Just two places, it’s a rec site above falls. However, this place come with a job 😅 Every 10 mins, people stopped by to look for a trail to waterfalls, so all afternoon we were guides. I put a sign at the beginning of the rec site…it helped little bit but you won’t be alone here 😁

official free BC rec site with 2 spots. the better view spot we got but arrived at 4pm on a Tuesday. was lots of people that came by later and didn't get spots as it had filled up.
it is true lots of people think there is a walk that starts from this rec site to wapta falls. the actual walk starts at Fraser creek rec site another few km down the road! we weren't bothered too much by visitors and just had nice chats with them!
amazing view but no direct water access

Beau spot met il y a beaucoup de touristes qui vienne voir la chute

Amazing spot. Beautiful view and white noise from the waterfall. However be prepared for tourists. Every day upwards of 20 people come by asking if it's the hiking trail, and many will want to walk through your campsite to take a look. We even had multiple people pull right into the campsite and walk through to look at the falls without asking or saying hi. many tourists treat it as a public viewpoint despite the clear signs that it's a campsite. at first it was fine and I was happy to redirect people/let them see the view, but after the 10th visitor in an hour it got old.

bookmarking for later... happy camping! 🏕️

correction, there are to bigger sites with a picnic table, and it seems like someone was tenting in the woods between the two sites, there is a firepit all three places.

As cool as the other reviews say. No problem with our 24ft RV. We had the place to our self at this time. There is one pinic table, which have been moved. So hard to see how we could fit more vans/RVs without wanting to share, if all should be level.

Amazing place, in believable view of falls.
Only two sites at this rec site and the first has the view.
We scored and then had a few people stop to say hi (sneak a peak) and take pics.

Awesome spot with amazing views highly recommended

MOSQUITO CENTRAL! The view of the falls were great, but we mainly sheltered in the RRT due to insane amount of blood suckers in the area. While the views were nice, we'd recommend finding a spot along the water after the bridge early on. You'll get a few tourists asking how to get to the falls and a fair amount fo people also looking for camping spots. (there were only maybe 2? at this location).

Stellplatz mit unbeschreiblicher Aussicht auf die Wapta Falls und die Berge im Hintergrund.
2 Stellplätze für größere Camper. Picknicktisch (nicht mehr der neueste) und Feuerring am Platz, sogar Feuerholz. Pit Toilet ist sauber und gepflegt, mitten im Wald gegenüber den Stellplätzen.
Achtung Gravel Road und kleine Brücken sind nichts für riesige Camper! Wir waren mit einem Truck Camper (4x4) unterwegs. Das ging einigermaßen gut.

Amazing location at Wapta Falls Recreation Sites. There are only two sites and one makeshift one and a pit toilet. Sites have picnic tables, fire pits and amazing views of the Wapta Falls and mountains. What a gem!

Nice view, pit toilet and fire pits, lots of mosquitos tho

Super busy a month ago (several groups for only 2 spots), we came back in mid-September and managed to get the second spot as it was super quiet. Great to wake up with the sound of waterfalls, it was pretty cold in the morning, but we found a lot of dry wood to burn. Perfect!

Really gorgeous spot. One of our favorites. 4x4 is ideal as it was muddy

Busy place with a great view. More space by the river, but worth at least talking a look at the view.

Great view nice place! Both places are not very flat but everything else is perfect!

The view is beautiful as promised but there are only two real "campsites" here unless people are willing to share. I was here on the long weekend and there were tourists every hour asking how to get to the Wapta Falls trailhead. I actually preferred camping at the spot by the river closer to the highway.

Only few Places and 20min drive on gravel road. but very nice view and pit-toilet:)

Only 2 camping spots here, but they are both big enough to consider sharing with fellow travelers. (As others have mentioned, there is a 3rd “spot” but it has no view, is very small and steeply angled. Not very usable) PS: bring bug deterrents as there are tons of mosquitos!

We got here mid-day and got one of the two spots. It was a rainy day and the one entrance/exit was a pretty deep mud puddle. The other entrance/exit was completely fine. Was able to make it here in my Ford Transit fine. You can get here in a car if you wanted. There are pit toilets and fire pits.

It’s actually a really nice place. But you have to be early.

Although we didn't sleep here, we came by during the day and the place is amazing, such a great views. We managed to get a good spot around noon. It was pretty calm and with empty spots at around 5pm when we left. There is definitely room for more people here, it just depends on how people park and if they are willing to be nice.

Stunning view. Worth getting there early, I manage to get the last spare spot & a few people drove past afterwards. Take some deet and some beers, sit back & enjoy.
