Skihist Provincial Park

Cash only! This is a gorgeous spot - really well kept, treed sites. Nothing fancy but clean bathrooms and a beautiful pine forest.

The view from the parking lot on the Trans-Canada is absolutely stunning. Especially if there is a train going by along the opposite side of the river. Beautiful view of the mountains, river and canyon.

Off the highway up a hill so very peaceful. Not highway or train noise. The Ponderosa Pine trees smell like vanilla or butterscotch. Their bark that is!

We stayed for 2 nights May long weekend. The campsite is beautiful and has a lot of spots. Surprisingly, even during the long weekend, there were still spots left. We got lucky and had one of the spots close to the cliff overlooking the river. They have flushing toilets and the campground was very clean overall. People running the camp were very nice and friendly, 23$/night, cash only, bundle of firewood was 12$. The only downside was the wind. It was constantly windy for our entire stay, with a few strong gusts. Apparently, this is normal in the area during the spring. I didn't mind the trains, actually, I felt like it added to the atmosphere. Traffic from the highway wasn't bad at all in my opinion. Would definitely go back at some point.

Gorgeous park, warm weather, great placement for an overnight rest. Park host was a bit curt, but she keeps the park amazingly clean and beautifully decorated with flowers and lights. There are flush toilets and cold water sinks with soap, but no way to dry your hands so bring a towel! Cold water rinse-off showers are provided, and water taps and refuse bins are well distributed throughout the area. Camp sites are spaced out well and nicely sized. Only insect pest we had a problem with were wasps; there are huge swarms of them and they can get aggressive. At night, the stars blanketed the sky in a wonderous display you will never see near a city. Across the highway from the campground is the picnic area and Thompson Canyon overlook... GORGEOUS. We will definitely return!
