About
This park offers vehicle accessible campsites, and campsite reservations are accepted.
The campground of 58 sites is located on a hillside amidst a ponderosa pine forest. Previously, many sites consisted of two levels which limited the camping unit size. After recent campground reconstruction, most sites can now accommodate medium to large camping units. Four of the 58 sites are walk-in and will accommodate tents only. These sites have parking adjacent to the site and have constructed tent pads. Each site is shaded at some point throughout the day.
The entrance gate is locked from 11pm to 7am. During the camping season, overnight visitors can pay at the campground with a self registration system payable in cash only. Deposit cash in the envelope (change will be provided when attendant arrives if you do not have correct amount), fill out the information and place in the vault found at the information kiosk. Please detach the receipt portion and attach to the campsite number post. You may also pre-pay for firewood with your campsite self registration. Staff will be at the campground at least once a day during the camping season.
Lytton, 6km away, is the closest centre with amenities.
Operated by Shuswap Adams Parks Ltd.
Includes 4 walk-in sites.
The gate is closed in the off-season.
