Facilities as published
- This park only has pit toilets, no flush toilets.
- Boat accessible beach areas provide day-use and picnic opportunities.
- Campfire pits are provided at established Slocan Lakeshore sites. Drinnon, Wicca and Gwillim lakes campgrounds have cooking areas but campfires are not allowed there. Where campfires are allowed and campfire rings are provided, we encourage visitors to conserve wood and protect the environment by minimizing the use of fire and using campstoves instead. To preserve vegetation and ground cover, please don’t gather firewood from the area around your campsite or elsewhere in the park (this is a ticketable offence under the Park Act ). Dead wood is an important habitat element for many plants and animals and it adds organic matter to the soil.
Camping information as published
- Evans Lake Cabin, Cove Creek Cabin, Evans Beach Shelter and Iron Creek Shelter serve as public shelters and offer accommodation in each for a maximum of four persons. A full range of commercial facilities is available at Slocan, Silverton and New Denver.
- Wilderness camping is allowed. Keep in mind that there are no services provided. The campsites are open year-round when accessible and are available on a first come, first served basis. There are facilities at Gwillim, Wicca, Drinnon, Emerald, and Cahill Lakes.

Experience & practicality
Two transparent read-time scores. Unknown facts never count for or against a place, and a score is never used as filter evidence.
Experience
Published recreation and setting.
6.3/ 10
Documented depth: 10 of 16 evidence weight, from 5 published facts. A low number means little is published, not that the place is poor.
Why
- Hiking
- Fishing
- Kayaking / canoeing
- Swimming
- Hunting
Practicality
Published logistics: access, cost, facilities.
—/ 10
Not enough data. Only 1 relevant fact has been published for this record, so no score is shown rather than an invented one.
Why
- Pets allowed
Partially supported: only one of the two dimensions has enough published evidence, so this record is not presented or ranked as the equal of a fully documented one.
Methodology nmr-score-3.0.0. Park-level activities feed Experience only; campsite facts feed Practicality only. Experience measures how much recreation and setting evidence is published; Practicality is the published positive share scaled by how much of the logistics catalogue has been documented, so a handful of positives can no longer read 10/10. Unknown is never treated as a no. Neither dimension is used to filter search results, and “Best” ordering ranks fully supported records above partially supported ones.
