About
This park offers 114 vehicle-accessible campsites in three campgrounds: Trinity, Monashee, and Taylor Creek.
Campsite reservations are accepted. During the peak season, all of the sites are reservable. Non-occupied reservation sites can accommodate first come, first served customers for one, or perhaps more nights, depending on availability. Due to the remote location, all first come, first served sites are cash, only.
Trinity campground consists of sites 37 to 84 arranged in three loops and includes two double sites. The roads are single lane gravel. This is the first campground encountered when driving into the camping area. The loops are set in a thick forest of cedar and hemlock that provide shade and privacy with a forest floor carpeted in moss. The loops are separated by open grassy areas and linked by a trail that runs the length of both campgrounds. The sites consist of medium to large gravel spurs that have been raised and levelled. The abundance of trees may make parking difficult for some large RVs.
Monashee campground consists of sites 1 to 36 arranged in two smaller loops and includes two double sites. The sites are generally smaller than those in the Trinity campground and the forest is thicker allowing for more privacy. The other double sites are smaller and perfect for trucks with campers. The sites are gravel but not raised.
Taylor Creek campground consists of sites 85 to 114 arranged in one small loop and includes two double sites. The sites offer good privacy under a heavily forested canopy and are the furthest from the lake.
The main gate located at the park entrance is locked between 11pm and 7am during the operating season. The main gate is open to the boat launch, but the road is not maintained during the off-season.
There is no phone or cell service in the park and the closest store for snacks and other small items is right next to the boat launch. For more services, Lumby is the closest community.
