About
This park offers vehicle accessible campsites on a first come, first served basis. Campsite reservations are not accepted.
The Gwe Da Ts’ih campground has eight single vehicle sites. To reach this small, rustic campground at the north end of Chilko Lake, take Highway 20 to Tatla Lake, then drive 63km on a gravel road from Tatla Lake to the Gwe Da Ts’ih campground. Follow signs for Chilko Lake. Lodges nearby may offer meals and some basic supplies.
There is a variety of shaded, treed, and open sites at each campground and parking is available for extra vehicles. These campgrounds run on a self-registration system and drop boxes are in place so people can pay their overnight fee. There are no pay phones at either campground.
Due to bear hazards, Gwe Da Ts’ih campground may be closed during salmon spawning season (mid-August to mid-September).
The closest store to the Nu Chugh Beniz campground is at Nemiah Valley Tl’ebayi Community Centre or at Hanceville. The closest store to the Gwe Da Ts’ih campground is at Tatla Lake.
Operated by Xeni-Gwetin First Nation.
