This is a great free campground- outhouse, fire pit (when not on a fire ban), take fire road just before icon on map. Fits most lengths typical of provincial park. Turn around at end of campground Arrived 4:30 still 6-8 sites left. Flat gravel in most sites.

Rustic but pretty clean. Sites are gravel and reasonably level. No trash, pit toilets, non potable water, picnic tables, fire rings (though there is a fire ban on right now). Not the most beautiful but ok for one night, especially since it’s free. Lots of bugs.

This was one of the nicer locations we have camped in BC for free. Designated campsites with fire pits and a few outhouses. Close to the river. Had our choice of spots at 4pm but filled up by dark. Level and easy access for all size rigs.

Great spot, as previously described. Turn off was about 100m before where Google marks the coordinates. We did get 1 bar service with Rogers.
