A small pine-dotted camping area by the Similkameen River. Anglers like to try their luck from the rock-covered shoreline.
All campsite reservations must be made through the BC Parks reservations system. When reservations are not available all campsites function as first-come, first-served.
Campsite reservations are accepted and first-come, first-served sites are also available.
This park offers 28 vehicle-accessible campsites, including one pull-through site. 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. The small sites are located on two levels overlooking the Similkameen River amidst mature Douglas fir and Ponderosa pine trees that shade most of the sites. The sites on the upper level are more open, those closer to the river more treed. Campers can self-register if there are no staff present by depositing their fee in the self-registration vault beside the information shelter at the entrance to the park. There is no phone in the park. Hedley is the closest store and Princeton has the nearest hospital, fire, ambulance and police services.
