Elk Valley Lodge - Elkford, British Columbia

Difficult to sleep, harder to select edible lunch and dinner choices. Very little to choose from for snacks. Sandwiches are not worth trying. Vegetables are few and far between, apples are tasteless.
Working night shift cleaning staff hangs out in rooms, on phone, tv banging around. Bring your own shower towel, hand towel, bath mat. Shared toilet and shower that has not been scrubbed ever.

Front desk staff is friendly and helpful.

Best place !
Rooms small, tv also. But food is great, gym is big (if you compare between hotel gym is nothing), cinema, billard and many other things to do. I can close eyes on small room and tiny tv. Shover and toilet shareable with another room.
For me it's better than 3-4 star hotel.

This is a great place to stay if you’re accustomed to filth. Been in lots of camps over the years and only one has been dirtier than this but at least the food was decent.
Elk valley.
Food? Fail…
Lunches? Massive fail. Absolutely Shameful.
Cleanliness? Gross. Floors are ALWAYS dirty. The shared showers are great if you enjoy listening to your neighbour blow his snot on the filthy stained shower curtain and booger speckled walls. Mattresses are terrible but at least you can bring your own pillow. Just come prepared to have diarrhea at least once per week. Great if your preference is living in squalor. ATCO usually runs a tight ship but this one sunk years ago. I’m giving it two stars because I know there’s worse than this. It’s especially depressing when you spend more time here than your own home. Bring Lysol disinfectant spray for every light switch, door handle desktop and anything else you are forced to touch. DO NOT BRING A BLUE FORENSICS LIGHT!!! The light is cheap but the psychiatric therapy will cost you a fortune!!!

Friendly staff members and a nice view of the mountains is the only thing 5 star about this place.

Walls are thin, you can hear everyone fighting and arguing with their spouses. Bathrooms are grimy.
Some shifts I got lucky with some decent clean rooms. If you can request to share Jack and Jill with co-worker or someone you know makes it much better.

Breakfast is the best meal. Lunches and sandwiches are bad. Some dinners were good like Thanksgiving turkey. Gym is small with limited equipment and weights.

For how much money Teck makes they should treat their workers with better food and camp experience.

Good luck getting a decent nights rest in this camp. You sleep when your neighbour decides if not prepared. Otherwise the food can be good and the staff being polite. The main problem is the hygiene and lack of personal space with the thin walls and shared bathroom.

Worst camp I've ever stayed in, been in different camps for the last 15 years or so and thought I'd seen the worst of them until now. Doesn’t look like this place has had any upkeep or maintenance since it opened, the staff is rude and the food is terrible. Nevermind the paper thin walls that you can hear your neighbors breathing through and punched out mattresses. Would give zero stars if possible.

The place is nice however I heard people in the hallway drunk as f. For 4 days straight. I got kicked out because security looked into my wife’s car in the parking lot at night and found a few empty seltzer cans. Weren’t even my cans but regardless.

I give the kitchen 5 stars..but bring your own towels and stuff to clean your room. Pillows and maybe a memory foam for your bed. I hate to give a bad review but the housekeepers are overwhelmed because there are not enough of them so ill say that..but its not a clean environment ESPECIALLY with the viruses and germs going around.many are sick. 2 quarantined in my dorm.

Leave your shoes on at all times. I couldn't explain enough to tell anyone about the floors in the dorm hallways.

Beautiful area and Wild Life. The "Town of Elkford rocks!! ..⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Lots of things close by, golf, water. A few restaurants and pubs. Horses across the road, Elk walking through the parking lot.
Couldn't ask for better views up the mountain 🌈
