• This park has a day-use and picnic area with a gravel parking lot large enough for about 15 vehicles. It is approximately 100 m down a wide, gently sloping path to the small, secluded beach of sand and grass. Two pit toilets are located just above the beach. There are five picnic tables and two freestanding BBQs on the beach that is surrounded by thick cedar and hemlock forest. There is a beautiful view down the lake from this serene, private spot.
• This park only has pit toilets, no flush toilets.
• A hand pump is available roughly 50 to 100 metres from the campsites. Interior Health has issued a permanent boil water advisory on this source.
• Accessibility information is available for this park.
• Car-top boat-launching facilities are available in the park. There is a gravel parking lot that will accommodate approximately ten vehicles. Below the parking area, the road does continue to the lake but ends in a steep drop off (too steep for a trailer) with no parking and a small turn around area too small for vehicles towing a trailer. It’s best to park above or back down the road to drop off a boat. There is a pit toilet located at the parking area. Boats are restricted to 10 horsepower.
• Campfires are allowed and campfire rings are provided at each campsite. We encourage visitors to conserve wood and protect the environment by minimizing the use of fire and using campstoves instead. Firewood can be purchased in the park or you may bring your own wood. Fees for firewood are set locally and may vary from park to park. 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

• This park offers an old-fashioned camping experience in a natural setting with 26 vehicle-accessible campsites, including three double sites. All are available on a first come, first served basis. The majority of sites are small and private, enclosed by a thick forest of young hemlock and Douglas fir with a mature birch and larch towering above. The sites are not appropriate for fifth wheel trailers and other large RVs. There is a self-registration vault where campers can deposit their fee if no staff are present. Greenwood, 12 km from the park, provides the nearest community services. Frontcountry camping fees (per party) Peak season rate $18 per night Shoulder season rate $18 per night $9 per night (B.C. seniors' rate) Non-resident fee $20 per stay
