The Liard Hot Spring Lodge is often inflicted with poor service and high fuel prices. It was much better when known as Trapper Ray's and before he sold it. Too bad it has floundered since then.
Agree with Contact Creek Lodge - best fuel price in the area and very nice owners. Her dad used to run Morley River Lodge until he died about 10 years ago. He was a very nice fellow too, who let us camp in his yard one December - he even opened up his shower shack for us! Sad to see the lodge closed since then.
Rancheria, yup, they've let us drycamp in their yard in winter too. Good peoples.
