About
This park offers 30 smaller vehicle-accessible campsites. Twelve are reservable and 18 function on a first come, first served basis. This used to be a forestry recreation site, therefore the sites may not be up to the BC Park standards that visitors may be accustomed to.
Operated by Quartz Contracting.
Gate is closed during the off-season.
