About
This recently upgraded (2024-2025), semi-open 11 unit camping area sits at the south end of a beautiful, large lake in a treed campground. Fishing and boating are popular activities, the site has a gravel boat launch and is popular for RV's/trailers, though can be a tight turn around for larger trailers. There are several fish species available in Pinkut Lake for anglers.
Please be sure to purchase a fishing licence and consult the BC Freshwater Fishing Regulations Synopsis for limits, special regulations and closures: https://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/sports-recreation-arts-and-culture/outdoor-recreation/fishing-and-hunting/freshwater-fishing/region_6_skeena.pdf
