How to Get There

Basecamp Resorts has properties in both Revelstoke and Canmore, with more locations to come! We visited their new property in Revelstoke which is less than a year old, and we already can’t wait to see the others. The town of Revelstoke is about a 6 hour drive from Vancouver, and about 4.5 hours from Calgary. Sitting between the Selkirk and Monashee mountains, it’s an adorable ski town with gorgeous views. We highly recommend driving to Revelstoke so you can fully experience BC’s natural beauty!

The Resort 

Basecamp is a boutique resort, just outside downtown Revelstoke. The property is right on the river with beautiful views, and the most notable amenity is a gorgeous rooftop hot tub! The staff gives you plenty of space to relax and enjoy your time, and we loved how much privacy the guests have. There’s a big grassy area with plenty of space to walk around and enjoy the fresh air, and it’s very close to town if you feel like jumping in your car to go on an adventure. Basecamp Resorts also offers pet-friendly accommodations which we love, so you can bring your fur baby along with you! Theo came with us for our visit and absolutely loved it, we highly recommend bringing along your furry family members to this spot.

The Rooms

All of the accommodations at the resort are private apartments, with studio, one bedroom, two bedroom, three bedroom, and even five-six bedroom options. Basecamp can accommodate large groups comfortably so it’s perfect for everyone including couples, big families, groups of friends, etc. We stayed in a two bedroom apartment which had a full kitchen, a huge living room, three bathrooms, and lots of space to unpack and settle in. We highly recommend this style of resort if you’re looking for something more comfortable than a hotel room. If you want to do some cooking or you need to get some work done, it’s so nice to have the extra space! We absolutely loved the privacy and how well-equipped the apartment was, it was a perfect place to rest and recharge. If you’re looking for a cozy mountain getaway in BC, you won’t be disappointed booking here! 

The Town of Revelstoke

Revelstoke has tons of great adventure activities if you are looking to venture out. Depending on the season there’s hiking, mountain biking, skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, and more! It’s a charming little town and even if you’re looking for a relaxing vacation, we recommend at least heading downtown for dinner or a drink one evening during your stay. 

We felt completely safe and comfortable exploring Revelstoke as a same-sex couple. We saw rainbow flags in the local shop windows, and all the locals we chatted with were really friendly and welcoming. We can definitely recommend this spot to other LGBTQ+ travellers as a safe and inclusive community to visit!
