Camping

Vehicle-accessible camping

This park offers 17 vehicle-accessible campsites. There are three pull-through sites but no doubles. Campsite reservations are accepted. During the peak season, all of the sites reservable and non-occupied reservation sites can accommodate first-come, first-served customers for one, or perhaps more nights, depending on availability. If no staff are present, campers can self-register and put their fee in the self-registration vault. The sites are mid-sized and shaded by large Douglas fir, though the understory is sparse leaving the campground quite open and limiting privacy somewhat. Half of the sites are situated along the top of the river bank and the gravel pads have been raised above the surrounding terrain. The slope to the river is steep. 
 

Vehicle-Accessible Camping Fee: $23.00 per party / night
BC Senior’s Rate (day after Labour Day to June 14 only): $11.50 per senior party/night. Read the User Fees Policy for information on Senior Camping Discounts.
Accessibility information

Accessibility information is available for this park.

Picnic areas
The day-use/picnic area is west of the campground, also along the Similkameen. It features 19 tables and a 29 car parking lot. Many of the tables are spread out amidst two old growth Douglas fir which provide ample shade on hot days while the remainder are found along a strip of lawn shaded by smaller deciduous trees and overlooking the river. The lawn is not irrigated. There are two pit toilets, one of which is wheelchair-accessible. There is no tap in the day-use area. Concrete stairs lead from the parking lot down to the river and a large beach of fine sand. After spring freshet when water levels are lower, the rocky bluffs that jut into the river create a quiet pool, perfect for swimming. The beach is quite large throughout the summer, though size varies with water level.
Pit or flush toilets
This park has 4 pit toilets in the campground and 2 pit toilets in the day-use area. There are no flush toilets.
Drinking water
There is one hand pump for water located near the info shelter.
Campfires
While 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. Firewood can be purchased in the park or you may bring your own wood. Fees for firewood are set locally and may vary from park to park. Limited burning hours or campfire bans may be implemented. 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.
Swimming
There are no lifeguards on duty at provincial parks. Swimming is in the Similkameen River and, as such, caution should be taken depending on the strength of the current. There are no swim buoys or ropes to designate the swimming area. Diving from the cliffs across the river from the beach is prohibited.
Canoeing
This is a well known kayaking starting point on the Similkameen River. You must portage your canoe or kayak to the river. Spring conditions are best.
Fishing

There are fishing opportunities at this park, though the Similkameen River has a bait ban from April 1–October 31 and wild rainbow trout must be released from this area. Anyone fishing or angling in British Columbia must have an appropriate licence.

Pets on leash
Pets/domestic animals must be on a leash at all times and are not allowed in beach areas or park buildings. You are responsible for their behaviour and must dispose of their excrement. There is no designated dog beach but there are many areas for swimming downstream from the sandy beach. Backcountry areas are not suitable for dogs or other pets due to wildlife issues and the potential for problems with bears.
Cycling

Bicycles must keep to roadways. Bicycle helmets are mandatory in British Columbia.

Please note that bicycles with electric assist motors (e-bikes) are not allowed on the trails within Bromley Rock Provincial Park. 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.
