This place is worth the drive, no cell service but big campsites, tall trees, good space between you and neighbours, this is the kind of place that would be on the front cover of a BC camping magazine. There is a local hike in forest to the lake, cold but refreshing. Outhouses are pit toilets, but vented, no smell, has sanitizer and toilet paper usually.

Amazing campground. Well maintained. The water from the pumps was so good. The lake is cold and refreshing. Lots of awesome places to explore close by. Absolutely no cell service so being cut off was nice! Won't find a more beautiful place

A beautiful campsite on the lake. No dogs are allowed on the lake beach, which is a real shame since dogs on beaches are pure dopamine. Otherwise a great place. Camp spots are spacious and relatively private amongst the trees. The road out from Campbell River is not in the best shape and if you’re driving a bigger rig, like a trailer or RV, you may find the big sudden dips and holes very rough going.

So beautiful! The dust was crazy though! Bring plenty of outdoor carpets and under tarps for tents. The sites are not crushed gravel. They are pure dust that covers everything. The kayaking was fabulous 👌 It was fairly quiet after 10pm and sites not terribly close together. We read there are too many mice here but it was not an issue for us at all. The scenery is wonderful and lovely lake.

Nice place. Very quiet. Good lake for swimming. The wind comes up most afternoons, so get out on the water early. No cell coverage so it is pleasant that way. Water is hand pump and pit toilets. No showers or power. A visit to Myra Falls is a must
