About
The recreation site is a small, semi-open site and is managed under a no fees partnership agreement with the West Coast Dirt Riders. The site can normally be accessed by road in mid to late April depending upon snow levels. The site is suitable for small trailers, truck campers or tenters.
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: Located northwest of Spences Bridge, access is off Highway 1 and then onto the Colvin Road and then follow the Murray Creek Forest Service Road until you come to the site located on the left around km 20.5 or so. The first section of the Murray Creek FSR can be a bit narrow in places and it switchs back somewhat as it climbs up from the the community of Spences Bridge.
