Description

A small pine-dotted camping area by the Similkameen River. Anglers like to try their luck from the rock-covered shoreline. This park offers 28 vehicle accessible campsites, including one pull-through site. Campsite reservations are accepted and first-come, first-served sites are available. The small sites are located on two levels overlooking the Similkameen River amidst mature Douglas fir and Ponderosa pine trees that shade most of the sites. The sites on the upper level are more open, those closer to the river more treed. Campers can self-register if there are no staff present by depositing their fee in the self-registration vault beside the information shelter at the entrance to the park.
