One Island Lake
Overview
One Island Lake Provincial Park offers a serene escape for RVers traveling through the Peace River region of British Columbia. This park provides a quiet, natural setting that serves as a refreshing alternative to more developed roadside stops. Known for its scenic lakeside views and lush forest canopy, it is a primary destination for those wanting to experience the rugged beauty of the northern wilderness while remaining within reach of the historic city of Dawson Creek.
Location & Surroundings
The park is situated approximately 60 kilometers southeast of Dawson Creek, accessible via Highway 52. Surrounded by dense boreal forest, the park centers around the tranquil waters of One Island Lake. The environment is characterized by rolling hills and diverse local wildlife, offering a peaceful atmosphere where the sounds of nature replace highway noise. It serves as an excellent base for exploring the unique landscape of the British Columbia foothills.
Amenities & Park Features
As a provincial park, the facilities here are designed for a rustic, back-to-basics experience. The park features 48 vehicle-accessible campsites that can accommodate various RV sizes, though no hookups are available. Essential amenities include pit toilets and a seasonal hand pump for water. Travelers will appreciate the well-maintained boat launch and picnic area, which make it easy to spend a full day enjoying the water or gathering for an outdoor meal under the trees.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Angling is the most popular activity here, as the lake is regularly stocked with brook and rainbow trout. Beyond the water, visitors can head into Dawson Creek to visit the Alaska Highway House or take photos at the famous Mile 0 Post. For those interested in engineering and history, the nearby Kiskatinaw Provincial Park features the historic curved wooden bridge, while the Bear Mountain Wind Park offers impressive views of the surrounding plateau.
Who This Park Is Best For
This park is ideal for self-contained RV travelers who prefer solitude and natural beauty over luxury resort amenities. It is a perfect fit for families who enjoy fishing and swimming, as well as photographers looking to capture the northern landscape. If you are seeking a quiet off-grid experience to recharge before or after tackling the Alaska Highway, One Island Lake provides the perfect balance of seclusion and accessibility.

1st time there really beautiful
Chris Weberg
This campground was a very enjoyable 2 night layover on our way to Alaska . No problem getting in there with our 5th wheel and our traveling friends unit. Got 2 waterfront sites on a Saturday night with no reservations ! There's something there for everybody even a play area for the kids. I hope I don't butcher his name but I think it's spelled Kimmer and he seems to be running the place. GREAT GUY ! he will bring fire wood to your campsite and give you fishing tips and share general knowledge about the area. If your thinking about camping here just do it ! It worth the drive .
