. When I got to the campground the owners had given away my cabin reservation and put me in one of the rustic cabins. When I was upset about that they told me to leave 2 hours before the memorial!!!! I had food for feeding my family, it was our first reunion in 20 years and the first time my dad had been with his siblings for over 40 years. These people ruined it (well we still enjoyed seeing each other but the owners made at least 3 of us cry and more upset). In the rustic cabin it was so cold and I had to use a wood fire and almost died in there due to no air. There were no bathrooms and no kitchen.I ended up with bug bites, maybe from the beds. The next day the owners got mad at my brother and family because the dad was sistting on the tramp with his baby and they said only 1 person on the tramp. He was 'sitting' with a baby.They then made them leave at 6pm and there were 2 motorhomes to move somewhere at the last minute. There's more.... but basically, these people made the entire weekend miserable. They only take cash as well, so people had to run into the local store and use the bank machine.

You guys this place was fan-freaking-tastic!…read more My husband's family owns a beach condo in Celista. We go out there every summer and this is the first time we've ever been to the Quaaout Lodge. It was my husband's birthday today and his parents treated us to a wonderful dinner. This is also the first time we have gone to a restaurant since Covid started, and their safety protocols made us feel very safe. The staff was all wearing masks, the tables were spaced out great, there was sanitizer stations all over the place, and when we arrived they even sanitized the chairs! The service was top notch. Our drinks and food both arrived promptly and we were all very impressed with everything. Everyone ordered the fish and chips but me, but I had a taste of my husband's and it was delicious. I had the Wedge Salad and it was hands down the best salad I've ever had (I highly recommend). I also recommend the Botanical Gin and Tonic The server overheard us mention that it was my husband's birthday and they offered him a free dessert (the best creme brule ever) complete with a candle. Overall we were all thoroughly impressed and will definitely be back next summer!
