The campground hosts 75 vehicle-accessible campsites, including four double sites. There are services from May to September.  

Sites 1 to 22 are all single campsites with some adjacent to the central grassy field mixed with wildflowers that bloom in late July and August and others that have spectacular views of the reservoir and mountains nearby. 

Sites 24 to 76 are located near the lakeshore with a mix of single, double and pull-through style sites. All are evenly spaced, open, some of which are sunny and hot with a welcoming afternoon wind. Parking for extra vehicles is available in the day-use parking lot, however, subject to fees.

Campsite reservations are accepted and first come, first served sites are also available. Non-reservation holding visitors can choose a site that does not have a camping receipt posted on the campsite number post and staff will come to collect fees. A park gate is located at the park entrance. The closest phone and store are in Revelstoke, a 15 minute drive south.

Accessibility information is available for this park.

Cold well water is available for cooking and drinking. Both campers and picnickers share six water taps located at each group of campsites. Taps are shut off during the off-season.

An adventure playground with swing set, monkey bars, and slide is located at the beach day-use area. The equipment is set in pea gravel.

A paved and concrete, singlewide boat launch is located at the southern tip of the park, at the far end of the park entrance road. A large wharf accommodating up to four boats is available to dock your boat. Overnight parking for vehicles and boat trailers is allowed in the day-use parking lot. Overflow boat trailer parking is also available near site 41. See Campground Map [PDF] .

There is a sani-station available in this park. This is a full-service sani-station, suitable for dumping black and grey water, as well as a fresh water fill.

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.

This park has two recognized day-use areas. One is on the beach and one is closer to the day-use parking area. The one parking lot can accommodate 40 vehicles. Fire pits and barbeque stands are not available.

The beach day-use and picnic area located at the south end of the campground has six picnic tables, 20 m back from the shore line. Nearby are an adventure playground, water tap and two pit toilets. The beach is coarse sand and pebbles, 300 m long and flat.

A picnic shelter is located off the day-use parking lot. The enclosed building does not have cooking facilities or services. A potable water tap and grey water disposal are nearby. Inside the shelter are four picnic tables ands nearby are two fire rings and five picnic tables. Firewood can be purchased from the park operator. Reservations are available for the picnic shelter.

The park campground has seven pit toilets conveniently located throughout the campsites and day-use areas. There is a large, flush washroom and shower facility located central to the campground. It has male and female sides, as well as a family room with flush toilet, sink and shower. This facility is disability and wheelchair-accessible.

There are hot showers in the flush washrooms. There is no extra charge for showers, however, they are for registered guests only.

There are no formal trails within the park. A 100 m trail takes you from the grassy in-field to the beach. For your own safety and the preservation of the park, obey posted signs and keep to designated trails. Shortcutting trails destroy plant life and soil structure.

There is one open, sunny beach that parallels the group of lake view campsites. The beach consists of coarse sand and pebbles. Cool to refreshing water with a 300 m long, flat beach provides excellent swimming and sunbathing opportunities. This is one of the few sandy beaches in the area. Adults can observe their children swimming from their campsite. 

There is no roped off swimming area and there are no lifeguards on duty.

Canoeing and kayaking opportunities are possible but mostly powerboats use the park.

Rainbow and bull trout are available. The reservoir is very popular with local anglers. Anyone fishing or angling in British Columbia must have an appropriate licence. Check the BC Fishing Regulations Synopsis for restrictions and quotas.

Pets and domestic animals must be on a leash at all times in the campground and day-use areas, and are not allowed on most beach areas or in park buildings. There is an off leash area in this park where dogs are allowed to play in the water, but they must be under control at all times. You are responsible for their behaviour and must dispose of their excrement.
