Historic Hope Cafe & Campground

Had a burger and brew which hit the spot after going 24 miles biking the Resurrection Pass trail! Locals were lively, live music was enjoyable and the bartender attentive! The view was also really great!

Loved this little Cafe. The food was excellent. They only serve beer and wine. Restaurant on o e side and bar on the other with a patio in between. Live music is the norm. Definitely recommend this place.

The campground has beautiful views. A momma and baby moose walked right by! Sites are a little tight but fine. Based on other reviews, I thought there would be wifi and drinking water included, but no. There weren’t any dumpsters or showers or picnic tables, either. No campfires are allowed, even though they try to sell you bundles of firewood when booking online. The portapotties and public outhouses ran out of TP.
There is a walk-up restaurant nearby. Cell service was fine but not strong enough to run a hotspot. The cafe and bar were closed “for inventory” while we were there, with no advanced warning. Maybe they would have had water and wifi if they had been open.

We used the campground twice. Not full hookups or any frills, just electric on grass sites and can be muddy. Cafe and restaurant aren’t open during the week. Campground is right on the water and Hope Creek is overflowing with salmon. It’s a beautiful spot, idyllic but just don’t come here expecting a full service rv park. It’s very busy on the weekends. We would definitely come back. We didn’t eat here, so no input as to whether the food is any good. Owner and staff seemed friendly while checking in. Boat loads of dogs roaming around.

It’s one of the first buildings ever built in Hope. Today, it serves as a local bar where you can chat with the locals and, if you’re lucky, listen to some live music. I was lucky to listen to two women from Australia :)
The food is delicious — they serve local fish and, of course, burgers :). You can really feel the historic atmosphere with all the old photos on the walls. Everything here has a story to tell.
A must-see place in Hope!
