About
This small 4 vehicle recreation site is a popular location for fishermen, hunters and campers. This is an open, sunny site suitable for moderately sized campers, small motorhomes and truck campers.
A car top boat launch is located here but a small trailered boat can also be launched here but with care.
Road access. Maintained to Recreation Sites and Trails BC standards by a partner or contractor. Facilities on file: toilets, picnic tables, fire rings. First come, first served.
Getting there: Access is from Highway 5A heading towards Princeton from Merritt. Turn left onto the Dillard Creek Forest Service Road, follow this road to km 4 then turn right onto the Ketchan FSR and continue on to about the 7 km mark. Turn right and follow this road to about 2 kilometres to the campsite located near the power lines. The last short distance of the road is a little rough but just take your time!
