About
An open dry forest site, medium sized, nestled in between the Birkenhead River and Owl Creek. Once a homestead, a small orchard of apple trees remains-watch for bears! Popular fishing spot. Usually not too busy. Large open sites, good for RV's, no hook-ups. Great for groups.
Tables, fire rings, garbage pick up and outhouses on site. Bear proof food caches available.
Please self register and pay the camping fees using the yellow collection box. A site operator will be by periodically to check the sites.
Road access. Maintained to Recreation Sites and Trails BC standards by a partner or contractor. Facilities on file: toilets, picnic tables, fire rings, parking, litter barrels. First come, first served.
Getting there: From Pemberton, drive North through Mount Currie, past the turn off for Lillooet. Stay on the Old Portage Road. The site is 4km passed mount Currie on the right hand side. Watch for HWY sign indicating when to turn off-just after the bridge over Owl creek.
