About
This park offers nine vehicle-accessible campsites on a first come, first served basis. Campsite reservations are not accepted. All sites are located close to the lake and no facilities are provided other than pit toilets.
Campsite fees are collected through self-registration permit envelopes and can be placed in the on-site collection box. Park Operators and Park Rangers will check camper registration during regular visits to the Park. The campground is closed and the gate locked from November 1 to March 31 due to the risk of slides during the rainy season.
Operated by Namgis First Nation.
Outside the operating season, camping is available, but there are no services and campers must be self sufficient. The campground is closed November 1 to March 31, annually due to the potential slides from winter storms. Campground is closed if rainfall exceeds 100mm in a 24 hour period.
