This park offers vehicle-accessible campsites on a first come, first served basis. You can self-register by choosing a site and depositing payment at the pay station. Campsite reservations are not accepted. 

The campsites are suitable for campers and small trailers only. There are no pull-through campsites. All sites are shaded and very rustic, with fire rings. There is no gatehouse at this park. There is limited parking for extra vehicles. The park may be accessible earlier and later depending on weather and snow-load. The gates are closed in the off-season and camping is not permitted. 

For information on the BC seniors’ rate, see the camping fees page. 

There is an undeveloped gravel boat launch. The small parking area for vehicles and boat trailers is at the bottom of the entrance road, before the camping area. Please check with the park operator before parking any vehicles or trailers in the parking area. It is prohibited to park vehicles on any roadways within the park.

Campfires are allowed and campfire rings are provided at each campsite. We encourage visitors to conserve wood and protect the environment by minimizing the use of fire and using campstoves instead. The park operator does not provide firewood in this park. However, you are welcome to bring your own firewood as long as it meets current campfire restrictions of 0.5 m by 0.5 m in size.

To preserve vegetation and ground cover, please don’t gather firewood from the area around your campsite or elsewhere in the park (this is a ticketable offence under the Park Act). Dead wood is an important habitat element for many plants and animals and it adds organic matter to the soil.

This park only has pit toilets, no flush toilets.

At the campground there is a natural sand and pebble beach on Adams Lake. There is no roped off swimming area.

There are opportunities for canoeing and kayaking at this park.

It is popular to fish for kokanee and rainbow trout at Adams Lake. Access to the park is closed after snowfall accumulations are deep enough to make the road unsafe.

Pets and domestic animals must be on a leash at all times and are not allowed in beach areas. You are responsible for their behaviour and must dispose of their excrement.

Cycling is permitted only on public and park roads. Bicycle helmets are mandatory in British Columbia.

Please note that bicycles with electric assist motors (e-bikes) are not allowed on the trails within Adams Lake Park – Bush Creek Site. E-bikes are restricted to park roads and areas where motorized use is permitted. The only exception to this policy will be for authorized and identified trail maintenance bikes conducting work on behalf of BC Parks.

Adams Lake has waterskiing opportunities. Adams Lake is a very large lake and it’s water conditions can change quickly. Be aware of the weather and water conditions before waterskiing. There are no motor size restrictions on Adams Lake.

Adams Lake can get strong winds, which are great for windsurfing.
