Nakusp Hot Springs Chalets & Campground
Nestled in the Kuskanax Valley in the foothills of the Selkirk Mountains, the Nakusp Hot Springs are one of BC's best kept secrets! When your daily adventures are complete, you can relax and refresh in the naturally cleanest and clearest hot springs anywhere, and enjoy a stay at our comfortable, clean, yet rustic "Back Country Plus" Cedar Chalets.

In the summer you can stay in our lovely Campground beside Kuskanax Creek. We proudly say there is something for everyone at the Nakusp Hot Springs. Relax in our spacious creekside RV and tenting campground, or one of the comfy Cedar Chalets, just steps away from the hot spring pools. Be sure to make your reservations early as it's a hot spot for camping.

Come and enjoy a pristine outdoor experience in a beautiful natural setting. The Nakusp Hot Springs are nestled in the Kuskanax Valley in the foothills of the Selkirk Mountains and are one of BC's best kept secrets! When your daily adventures are complete, you can relax and refresh in the naturally cleanest and clearest Hot Springs anywhere, and enjoy a stay at our comfortable, clean, yet rustic "Back Country Plus" Cedar Chalets.
At this time the Provincial Health Order (PHO) does not require pools to show proof of vaccination upon entrance. However, this could change and the Nakusp Hot Springs will follow the requirements of the PHO accordingly as the Village of Nakusp is the owner and operator of the Nakusp Hot Springs. Please note the Village of Nakusp is required to follow Provincial and Regional Health Orders, as mandated under the Public Health Act.
The village of Nakusp is located in the Arrow Lakes valley, and is characterized by incredible beauty, no matter what direction you are coming from. The adventure is in getting here, so be prepared for mountain vistas, deep clear waters, and remarkable forests. Be sure to allow extra time for weather conditions, ferry schedules, and border crossings where applicable.
Our water is some of the cleanest natural spring water around, and does not receive any treatment other than filtration and what is required to ensure there is no risk to the health of our patrons before entering the pools. Our flow rates are some of the highest in North America, with our hot pool completely recycling its water every 30 minutes, and our larger warm pool recycling every 2 hours.

The service was quick and straight forward. Took less than 5 minutes to check in and not crowded at all. Chalets were a bit creaky and old but the springs are great nonetheless.

I'm blown away, an absolute must-see!
These hot springs manage to balance a beautiful, picturesque and serene setting with the comfort and amenities of more commercialized setups.
The facility is a simple, well-designed building with nice changerooms, snacks, towel and lock rental with tons of natural light.
The pools themselves consist of one hot and one warm pool. Both offer in-pool bench seating and amazing views. The vibe while visiting is very relaxing compared busier sites like Radium or Fairmont. A couple of hours will go by very quickly before you know it.
Although we went during covid

Great location and facility. Clean changerooms and nice pools. Chalets are fine but note that the back chalet rooms are quite small. Some staff very nice - others not so much.

Nice campground right next to the hot springs. Limited sites for larger rv's, power only and no cell coverage. Perfect place to disconnect and unwind.

Hot springs were hot and clean. There are two pools of differing temperatures. Change rooms were clean and of adequate size. The beautiful hummingbirds are such a nice addition while relaxing in the pools. Will definitely return.

Really enjoyed our dip in the hot pools after a walk up to Kuskanax falls and the bot springs source. Visited on a Thursday afternoon and it was surprisingly quiet. Staff are friendly. Kids 5 and under are free. Worth the trip up the mountain.

Quite enjoyed the soak. Have been here many times. Not too crowded, but didn't enjoy the kids who treated it like a pool and were splashing (takes the relaxation away for me). Would love to see those spin dryers for swimsuits in the change rooms and more deli selection. Trails up behind to the old hot springs are neat!

Love Nakusp hot springs. Beautiful little camp ground right by a large creek and even a small creek by the tenting side. Fantastic hot pool and bigger warm pool for relaxing or for the kids since they don't tolerate the heat as much.
My favorite part is the ice cold shower. Lots of research shows that going from hot to cold back to hot and repeating this is incredible for your immune system and cardiovascular health. I fell in love with that process here and it is amazing!
Highly recommended.

I've been there 3 times over the years and really want to return! I've camped and stayed in the cabins. Relaxing and enjoyable either way. When I first visited, there was a dirt road, so it's easier these days.
