Sites 24–76 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.

The park has services from May to September. 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.

This facility is disability and wheelchair-accessible.

Showers

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

Drinking water
Cold well water is available for cooking and drinking. Both campers and picnickers share 6 water taps located at each group of campsites. Taps are shut off during the off-season.

A large wharf accommodating up to 4 boats is available to dock your boat. Overnight parking for vehicles and boat trailers is allowed in the day-use/picnic parking lot.

Sani-station

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.

Sani-station Use Fee: $5.00 per discharge in coin or purchased token.

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.
Hiking
There are no formal trails within the park. A 100m 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.
Swimming
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 300m 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. There are no lifeguards on duty at provincial parks.
Canoeing
Canoeing and kayaking opportunities are possible but mostly powerboats use the park.
Kayaking
Fishing

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 on leash
Pets/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.
