About
This a 3 campsite sunny recreation site on the banks of Sutter Creek. It is a bright and open site nestled alongside a rushing mountain stream but directly adjacent to an forest industrial road so it can be dusty. Caution as one campsite is located directly adjacent to a slope which plunges into the rushing Sutter Creek.
Road access. Maintained to Recreation Sites and Trails BC standards by a partner or contractor. Facilities on file: toilets, picnic tables. First come, first served.
Getting there: From the Coquihalla Highway # 5 take exit # 228 Coquihalla Lakes)to near the Britain Creek Rest Area. Do not turn into the rest area but drive about 500 metres south to the Tulameen Forest Service Road. Turn left onto the road and proceed 34.6 km up the Tulameen Forest Service Road to the campsite located on both sides of this main road. Caution as this road can have some heavy industrial use. Also see "Treasures of the Tulameen" brochure.
