There is a group campsite available for group reservations. This site has a picnic shelter, water, toilets and a large field for games. The group campground is open from May 10 to September 18.

The campground offers vehicle-accessible sites, including two double sites and four tent sites. The campsites are private and secluded. There is a large parking lot available for extra vehicles. A gate is located at the entrance of the park and is locked from 11pm to 7am daily. To enhance visitor enjoyment, a volleyball net and horseshoe pits are provided. Campsite reservations are accepted and first come, first served sites are also available.

Accessibility information is available for this park.

Cold water taps are located throughout the park. Hose hookups are not available for campers or trailers.

An adventure playground is located in the day-use area.

A concrete boat launch and loading dock complete with parking are situated near the day-use area. A separate beach has been developed next to the swimming area for boaters and water skiers. 

A coin operated sani-station is located along the entranceway into the park. The sani-station fee is $5 per discharge. 

This campground offers electrical hookups.

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. Limited burning hours or campfire bans may be implemented. Firewood can be purchased in the park, or you may bring your own wood. Fees for firewood are set locally and may vary. 

To preserve vegetation and ground cover, it is prohibited to 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.

A large, grassy day-use area features 26 picnic tables, most with fire pits, and an adventure playground. A picnic shelter, complete with a wood stove, is ideal for covered activities. Beside a sandy beach there is a designated area in the lake for swimmers. Visitors can also enjoy a game of volleyball. There are flush toilets, change rooms, and showers available. 

Please note: the day-use area is open all year, but the snow is not plowed during the winter.

Visitors will find pit toilets located throughout the park. There are flush toilets located centrally in the campground as well as the day-use area.

Showers are located in both the campground and day-use area.

Trails connect the campground and the beach area. Follow the 2.5km Aldermere Trail to explore the park along the shoreline of Tyhee Lake and through the aspen forest. For your own safety and the preservation of the park, obey posted signs and keep to designated trails. Shortcutting trails destroys plant life and soil structure.

There are no lifeguards on duty. Swim within the designated area to avoid conflicts with powerboats and water skiers. The sandy beach is 200 metres long and is a popular spot for visitors.

Canoeing is a popular activity on Tyhee Lake.

There are opportunities for kayaking at this park. 

Anglers of all ages can try their hand for cutthroat or stocked rainbow trout. Minnows like the peamouth chub, red shiner, and pygmy whitefish can challenge the younger fisher. Anyone fishing in British Columbia must have an appropriate licence. There are also ice fishing opportunities in the park.

There are excellent opportunities for bird watching in the marshy areas of the lakeshore. The dead trees, bulrushes and cattails provide nesting sites and protection for a variety of birds, including loons, red-winged blackbirds, and downy woodpeckers. Wildlife may be seen in the adjacent forests.

Pets and domestic animals must be on a leash at all times and are not allowed in beach areas or park buildings. You are responsible for their behavior and must dispose of their excrement.

Bicycles must be kept to roadways and designated areas. Bicycle helmets are mandatory in British Columbia. There is a small bike track for kids near the shower building in the middle of the campground.
