The Chilko Experience Wilderness Resort

Phil and his team at Chilko Experience have a truly unique and remarkable experience to offer. The property is beautiful, the food is top notch, the staff is a diverse group of knowledgeable and engaging people with a wealth of experiences, and the opportunities to see untouched nature are practically limitless.

We had an amazing time on our visit and are thrilled that we discovered Chilko and had the opportunity to stay for a week.

We stayed at Chilko Experience for a week at the beginning of October 2022 and had an extraordinary experience. We stayed in the amazing Tower House, which is a work of art! The food was phenomenal and we loved the family feel that Phil (the owner) and the staff have created. We were lucky to have unusually spectacular weather the entire time and so were able to get out on the water every day - saw many grizzly bears and countless salmon! Highly recommend Phil’s boat trip up the entire length of Chilko Lake! Phil has created a truly special place…incredibly remote, gorgeous setting and property, and amazing experiences. We are so happy to have found it!

The view of Chilko Lake was amazing.

The glaciers so close to you. The clearness of water. The changing clouds. The calmness of the lake. All made possible by Phil from The Chilko Experience.

My friends and I had such an amazing and beautiful experience. Phil and his staff were kind, knowledgeable, and professional.

I strongly recommend inquiring with Phil and seeing the Chilko Lake.

This experience is once in a life time.

This place is absolutely beautiful! The cabins puts you in the lap of luxury! The activities give you the thrill and excitement of adventure. The food is out of this world and the staff is amazingly friendly and accommodating. We took our young kinds (2-5) and it was as an amazing experience for them as it was for us!! You can tell they spared no expense to make this an out of this world, unforgettable experience!

We visited Chilko Experience for six days in early October and loved everything about our stay. Our primary reason for visiting was to see and photograph grizzly bears as they came to the river to feed on spawning salmon. The grizzly viewing was spectacular! But there were many other highlights. Included activities such as trail rides, fishing and quad rides were a ton of fun. The lodge delivers unbelievable luxury in the middle of an outstanding wilderness and the food and drink were superb. But the best part, by far, was the amazing people at Chilko. Everyone there treated us like family and made sure every part of our stay was perfect!
