Nous sommes restés ici 2 nuits sans aucun problème. Beau spot au bord du lac.
On a pu apercevoir des Wapiti qui se promenaient dans les alentours des habitations.
A ranger came at 10pm, he took our plate and driving license and gave us a warning. We were asked to go to the overflow parking 15km North. We arrived late in town and tried our luck here, my advice is avoid and go to the overflow parking straight away even though it's not a free spot.
Report Check-Inbeautiful spot, no problems at all. we've had some nice french Ioverlander neighbours :-)
Report Check-InVery Nice spot next to the lake. also suitable for big rigs or tents. we saw two people walking their dog. very friendly, got no comment. place for 3 or 4 vehicles.
Report Check-InGood spot. We were here later in the evening, about 7/8ish. Nobody came at night.
Report Check-InGreat spot, though expect a few dirty looks from locals if you're obviously camping as you're not supposed to. Adjacent to lake for swimming and quiet at night.
Report Check-InVery nice place! But we recieve a warning from the police. Maybe we were too many people camping here and someone call the police. The place is awesome. I would stay again when not crowded.
Report Check-Ingreat spot. great view also. trees and lake provide a great camp site
