A Hidden Lakeside Getaway in BC
Nestled in a hidden valley on secluded Little Johnson Lake, Johnson Lake Resort has been a cherished getaway since 1952.
About Johnson Lake Resort —
Johnson Lake Resort is proudly owned by Simpcw First Nation and operated by Simpcw Resources Group.
Since 1952, Johnson Lake Resort has been a tranquil escape for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike. Nestled in a secluded valley on Little Johnson Lake, our resort offers breathtaking beauty, peace, and solitude from June through October. Whether you’re looking to relax or explore, there’s something here for everyone — including your furry friends!
We offer six cozy housekeeping cabins and eight private campsites, all with access to a central shower house. Spend your days at your own pace: sleep in, enjoy a sunrise over Big Johnson Lake, hike scenic trails, or paddle through the crystal-clear waters. Complimentary rowboats and pedal boats await you on Little Johnson Lake, while Big Johnson Lake features a boat launch and rentals for motorboats and more.
As an off-grid resort powered by a historic Pelton Wheel installed in 1956, we invite you to disconnect and recharge. There’s no cell service, internet, or TV here — just nature, tranquility, and the chance to truly unwind. For emergencies, a satellite phone is available at a nominal charge.
Come experience the serenity of Johnson Lake Resort and create memories that will last a lifetime.
