Better use the washroom somewhere else without having the thought of flies coming out of a hole . Otherwise I recommend this area with its amazing trail and river view.

    This is a gorgeous Provincial Park, but if you are in the few campsites along the river you will…read morehere the trains on the other side of the river several times throughout the day. Heads up. That being said, I just loved this campsite. The site we got was glorious, leaning out over the incredible river, spacious with sun and shade, lots of trees between us and the next campers and a short walk to the toilets. They were pit toilets, and the water from the big spigot outside the toilets was not potable, but for us this is not make or break. At least the toilet areas were quite clean. We went on a nice hike along the river and were able to find sheltered spots to take a dip, and to see the spot where two very different rivers meet, giving the waters a bright stripe of glacier green against the deep, fast brown waters of the North Thompson. Not too buggy at all, and for me just enough trains to be a little romantic, not enough to be crazy-making. Would camp again. ;)

    Wow! We have been going to Rock Island Fishing Camp for more than 20 years......every year (except…read morelast year Covid closed the US/Canada boarder). Hope to get in this year. This camp is amazing if you are a fly fisher person. Ownership loves to take care of clients and they are in the midst a piece of forest and lakes that have incomparable beauty. Fishing can be amazing with Kamloops trout being the fish in all lakes. Camp host smoke your fish if you wish....and you should, trust me. We keep and eat fresh fish for breakfast during our stay, yummmy. The food they serve is excellent and always a good variety. I could go on and on but you need to check out their web site and talk to them about the camp. We will go back annually as long as health allows us to get there. :)

    How typical of fishermen that a 3-decade old establishment like Rock Island has no Yelp page - if a…read morefisherman isn't bragging, he's keeping secrets (or lying). This place doesn't need much more publicity than word-of-mouth, but hey I'll write a Yelp review in case someone needs convincing. Rock Island Fish Camp rents their six log cabins on the northern shore of Rock Island Lake. Along with the cabin, guests have access to rowboats on multiple trout lakes in the area, from which to catch the Kamloops strain of Rainbow Trout. If you bring a float tube, you'll be able to fish the lakes where no rowboats are maintained; the camp provides scouting reports on some 25 lakes, with boats on 10-15 of them. I've fished 9 of the lakes in the 5 years I've fished here; some have large numbers of small fish, some have smaller numbers of fish with lunkers cruising the depths, and some have a balance of those extremes. The quality of fishing is usually fantastic, as the fish population is large enough to withstand the relatively light fishing pressure. Fly fishing is by far the most common tactic, and this is a great place to teach a beginner how to fish with any tackle. if you are contemplating a trip to Rock Island Fish Camp, it's my opinion that it's best done with a larger group, with no one that doesn't fish. This is no place for spectators, as there is no 4G signal, no wi-fi, no municipality-provided utilities at all. Water must be boiled 5 minutes before drinking and electricity is available for a few hours in the evening while the generator is running at the lodge for supper preparations, laundry, etc. So round up your buddies and go fishing for a few days or a week, turn your phone off, and disappear into the north woods. Visitors should come well-supplied, and arrive in a vehicle with enough ground clearance to travel on forest roads. Bring rain gear and layers of clothing so you can stay comfortable in the heat or cold. Bloodsuckers are a major consideration, as there are lots of Mosquitoes, No-see-ums, deer flies, and horse flies waiting to bite you. Clothing with insect repellent woven in the fabric is a good investment, as are mosquito nets for your bunk and head. If you are a true outdoorsman, you can just let them bite you without complaining; I am not ready to make that step, obviously.

    Great resort! I came here for a friend's wedding and was so pleasantly surprised at how nice the…read moreresort was. The cabins we lived in were new, clean, and well kept. All electronics worked without any problems, the sheets and towels were clean as well. The shower's water pressure was pretty bad, but how can it not be for being in the middle of the mountain. We never got our wireless to work either, but to be honest, it was nice not reading emails and facebook for 2 days! The windy dirt road leading up to the resort was something this city girl was not used to, and the lack of signs for the resort was a little disconcerting as well. But once you get there, the main office where you check in is conveniently located right behind the stone gates where you first enter the resort. The view of the mountain and the lake is magnificent, the food catered at the wedding was delicious, and the activity center was fully equipped with badminton, ping pong, swings, kids play house, bocce ball, soccer, basketball.. etc. Overall, great vacation at a great resort. Highly recommended if you want to get away from reality for a few days.

    Caution: this is a destination location well off the beaten path, and not a quick overnight stop…read more Once you do find it, you're in for a wonderful surprise! It is a meticulously maintained place, with scattered cabins surrounding a small lake and mountains. It feels private, safe, and secluded. The campsite was gorgeous, too. I suggest a stay of a few days - for families, or as a romantic escape. There is only one place to eat, so I would come equipped with some snacks and drinks.
