When we drove up we were allowed to check out the sites and there was quite a variety considering how small it seemed overall We were in site #8 and if you have a choice (and capable vehicle) I strongly suggest spot 7 or 8. They are tucked away right beside a path down to the lake. Amazing views all around. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is that some of the spots seemed close together (perhaps for group camping) and had I ended up in one of those on a busy weekend I would have been quite disappointed-spots 7 and 8 get 5 stars though!!! They have really nice, clean, and surprisingly well stocked bathrooms although only 1 for each sex so on a busy weekend may not be the best but I was expecting May Long to be busy so maybe this is just a hidden gem. Super close to Ainsworth Hot Springs and even closer to the lake.

My wife and I spent two wonderful and relaxing nights. The lake location is wonderful. The owners…read morewere very concerned with our well being.

The current new owners are very mean and abusive and controlling. Reservations for a family…read moregathering were made Oct 2014 and I asked for all the costs. 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.

Review Visit: July 17th, 2015…read more I have quite warmed up to the fact that Hot Springs are the best thing ever. Banff Upper Hot Springs is where I got my first taste. A few days later, we finally decided to do something besides explore Nakusp. We got everyone on the same page and headed towards Nakusp Hot Springs. Anticipations were high as everyone was ready for more relaxation and soothing scorching hot water. As we rolled up and got out of the van, the first thing I noticed is how quiet it was. Banff National Park is a really tourist-heavy area. Firstly, we had trouble parking due to the volume of people. Then, the pool was decently filled with people. But not here. The lot was nearly empty and there wasn't anybody in sight. The girls beat us in as they were more excited about it than us adults. Inside, it was apparent that it was a slow day for them. There was no line and before we knew it, we paid, changed clothes and were dipping our toes in the hot water. The water here was about the same temperate as the other hot spring. Its just hot enough to make you wonder if this is a good idea or not. After awhile, you body adjusts to it and you kind of just melt. Not literally, of course. As I expected, there were only a handful of people in the hot spring. This was great as the pool here was a bit smaller than the other. There was also a hotter spring next to the main pool that held the hotter water. Of course, we jumped in there after awhile. But again, we could only be in the hotter one for a short while as it will make you feel dehydrated and light-headed. It wouldn't be a trip to the hot springs if I didn't get out and do the cold shower during our time at this one. It was cold. It was intense. It was worth it. I convinced my cousin to do it as well and he was none-too-pleased after the fact. Everyone got a good laugh out of it. Overall, it was a good and relaxing experience before we all got geared up for the wedding that was a few days after this. I got my first taste of a hot spring in Banff. I fell in love with them in Nakusp.

If you're looking for glacial lakes and alpine vistas, come here. The moderately rated 4 km trail…read morethat starts from Gibson Lake at the parking lot to Kokanee Lake offers some terrific alpine access and will make you feel as though you're stepping onto the edge of Alaska (but a bit more tame). You can continue on to the Glacier via Keyhole Trail (steep) or take a day to round the mountain and camp out. Wildflowers are vibrant in mid to late summer and numerous waterfalls intersect the trail. You might consider carrying bug spray to fend off a few mosquitoes near the lakes, but the views are certainly worth it! Make sure if you are staying overnight that you use the provided chicken wire to surround your car -- the porcupines apparently have a hankering for brake lines. Have never had a problem leaving mine unprotected during the day! Make sure that your car is higher clearance and that the wheels are all ready for adventure! You don't need a 4WD car at all, but you might feel like you wish you had a truck at times (depending on condition). I've driven it in a lower Mazda 3 and almost considered turning around. Definitely worth it, though!
