BC Road Trip stop idea suggestions?

[CaberTosser]

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:

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!
