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.

This is our second year staying at Tunkwa Lake Resort for some holiday ice fishing. We've stayed at…read moreRustic Cabins 7A and 1, and I prefer 7A for the added space and seclusion from neighbours. 7A is a short 5 min walk from the shower house/washrooms which lets you appreciate the starry night sky and catch a glimpse of the snow hares that hop by the solar panels. If you don't want to walk, you can drive and park by the front office lot. Showerhouse: super clean, warm, spacious, flush toilets, hot showers, tap to fill up on water as the rustic cabins don't have running water. Rustic cabins: Full size fridge, oven, gas stove, electricity, wood stove (for heat). 7A doesn't have extra outlets so we had to unplug the oven to charge cell phones etc. Fully stocked with plates/bowls/cutlery/pots/pans/paper towels/dish soap. Bring your own bedding and food. Fishing is a love/hate relationship - its a bit of a tricky lake to get a hang of but the regulars love it and come back every year. Might want to have at least AWD coming in as its quite hilly and snowy but we did peep a civic parked at the front office lot. Richard/Debbie and the crew are very friendly and helpful.

Avoid working with Bear Country Vacation Rentals! God forbid you or your family get sick and you…read moreneed to change your reservations. You will be told "no" and they will keep your money ... in our case $2800. Wish we had realized what we had committed to when we booked back in October for a New Year Ski Trip. They required full amount within 30-days of arrival, then the property manager was unwilling to work with us after our family came down with COVID over Christmas. VRBO and Air B&B offer larger (~1,000+ sq ft) accommodations with private hot tubs, and modernized ski-in/ski-out locations for the same price if not less which I wish we had done instead of working with Bear Country. We looked at their 10+ yr old videos online and saw just how itty bitty and out dated their accommodations were that average ~550 sq ft with a community hot tub. EW. We booked 3 days of lift tickets, ice-fishing trip, and horse drawn carriage ride and everyone except Bear Country worked with us to reschedule our reservations for the end of Jan 2023. Greed over Customer Service loses every time. We'll never work with Bear Country EVER again and we've shared this with the skiing community in the greater Seattle, BC, Colorado, Texas, California, and everything in-between both family and friends. Only book here if you're really hard up, and pray you don't have an issue showing up, as they will keep your money. AVOID!
