Is there a parking fee?
None of these parks presently charges a day use parking fee.
When are you open?
Full services are generally provided and fees charged from the weekend prior to May 1 until the Sunday after September 30 each year although these dates may change due to weather conditions, and without prior notice..
How safe is the drinking water?
The drinking water in each park is tested monthly during the camping season in accordance with Interior Health regulations.
Monck, Juniper Beach, Kentucky Alleyne and Skihist all have running water taps while Goldpan and Marble Canyon have hand pumps.
Are there showers, electrical hookups
or sani dumps in the parks?
Juniper Beach has all three services. Monck and Skihist both have a sani station on site. There is a $2.00 per dump fee charged for the sani stations which applies whether you are camped in the park or not.
Will my cell phone work?
Generally speaking – no. Cell phone coverage in BC’s interior is very spotty and usually available only in larger centres. There are public payphones at Monck, Juniper Beach and Skihist. Goldpan – 2 km at Shaw Springs, Kentucky Alleyne – 30 km at Merritt or Elkhart Lodge, Marble Canyon – 5 km at Butterfly Springs.
Can I bring my dog?
Well behaved pets are permitted in the campgrounds as long as they are under control and restrained by a leash not longer that 2 meters (6 feet) at all times. Pets are not allowed on beaches or in day use areas.
Are we allowed a campfire?
Yes. In the hot summer months check BC Parks website www.bcparks.ca for campfire bans in specific parks. Front country Provincial Parks are usually supervised and campfires may be allowed even though there are bans in back country or forestry parks.
Where can I get firewood?
Park Staff have firewood, and in some parks, ice for sale or you can bring your own dry, seasoned and cut to length wood. No gathering of downed or dead trees is permitted.
When is the best time to get a campsite?
You will have the best choice of sites on Sundays after 11:00 am checkout. Usually, if the campground is full on Friday nights, you will find empty campsites on Saturday mornings – arrive between 9:00 and 11:00 am. Check with on-site park staff also, they often know which sites are coming open.
