Camping was full upon arrival. Didn’t get to experience staying here. Looked like a nice lake. Beautiful view.
Camp is small, sites are pretty close together and right on the campground road site. No oversized vehicles I think?
This is technically a provincial park I guess.
Maybe try again in the future
Very quiet little provincial park. Not a lot of sites and not the most private, but never totally filled up during the 2 nights we stayed(June 16, 17)
Running water and some of the cleaner pit toilets I've seen.
I wouldn't call it a destination camping spot, but camping on your way to somewhere, or like us, if you hiking in the area, it's great.
Very good picnic, swiming, bbq spot.
Heaven !!! My favorite camping spot !
The Provincial Park has 2 dozen sites and there's always spots available . Not too many people know about this place . It's Unbelievable and the beauty and peace is something I truly value .
We camped right beside the lake .
At night you can see all the stars and it feels amazing .
The sun wakes you up in the morning to a fun day at the beach / day use area which is a short 5 minute walk north .
The water is clear and easy to swim in .
The breeze picks up mid day and there's a nice wind from the west in the evening .
There are picnic tables and seats and even a huge roofed gazebo in this day use area. There's a dock and nice long grassy area for playing tag with the kids .
Sunsets are incredible . It's quiet and you can have the whole beach to your self .
An amazing experience .
I love this place !!
Stayed here for a night over the May long weekend. Recently re-done, this campground has Kelly Lake on one side, fields on the other and mountains everywhere else. Didn't get a chance to check out the beach due to flooding (there was no beach) but it would be a good lake for paddling or swimming. There is a day use picnic area just down the road from the campsite that has a dock and covered picnic area with wood burning stove. Dogs are allowed on leash but not on the beach. Most of the sites are fairly private...some more than others. Rate is $18/night which you can leave in an envelope at the entrance or have someone collect it. Water is available but you must boil it before drinking.
