Situated along the John Hart Highway, this park serves as a tranquil destination for those seeking to disconnect and immerse themselves in nature. The park is characterized by its lush forests and the sparkling waters of Tudyah Lake, providing a quintessential wilderness camping experience for travelers. It is a place where the sounds of the road fade into the rustle of Douglas fir and lodgepole pine trees.
Location & Surroundings
Located approximately 145 kilometers north of Prince George near McLeod Lake, BC, the park is easily accessible for travelers heading toward the Alaska Highway. The surrounding landscape is a blend of dense coniferous forests and rolling hills, offering a sense of isolation without being too far off the beaten path. The primary draw is the lake itself, which provides a scenic backdrop for every campsite. Visitors often remark on the clarity of the water and the abundance of local wildlife, including moose and various waterfowl.
Amenities & Park Features
The facilities here focus on preserving the natural environment rather than providing luxury. The park features well-spaced campsites equipped with picnic tables and fire rings. While there are no electricity or water hookups, RVers will find level gravel pads that can accommodate many rigs. Essential amenities include pit toilets and hand-pumped well water. A functional boat launch provides easy access to the water for those looking to explore the lake by motorized or non-motorized craft, making it a favorite for water enthusiasts.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
The lake is a central hub for activity, particularly for those who enjoy freshwater fishing for trout and whitefish. Boating and canoeing are popular ways to spend an afternoon on the water. For history enthusiasts, the nearby Fort McLeod Historic Site offers a glimpse into the region's fur-trading past as the oldest permanent European settlement in British Columbia. Nature lovers can also explore the forest edges, which offer excellent opportunities for wildlife viewing and photography throughout the summer months.

Just stayed one night but the campground was nice, The lake was very peaceful and has a beaver hut that was quite interesting. There was a bit of traffic noise during the day but was quiet at night
Tyler Newstead
Gorgeous lake. Lots of room. Small beach to chill at and a small creek to hike and rock hunt at. Definitely going back. Clean and well maintained, boat launch was in good repair. Close to McLeod lake general store and the Mackenzie junction for fuel and supplies if need be.

Rustic but beautiful. Very clear water with amazing reflections. Lake is full of fish, kingfishers and more beavers in the river than you've ever seen. Pretty much full campground in the August long weekend but very quiet.

Very bad for fishing. We were camping there with whole family, fishing, got so many fishes but they all were grubby, had to throw them all into garbage....
Val Kovalenko
Spacious primitive camp sites with a table and fire pit. The stream next to the lake access provides hours of entertainment for the little ones. Area around the stream is open enough to practice fly fishing.
