This place left a lasting impression on my impromptu trip to Canada. The road was a bit long and arduous, but the scenery was beautiful, and I was in a good mood. The resort had an old-fashioned feel, but it had everything I needed, and I especially enjoyed the quietness. I'll never forget the countless stars in the sky at night. I also had dinner at the resort, and the burger and chicken were quite good. Next time, if I have time, I'd like to stay longer.

We stayed in a standard cabin for 2 nights as our son and daughter-in-law got married on Sept. 27. The ceremony was at Lightning Lake, which was a very stunning site. The accommodation, service and wedding venue were amazing. The outdoor seating at the Alpine Room was a bonus and they had patio heaters (we brought a few blankets). The meal was delicious and the staff were very accommodating. A perfect evening in a beautiful setting. So impressive!

Manning Park is such a gem. The scenery is unreal — mountains, trails, and lakes that look straight out of a postcard. It’s the perfect mix of chill and adventure: you can hike, camp, ski, or just hang out and take in the views. The atmosphere is super laid-back, and it never feels overly crowded, which makes it even better. Definitely one of those spots you go to once

I booked one night here as I had always wanted to see the area. Although wildfires were burning nearby, the smoke was not too bad. Basic room was clean, service was helpful and a takeout meal at the nearby Cafe was tasty and priced right. The highway #3 drive from Hope BC through Manning Park and on to Princeton is beautiful. I would stay here again. It is a rustic, lovely spot and there are alot of hiking trails around if you can stay a few nights to enjoy the area.

Stopped to get snack and use washroom. Excellent service and I even got a stone bracelet for 20 bucks! Not 40! Semi precious stones but gorgeous all the same. Snacks were not too outrageous in price either.

Imagine seeing ground squirrels, wild chickens, and the beautiful stars in the night sky on just a 2 hour ride from Coquitlam! Those views are all available at manning park with their massive lightning lake, and Cascade mountain park.

My family did a lot of road trips this summer holiday, and this trip at Manning park is considerably the best of them. The resort has central AC (not the cabins) which gives a quiet room for sleeping compared to those at Kamloops. Kayaking in the summer times at lightning lake is highly recommended, tourists can rent canoes, kayaks, or surfboards, at a descent amount of price.

During night time, tourists can enjoy the night sky and the stars of Milky Way at viewpoints of Cascade mountain park, but be aware that the gate closes at around 11:00 pm, if you’re not ready to camp on the mountain, then it’s highly recommended that you return to the resort at 10:30 pm.

The foods wonderful, and wildlife such as ground squirrels and wild birds are fascinating! Highly recommended to check out this park!

A good place to stop to stretch the legs. Interesting info and things to see.

Amazing location to explore the park! The beds are comfortable in the room.

The hot tub and pool was nice and it closing at 10:00 p.m. it's great to allow you to soak in the hot tub after your adventures.

Service was also great. In the main lodgings there is no elevator. Since I was on the second floor staff helped carry my bags up for me.

My only complaint is the spring water has lots of minerals in and can be a little hard on the stomach if you're not used to it. If you're used to soft water, bring your own to drink.

Clean, spacious rooms in the resort. Good rec room with pool, ping pong, and foosball to entertain the kids. Friendly staff. Lightning Lake was peaceful during the day and it would make your jaw drop at night.

Cabins are roomy, clean and laid out well. The restaurant was a pleasant surprise, so many GF options + safe fryer, servers are knowledgeable and friendly. 4 minute drive to lightning lake. Can’t wait to come back next year!

Love going to Manning Park Lodge and Resort, why? Because it is a hidden gem in the Upper Similkameen river valley very close to the Fraser Valley and Lower Mainland, with tons of history, things to do and see, friendly helpful service, and there are not huge crowds everywhere. It is more of a true Provincial Park experience versus some of the mega tourism centres in British Columbia. The gophers are super cute at Lightning Lake as well in the summer months. They have a full complete gym including an Olympic squat rack, swimming pool, hot tubs, and different types of saunas. Great value overall. Please keep in mind that they have seasonal staff who are usually new to their jobs, so try to have patience with people in that way. Go with an open mind, leave with a full heart.

Impressive Campground – Clean, Well-Maintained, and Peaceful

This is a very well-maintained and clean campground—truly one of the best I’ve visited. It was the first time I’ve come across pit toilets that are completely odor-free, which speaks volumes about the high standards of cleanliness.

The campground staff are exceptionally friendly and dedicated. They clearly take pride in keeping the grounds and individual campsites in excellent condition. Each site is equipped with a picnic table and fire pit, and is thoughtfully spaced and surrounded by trees, offering a sense of privacy despite the campground’s popularity.

Water taps are conveniently located nearby, so there's no need to arrive with a full tank in your RV or trailer. Generator hours are standard: 9:00–11:00 AM and 6:00–8:00 PM. Showers are available, and there's a short walk to the lake where canoe rentals are offered—a great way to enjoy the surroundings.

The sani-dump station is located approximately 1 km east on the highway, just before the visitor center. Note: a fee is required to use it. The right-side lane lacks a male hose connector and sometimes fails to accept loonies, but the left-side unit functions properly.

Overall, a great experience—highly recommended for anyone seeking a clean, well-organized, and peaceful camping destination.

Great place to stay in the winter. And also a great stop passing through for a break and snacks. Rooms are dated but the price is right and the service is great. We love coming her to get out into nature.

We took our family for an overnight stay and ski. We loved it and will return! Beautiful location and good value for money and fun experience. Some of the buildings are newer and some are worn. We enjoyed our experience at the restaurant, skiing, swimming and the shuttle. Met some lovely employees who loved their jobs!! So refreshing! Thank you!

Gorgeous location filled with lots of information! Highly helpful and a great place to stop and have a picnic if that’s what you like. I’ll definitely be visiting here again! Also lots of info on good homes and history of the park. I would recommend to bring some sandwiches and drinks and make a nice stop of it while travelling through the park to the Okanagan and beyond.

We were camping nearby when it was 35+ for 2 days straight - very thankful to have a source of ice nearby for our poor cooler!

Really appreciated the rigorous COVID protocols that were being enforced at the store despite some @$$hats feeling like they shouldn't have to wait in a lineup like everyone else.
The staff was nothing but professional in the face of some pretty juvenile and ignorant behaviour coming from aforementioned @$$hats.
Good selection of things you might have forgotten too 😁

ALPINE MEADOW TRAIL.
Not avid hikers, we opted to drive to the top and hike the trails there.
It was August, hot, hazy and some distant wildfires, but spectacular.
Bring some nuts along to feed the ground squirrels at the 1/2 way lookout point. They are super cute and friendly.
