Is there camping at Halfway?<\/h5>\n\t\t\t

Yes there is!\u00a0 Halfway is a rec site that is maintained by BC Parks.\u00a0 There are 20 vehicle accessible camping sites and 20+ hike in sites as well as numerous overflow sites scattered throughout the area.\u00a0 The site is maintained and very well cared for by Bob Moody.\u00a0 There is a $15 per day camping fee which is in effect from May 1 – Oct. 31.\u00a0 See here for more details<\/a>.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Is Halfway accessible during winter?<\/h5>\n\t\t\t

According to popular opinion, winter is arguably the best time to visit Halfway.\u00a0 However, the road is almost never traversable from late November until as late as April.\u00a0 Many visitors access Halfway during the winter by hiking, snowshoeing or snowmobiling in.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Even if the road is drivable, winter conditions can change very fast which has resulted in people being stranded so please exercise caution when attempting to drive up to the springs.\u00a0<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Are there change facilities at Halfway?<\/h5>\n\t\t\t

Yes there are!\u00a0 Bob has built a great cedar building with two rooms for visitors to change in and there are hangers on the outside deck that is covered to store your stuff while relaxing in the springs.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

What should we bring for a day trip to Halfway?<\/h5>\n\t\t\t

Food, water, good hiking shoes and of course, your swim gear.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A great Halfway insider tip is to wear water shoes as well.\u00a0 This makes walking over the rocks down at the river pools much easier – especially if you want to venture into the river for a nice cold plunge.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

How are the bugs at Halfway?<\/h5>\n\t\t\t

Depending on the time of year, they’re tolerable.\u00a0 Mosquitos are less than most people anticipate and the biggest complaint with regards to insects is the horse flies.\u00a0 Bringing good bug repellant is never a bad idea when venturing out into the back country.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

How do you get to Halfway Hot Springs?<\/h5>\n\t\t\t

Halfway is 11km up Halfway River FSR off Highway 23 between Nakusp and Halcyon Hot Springs Resort.\u00a0 For more detailed directions, please visit our comprehensive directions page here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Are there washrooms?<\/h5>\n\t\t\t

There are numerous out houses in the camp ground as well as down at the springs.\u00a0 From May 1 – Oct 31, they are cleaned and maintained regularly by Bob and the other folks who help him.\u00a0 We recommend bringing your own toilet paper – especially in the off season when it is not being maintained.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

And please take care to keep the place clean.\u00a0 Pack out what you pack in and please respect the people who work hard to keep this place pristine and well maintained.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Does it cost money to use the springs?<\/h5>\n\t\t\t

At this time, day use is free and it’s never a bad idea to bring a tip for Bob and team who more than deserve it for the amazing work they have put in to bring Halfway to the condition that it is and continues to be \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
