We Tried The “Best Hot Springs” Truck Camping Road Trip Kootenays BC

Truck camper road trip through British Columbia’s Kootenays to visit the famous Ainsworth Hot Springs Cave near Nelson, BC. Everyone told us this was a “must do” hot spring in Canada… but was it actually worth the hype (and the crowds)? We’ll share what the experience is really like inside the hot spring cave, what to expect before you go, and whether we’d recommend it for a BC road trip in winter. If you’re into truck camper travel, winter camping, and finding the best (and worst) stops in Canada, this one’s for you. If you are new here, we are Beau, Madi and our dog Luna. A couple of Aussies who have moved to Canada to chase a multi year overland adventure across North America. We share real costs, honest experiences and practical tips to help you plan your own road trip or move overseas. Thank you for being here and supporting our journey!
