Good campsite with decent privacy between sites. You’re not too far off the highway, so there is some noise from that, but it’s not too bad. The pit toilets and flush toilets are both pretty average, not great but not awful.

Great campsite. It is quiet and green. Some sites are not leveled which is fine. I was surprised about the amount of people camping mid August. It was not expensive $25/night. Bring your mosquite-bug spray.

Fantastic place to camp just outside of Radium 9 minute drive to hot springs. Great area absolutely beautiful can't beat the price and location is great we will most definitely be back to camp again!! Highly recommend

Small, quiet and spacious! The park is close to the highway but set back enough that there is little road noise. There are washrooms with water and also pit toilets, all kept to a high BC Parks standard. The Park Facility Operator staff were friendly and diligent, as (as always!). Some of the sites-the best ones-can be reserved and others are available closer to the road. Don't miss the trails to the south offering great views and an unusual gulley where the face seems to have fallen off the main mountain during some past millennium.

This park is located just off Hwy 95 just south of Radium Hot Springs in south eastern BC Canada. This park is only good as an overnight stop and maybe as a base camp. No sani-dump, steep hills, dry, no beach, no playground, very little privacy. Some sites are difficult to back into due to trees. Good space between sites. Look for a spot near the toilet house or you might have to choose between pit toilets and a walk up a steep hill. Clean park with lots of shade trees but no services.
