Situated on the site of the original Fort Fraser, a Hudson's Bay Company post established in 1806, the park provides a serene escape for RVers traveling through central British Columbia. Its location on the south shore of Fraser Lake makes it a picturesque destination where guests can appreciate both the shoreline views and the deep-rooted cultural heritage of the Nechako Valley.

Well maintained, good trails, awesome views Fraser lake is huge. Lots of local history posted on informative signs. Nice boat launch facilities

There are few mosquitos here. The ants all eat them. They do come out in the evening, as with most places, but I never encountered one during the day. I can see some other reviewers did not enjoy the ants. There's a lot of them, so take your pick I suppose. I did not mind them, personally. This campground is exquisitely maintained by the husband and wife who manage it. They take pride in their care of the place and it shows. The grass is cut, the trees are trimmed, the grounds are raked, and the flush toilet bathrooms are spotless. The place is also completely overlooked by tourists and mostly empty but for the locals. On a mid-august Saturday afternoon I counted 16 rigs in the park out of 50 sites. All the sites are well spaced apart, and the ones in back are the emptiest. It's fairly tree shaded, and it's also completely affordable. This place is a keeper. I almost feel bad giving it only 4 stars, but I do like to leave room for that 5th star. There's a nice lake here and a boat launch, but the actual campsites generally all feature a view of the trees. The hiking opportunities are limited due to the park being small, unless you are keen on bushwhacking ancient extended routes. The park design also makes it tough for big rigs to maneuver, so be aware of that. There's no sinks or hot water or showers that might be found at a more premium park either, though that tends to come with added cost and crowds. In all, this place is a gem. It's quiet, it's cheap, and well taken care of. It lacks the punch of a more central stop on a big road trip, but it is well worth spending some time here.

This park was great for kiddos, the water stayed shallow for what seemed like forever and there were bathrooms and changing rooms. Clean and fun

Cute mostly-private spots for tent or drive in. The walk-in tent area on the lake is really pretty but less private. The lake is beautiful. We were lucky enough to walk down in time for a stunning sunset. Many birds and squirrels. We saw a moose on our way in and were warned of a few active bears. Bathrooms were clean and the caretaker was really friendly. Wander the forest trail from the bloat launch parking to the old barn if you can. Easy and peaceful trail.

A terrific park! Camp host Tim was so friendly and helpful! He recommended the walk-in tent sites, and they were truly a hidden gem. The walk was maybe a minute from the car, and the sites were right on the lake with cushy soft grass for your tent and facilities less than a minute walk away. Tim and his wife keep the park very clean, well done!
