Easy drive in. Pretty close to the main road. Couldn't get in the trestle bridge. Not sure what path to take that doesn't cross private property. Free camping.
Absolutely agree with other reviewers, this place is a 10/10. We got here by 10:30am mid week and there were several empty sites to choose from. Camped in site #7. It is first come first serve with no hookups or potable water. The on-site host does an outstanding job keeping the campground and bathrooms clean. There is a boat launch for small motor boats as well other water access points to swim or put in a kayak or SUP. The reservoir is very clean and super clear. Looking forward to returning someday!
An absolute 10/10. I have travelled far and wide and I can say with absolute certainty that the view from this campground is one of the most beautiful anywhere in Canada. At the time of writing it is free to stay for up to two weeks in a year. Bathrooms are new and surprisingly clean as far as pit toilets go. The campground hosts are lovely friendly people. Only downside are no water or service sites. You can boil and drink the lake water but it tastes like what I imagine the feeling of your parent saying "they aren't angry they're just disappointed" would taste like if it were a taste. Also no cell signal. Well worth the downsides. Beautiful and awesome place to stay.
Great new campground facility on a beautiful lake. It is a very busy spot with a first come first serve policy. Can be a bit frustrating when you drive from town just to find it full, hence the loss of one star. Even nice just to go for the day to paddleboard on the lake.
Amazing campground! Amazing view! Everything you need to have a great camping spot for free ! Absolutely worth it !
