Maps and location
Getting there
Tetrahedron Park is located northeast of Sechelt. The main access to the park is via Gray Creek Forest Service Road. Four-wheel drive vehicles with good winter tires and chains are recommended during winter conditions. Snow plowing on the access road is occasionally provided by a local volunteer.
Camping
Cabins and huts
Overnight use is restricted to the four rustic cabins maintained by the Tetrahedron Outdoor Club, and are available to the public on a first come, first served basis. Donations are accepted and are used to help maintain the cabins.
The firewood supplied at the cabins is provided by BC Parks and the Tetrahedron Outdoor Club, and is for winter use only. It is extremely expensive as it is delivered by helicopter. Misuse of firewood may result in the loss of this privilege. Only use the wood stove when absolutely necessary. Be self-sufficient and carry a fuel burning stove for cooking.
Group camping
Group overnight use in cabins only. There are four rustic cabins maintained by the Tetrahedron Outdoor Club, and are available to the public on a first come, first served basis. Donations are accepted and are used to help maintain the cabins.
