This park offers vehicle accessible campsites on a first-come, first-served basis. Campsite reservations are not accepted. There is room for tents as well as large rigs as there are around 40 campsites in a variety of sizes. Parking is also available for extra vehicles. The caretaker house is located at the entrance at the park.

If staff are not available when you arrive at the campground, choose your site and pay later. Staff will be at the campground at least once a day during the camping season.

There is a payphone near the entrance by the house and the closest store is at Likely.

There is no wilderness, backcountry or walk-in camping.

There are group campsites available. However, they are not designated group sites so the number of people/parties allowed at each site is flexible. There are no covered shelters or barbeques at these sites.

This park has day-use picnic areas. There are 2 large mining displays (one is at the lake and the other one is on route to the lake), a ball diamond with a playground, concession stand and beer gardens near by. There is also a public dock, play area, and fire ring near to the lake. The beach is composed of rock and sand.

Some facilities and hiking trails in the park are wheelchair accessible.

Cold water taps are located throughout the park. They do not have hose hook-ups for campers/trailers. Taps are shut off during the off season.

Only pit toilets available. They are located throughout the campground and near the ball diamond.

There are no shower facilities at this park.

A sani-station dump is available during the collecting season. A small fee is charged for the service.

Firewood is provided and included in your overnight camping fee. There is also a fire ring in the day-use area for campfires.

To preserve vegetation and ground cover, please don't gather firewood from the area around your campsite or elsewhere in the park. Dead wood is an important habitat element for many plants and animals and it adds organic matter to the soil. You can conserve firewood and air quality by keeping your campfire small. Limited burning hours or campfire bans may be implemented and some parks may use communal fire rings. Be prepared to bring a portable stove for cooking.

There are no regularly scheduled interpretive programs at this park. However, there are informative signs about the mining displays.

There are some short trails along a creek and along the beach at low water. 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.

This park does not have a playground.

This park has a playground. There are swings and an adventure playground by the ball diamond and swings by the beach. These are grassy play areas.

There is a sandy beach at the park, popular with swimmers. There are no lifeguards on duty at provincial parks and the swimming area is not roped off. There is a small current at this part of the lake and there can be high winds.

Quesnel Lake is very large and offers opportunities for short or multi-day paddling trips. Being a large lake, it is subject to strong winds and big waves, so keep your eyes on the weather, stay close to shore and always wear a PFD. White water kayaking on the nearby Cariboo and Quesnel Rivers is also popular.

A single-wide public boat launch is located right next to the park. This boat launch is not paved and has a fairly steep drop off. There is a parking area for vehicles and boat trailers and it is possible to leave them there overnight. However, boats should not be left in the water or beached overnight. Be cautious of the electrical cables nearby, especially in high water when the cables are underwater.

There are excellent fishing opportunities for rainbow trout, char and kokanee in Quesnel Lake at this park. Anyone fishing or angling in British Columbia must have an appropriate licence. Licenses can be bought in Likely.

Bicycles must keep to roadways, and bicycle helmets are mandatory in British Columbia.

Horseback riding is not permitted at this park.
