About
The park has two campgrounds with vehicle-accessible sites. All the sites are gravel and the road in the Main campground is paved, while the road in Big Horn is packed gravel.
There are no pull through campsites, however, all the sites in Main campground are considered large and will accommodate bigger rigs. The Big Horn RV sites are generous, back in, gravel pads with electrical service. The Big Horn Loop sites are on the smaller size, more suitable for tents, campers and smaller RVs. All sites provide limited parking for extra vehicles. The Main Campground is one large loop with one cross road at its center. The Big Horn is adjacent to the day-use area with most sites overlooking the lake. The majority of the sites are shaded in a mixed forest of fir and pine.
The park offers services during the peak season of May to September. Campsite reservations are accepted and first come, first served sites are also available. Visitors can select any non-reserved site and staff will come to collect fees. A gatehouse with a pay phone is located about 2 km from the park entrance sign. The closest store is Scottie’s Marina 1.5 km from the park.
Operated by RAP Park Contracting Ltd.
Fees
Peak season $37.50 CAD, shoulder season $26 CAD per party per night; non-B.C. residents +$20 CAD per stay
