Facilities Available at this Park

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.

Drinking Water

Two cold water taps are located in the campground. Taps are shut off during the off-season

Pit or Flush Toilets

1 pit and 2 flush toilets are located in the camground.

Vehicle Accessible Camping

This park offers 16 campsites, one of which is a double. All of the sites are first-come, first-served. Most sites along the river are surrounded by shrubs and well-spaced for privacy. The campground was rebuilt in 2016 and now can accommodate larger RVs. A variety of tree species is present including Ponderosa pine, cottonwood, Lodgepole pine, Douglas fir and spruce which give the sites some shade. The closest store is in Greenwood, 4km east of the park.
