About
Cathedral Park offers limited frontcountry camping facilities.
There are vehicle-accessible frontcountry campsites at Lakeview Trailhead and Buckhorn campgrounds. These areas are available on a first come, first served basis only. Payment is collected at the park.
There are three walk-in sites used most often as an overnight stop by people intending to hike into the core area. The sites are rustic, with only fire rings, and no picnic tables or constructed tent pads. Two pit toilets are on the other side of the parking lot.
To access this campground, turn left at 13 km on the Ashnola Forest Service Road. Another 500 m down this dirt road is the gravel trailhead parking lot. The campsites are 20 m from the parking lot along the river, downstream from the footbridge.
Includes 5 walk-in sites.
