Lussier hot springs between Cranbrook & Fairmont is a neat stop, it’s how a hot spring should be, just some rocks placed to create a few different temperature pools where the spring discharges into the river. Pretty sure I saw some camping signage & campers nearby but that wasn’t on our itinerary so we didn’t stop aside from visiting the hot springs.
Seems the place might have family daytime & lord knows what @ nighttime, I’m picturing free-spirited nudists & hippies frolicking around under the moonlight

Hi All, still developing our Itinerary, but have made some adjustments based on some friends we will be staying with and some other factors. A revised trip route is slightly modified here:
https://maps.app.goo.gl/YpCXivsW8X5my5pN8
At this point we will be staying in Lumby and Langly at friends places, but are looking for recommendations (either camping spots or pet friendly accommodations) in:
- Pemberton area
- Nakusp area
- Revelstoke area
If anyone has any pointers in those areas that would be most certainly appreciated!

Nakusp has it's own nice little simple and basic campsite right in town. We've stayed there with our dog so we could eat and drink in town without any driving required. https://www.nakuspcampground.ca/
About a half hour out of Pemberon is a nice campground on Birkenhead lake. The lake is beautiful, decent fishing, good mountain biking.

Not a bad idea to have a few alternate route plans in case of wood smoke which has been a regular summer event for the last several years in BC and it has already begun .

Very good point. Unfortunately I think we're going to have a big fire season again in AB / BC. Appreciate you posting the link!

Not far from the needles ferry there is a place called Steven’s creek rec site on whatshan lake. No cost. And won’t disappoint

Whistler is an impressive place, summer and winter.
If you're in no rush take 99 north from Whistler to Pemberton, Lillooet, Marble Canyon Provincial Park.
Just make sure your brakes are in good shape!

I think one of our stops is going to be between Pemberton and Lillooet, then on to Lumby the next day.
Looks like there are a few BC hydro sites and private campgrounds. Not much on the provincial parks reservation site.

Howdy - just bumping this thread because I can.
I think we have some spots found in the first part of the trip but definitely looking for some places between Lumby and Revelstoke taking the south path.
I've had some really neat PM's which I appreciate.
I'll share any info for those taking a similar trip down the road.
