We camped here in August before going on our canoe trip to Murtle Lake. The couple who run the place are super friendly and service oriented. The campground is set up with a full kitchen which is great for those who are tenting. Showers are great, bathrooms are very clean, and full laundry services are available. They graciously allowed us to store our camper there while on our canoe trip and to use the showers upon our return before we headed out. Both very much appreciated. We’d definitely recommend this place and would use it again if in the area. There is a bit of traffic noise as it’s close to the highway but it didn’t disrupt our sleep.

We were pleasantly surprised by Blue River Campground & RV Park. Traveling as a family of six on our way to Vancouver, we felt incredibly welcomed. The owners are warm and friendly, the atmosphere is authentic and serene, and everything is well cared for. Before visiting, we had read a few negative reviews and honestly wondered what to expect. But our own experience couldn’t have been more different. Sometimes the most sincere and heartfelt places are overlooked or misunderstood, and Blue River Campground is a perfect example. If you’re looking for a serene, welcoming, and truly genuine place to relax and recharge during your trip, this is it. We left with gratitude and would happily return again. Raf (BE)

Quiet campground close to a lovely lake and beach area to take kiddos to. The campground had a bathroom with free showers for guests to use! Another really nice feature was the public kitchen and sink available to use! It was great for doing our dishes. Our toddler also LOVED the two sandpits filled with toys. Not the most privacy between sites, but we would definitely come again.

We stayed here for two nights and rented a canoe for 6 days to be on Murtle lake. The campground has large capacity for tents and RVs as well as several cabins that are reasonably priced. The free shower and the kitchen were very convenient. The owners are friendly and flexible whenever possible to meet our needs. It has playground for little kids to play in.

We had a travel trailer so the hot showers and laundry were a great bonus on our trip. The people that worked there were very friendly and helpful. She even switched my laundry from washer to dryer. I'd stay again. Great food 2 min walk away.
Rebel V — Google review
We absolutely love it here. They have full kitchen in a covered gazebo with pots, pans, plates, a coffee maker, fridge, stove. So I don't need to pack anything but my food! The service is amazing, they are kind and helpful. They really care about the campers and their camp! Real bathrooms and showers. Plus, really close to great hiking trails and a short drive several waterfall hiking trails

It is hard for people who have made this place what it is today to get rid of the negative ratings from years ago. It is clean, well cared for, water and electricity are properly installed, they have a fantastic shared kitchen space. There are mosquitoes, not much they can do about that, it is close to the highway and the occasional train makes itself heard when it passes, that was less of an issue than I I initially thought it would be. It was an unplanned stop for us, but I would have no issues making it a planned one next time we are out this way. The people running the campground are super friendly and helpful.

Some friends and I stayed at Blue River Campground on our way to Jasper from Oregon. We were very happy with our accommodations in 2 of the cabins, and were greeted by very friendly hosts upon arrival. Amenities were great, hard to beat a hot shower when you're camping. Location was ok, wish there was more within walking distance, but otherwise a great place, especially if you're just passing through. Would stay here again.

This place is an absolute hidden gem, and we are so grateful to have found it! We've stayed at the resort a handful of times now, and are consistently blown away by this magaical place! Most recently we celebrated our wedding here with 40 of our closest friends and family, and to say it was perfect would be an understatement. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that our wedding came together flawlessly. The food was delicious, the service was impeccable, and the venue cannot be beat! It is one of the most peaceful and magical spots we've ever been to. The cabins are rustic luxury at its finest, the lake, the sandy beach, the beautiful forest, the wood burning fireplaces... I could go on and on. If you haven't been here, do yourself a favour and check it out!

A super cute place to stay while passing through BC! The rooms are nice and cozy, would be fun for a getaway with friends. Everything smelled really good too. The bathrooms were also nicely renovated.
Megan B — Google review
We were there for 4 days for a wedding. We loved it. So peaceful with such gorgeous grounds. Our Log Chalet was comfortable with a lovely wood burning fireplace, comfortable bed, lots of wood, good water etc. The resort catered the wedding and the food was certainly the best we've had at a wedding. The staff was very warm, professional and kind. I can imagine how amazing this place would be in the winter with heli-skiing thrown in! Wow! If you want a destination wedding but don't want flight expenses too, this would be the place to go. We will go back.

This place is the bees knees! Staying here on our way to Shuswap and wishing we stayed more nights. The rooms are full log cabin chalets! There is a lake with a full sand beach in the mountains ! and lots of walking trails. A restaurant, and unreal views. Friendly staff and lots of room for activities for the Fam. This is going to be our stop every year. I've driven past this place countless times and am so glad we finally stopped. A total hidden gem. 10/10

We attended a weekend wedding event here and stayed 3 nights. What an amazing venue, absolutely stunning! This place is so serene and gorgeous views. The lake is clear and nice sandy beach with docks. Group booking rates were really good as well. Highly recommend for a wedding venue, family reunion or any summer event! You won't be sorry!

The impression given by the workers was that seeing a bear is a sure thing. In fact we did not see any bears. The salling was nice and the instructor was friendly. The price was 125 Canadian dolars. I would not pay this price if I knew that it is not sure to see bears.

(Translated by Google) the only place where we saw a black bear in a journey of 2500km to the west (British Columbia and Alberta) and 2000km to the east (Quebec) of Canada! THANKS.

(Translated by Google) Did a two-hour safari, but unfortunately only saw one bear, and that too for a very short time. No chance for a photo. Beautiful park. Super staff and lots of hummingbirds. (Original) Twee uur safarie gedaan, maar helaas maar één beer gezien, en ook nog heel kort. Geen kans voor een foto. Prachtig park. Super staf en veel kolibries.

Great place to stop by on your way to Golden. Limited parking space. Also, can't turn left if you're heading back to the highway.
