Park Info:

A striking rock bluff along the Similkameen River provides a focus for this tiny park. Swimmers can enjoy a refreshing dip in a quiet pool.

The campsites are located in a pleasantly-forested site along the Similkameen River. Hiking in the area affords good views of the Similkameen Valley. Tubing is also popular here giving a downstream route to Stemwinder Provincial Park.

vehicle accessible, drive-in campsites

This park offers 17 vehicle accessible campsites. There are three pull-through sites but no doubles. All of the sites are first-come, first-served. If no staff are present, campers can self-register and put their fee in the self-registration vault. There is no fee in the off season. The sites are mid-sized and shaded by large Douglas fir, though the understory is sparse leaving the campground quite open and limiting privacy somewhat. Half of the sites are situated along the top of the river bank and the gravel pads have been raised above the surrounding terrain. The slope to the river is steep. The closest store is in Hedley, roughly 15 km east of the park, or Princeton, 21km west. The park has no phone.

Vehicle Accessible Camping Fee: $15.00 per party / night
BC Senior's Rate (Shoulder Season only): $7.50 per senior's couple/night

picnic, day-use facilities,  no camping

The day-use/picnic area is west of the campground, also along the Similkameen. It features 19 tables and a 29 car parking lot. Many of the tables are spread out amidst two old growth Douglas fir which provide ample shade on hot days while the remainder are found along a strip of lawn shaded by smaller deciduous trees and overlooking the river. The lawn is not irrigated. There are four pit toilets, one of which is wheelchair accessible. There is no tap in the day-use area. Concrete stairs lead from the parking lot down to the river and a large beach of fine sand. After spring freshet when water levels are lower, the rocky bluffs that jut into the river create a quiet pool, perfect for swimming. The beach is quite large throughout the summer, though size varies with water level.

wheelchair accessibility

One pit toilet in the campground and one in the day use area are wheelchair accessible. Roads and paths to the pit toilets are paved.

firewood, 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.
