We didn't have a reservation and ended up in the overflow area which is a gravel parking lot with no hookups. Did have food boxes and trash receptacles since this was a high bear activity area. Could get water in the camp but it had to be boiled. Hot springs were nice, but it's a .4 miles walk to get there. Needed a shower afterward there are no showers. Some loud hiway noise even though we were as far away from road as possible.

Got there on May 1, 2024, and really enjoyed the down time after driving the frost heaves on the Alaska Highway. The springs were great. Be warned they are sulfur springs so expect the “rotten egg” odor. Very quiet park. No electricity or hookups. I would stay here on every trip.

Off season - We got in around 7:30pm and there were still a few spots left. We found that Starlink was getting interrupted every few minutes with the amount of trees in the regular spots so we moved to the overflow lot where we could get reliable-enough but not great service. The price is the same for regular lot and overflow $16 in winter $26 in summer. Cash only during the off season (Canadian preferred, American accepted at par). The springs was great and the price is included in the camping price. There we're changing facilities by the water and pit toilets dispersed throughout the camp but no running water. Camp hosts were very friendly and helpful when doing rounds at night.

We arrived mid-week around 1130 and had no trouble finding a spot, I’d say we had our pick of 15+ of the FCFS sites. It was full by late afternoon. Some sites are better than others, but most of them would have been pretty easy to fit our 32’ fifth wheel. Sites had nice vegetation between. Walk to the hot springs was about 10 min, we went twice while we were there.
They accept credit card with a $2 transaction fee, or cash. Overflow had quite a few ppl in it when we left the next morning. Seemed like a lot of turnover each day, I wouldn’t plan on spending more than one day myself.

Campground in surrounded by electric fence with gates that close at 10pm and open at 7am. The hot springs are outside of the fence so bring bear spray.
Some sites are challenging to get into if your rig is long like mine and roads are not wide so it may take some back and forth to get in. Several are sloped toward the road, so it's a crap shoot as to which one you get.
Walk on past the hot springs, up the board walk to the hanging gardens, it's worth the extra short hike up the stairs.
Starlink was a challenge with obstructions due to the trees but I'll take trees any day to spend time at this wonderful stress reducing place.

We did not have reservations but knew there were some FCFS sites. We arrived about 9:00 and the attendent told us we were not allowed to enter the campground until 10:00. She suggested we pay the day use fee, park in the day use area and then at 10:00 head into the campground. We parked and scouted out possible sites. There only 6 sites that looked like they would be available, 2 were double sites.
In the end, more sites opened up and we had no problem getting a great site. The campground did fill up and interestingly, most of the spots were taken by BC residents mid week.
We enjoyed the hot springs!

As other reviewers have stated this is a must stop when driving the alcan. We have a 43 ft fifth wheel and checked out the FCFS sites when we arrived. There were some we could have made it work in but honestly it wasn’t worth it. So we decided to save ourselves the hassle and go to the overflow lot, which we should’ve done right away. Even saw some fire pits over there. Several other large rigs were searching for a good site in the campground only to end up in the overflow lot as well.
Some campground sites actually would have been a further walk to the springs than the overflow lot. The $26 nightly rate covered both our entrance fees to the springs, which felt like heaven after driving all day. No signal with ATT or Verizon.

My favorite place to stop on the trip down from Alaska to the lower 48. Campsite is clean and they have firewood for sale. And can’t beat relaxing in the hot springs after a long day of driving.

There is a bathhouse near the hot springs pool, pit toilets, campfire rings, and picnic areas. The hot springs pool is the main attraction and wildlife viewing.
No hookups or dump station at this park. There are two hand pumps for water. They do take reservations and they also have first-come, first-served sites. We will definitely stay at Liard River Hot Springs again when traveling to Alaska. This is a MUST do if you are traveling to Alaska.

There's a reason this park has so many reviews on Campendium in spite of the distance to get here from anywhere! The park is neat and clean with gravel roads and pads, firepits and heavy tables at each site. About half of the sites are reservable, and when we stayed here June 2nd & 3rd, all of the reserved sites were gone when I checked several days prior. We intentionally scheduled a short day for our arrival, arriving about noon which worked to our benefit. By the end of the day the park was full as was the overflow parking across the road.
What sets Liard River apart from any other northern B.C. Provincial Parks is the hot springs. (There is also a large parking lot for day use if you want to enjoy the hot springs and keep on going.) We were here for one night six years ago and built our travel plan around a layover day here.
