STAY & PLAY
Along the Gold Rush Snowmobile Trail (GRST), there are many places to enjoy some much needed rest and relaxation. No matter if you prefer roughing it in the great outdoors or having a roof over your head at night, you will find the right accommodations for you. You can camp virtually anywhere along the GRST, or if you seek more comfortable accommodations, you can stop in a community along the trail.

CAMPING
Of course, camping is a lower cost option than accommodations which offer numerous amenities. In theory, you could sleep under the stars or set up a tent along the Gold Rush Snowmobile Trail (GRST).

  1. You are more than welcome to set up camp alongside the trail. Please be advised that, for safety reasons, we ask that you do not camp on the actual trail. People riding snowmobiles and ATVs may travel the GRST at any time, day or night.
  2. Additionally, if you will be camping along the trail, please check the current local fire regulations for information as there may be fire bans in effect. Please remember that leaving litter in British Columbia’s forests is illegal and is a finable offence. The best practice is to pack out what you pack in.

Valentine Lake, Helena Lake, Rail Lake, Spout Lake, and Two Mile Lake also offer established recreation campsites, which are pay per use, for those seeking a little more comfort. If you are planning to stay in a recreation campsite, we encourage you to do some research and find out what these campsites have to offer as the amenities at each will vary. Many other lakes in the area along the GRST also have unofficial camping areas for you to enjoy.

LODGING
Cabins and lodges have a higher cost than camping, but offer more amenities for your enjoyment. Typically, when you stay in a cabin, you do not need to bring anything other than your own food and toiletries. In lodges, food is usually provided. Most cabins and lodges will have shower facilities. You might also consider staying at a quaint bed and breakfast during your Gold Rush Snowmobile Trail (GRST) adventure. The best way to be sure what is or is not included in your stay is to confirm upon reservation.

Cabins and/or lodging may be found in the GRST locations of 70 Mile House, 100 Mile House, 108 Mile House, Spout Lake, Two Mile Lake, and Horsefly. The communities of 70 Mile House, 100 Mile House, 108 Mile House, and Horsefly each also have at least one motel and/or hotel. Bed and breakfasts can be found in 70 Mile House, 100 Mile House, 108 Mile House, and Horsefly. Please be advised that accommodations at each facility will vary, so we recommend that you do some research to find a place that will best suit your needs.
