    The spot is truly beautiful, on the lake, lots of big trees provide privacy between sites. Warning about the logging road that gets you there. My retro 35 year old trailer took a beating on the road in. About 2 km of pot holes on the worst road I have ever driven. It took us an hour to carefully and slowly drive through.

    Beautiful spot! We used one of the tenting sites. I woke up in the morning with a flat tire on our vehicle from an excursion the previous evening. The camp attendant patched my tire, re-inflated it, and put the wheel and tire back on my vehicle. Nicest camping attendants I’ve ever come across! It was a very peaceful campground in the evening. $20/night. I would definitely recommend staying here.

    This place is truly a hidden gem. This might be one of my favourite rec sites in BC so far. I continually explore and try many different rec sites.

    The on site hosts are so incredibly friendly, the whole place has a good vibe. Our site backed right onto the lake. Beautiful water and views and the breeze you get makes it feel like you are oceanside.

    Lucky to have captured a lightning storm while there too.

    Magical.

    Lovely campsite off the beaten track. Attendants were really friendly and helpful. We had a great spot right next to the lake, which is pretty warm - perfect for swimming. There are over 50 spots so a good chance of you finding a place for the night. The dirt road to the site is in pretty good condition, although it is very dusty and theres a fair amount of logging traffic in the day.

    The new hosts are absolutely lovely! We felt so welcomed and cared about during our stay this weekend. We forgot to bring rope for our tarp, and during a big rain storm the hosts came to check on us twice - they brought us complimentary firewood, offered us rope to borrow, and offered to help us move to a site that was more inland (away from the wind). We really appreciated their kindness!
