About
Campsite reservations are accepted and first come, first served sites are also available. All campsite reservations must be made through the BC Parks reservations system. When reservations are not available all campsites function as first come, first served.
The park has one campground situated between 3rd and 2nd lake. None of the sites are on the lakeshore but some have lake views with short access trails to the 3rd or 2nd lake loop trails. Champion Rd and Lake Rd form the outside loop with two inner roads know as Centre and Theatre Road.
The campground has 95 vehicle accessible sites, 13 of those are doubles. There are no pull through sites. The campground has an even mix of small to large sites and can accommodate large recreational vehicles. Approximately 10 of the vehicle accessible sites have tent pads with eight sites designed for tenters only. All the sites are evenly spaced and found amongst a mixed forest of fir, larch and pine.
There is limited parking available for extra vehicles in the larger sites. This park offers services during the peak season of May to October. 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 park gate is located at the park entrance and is closed between the hours of 11pm and 7am. There are no pay phones in the park. The closest store is in Fruitvale 18 km west on highway 3B.
