About this site

Source

Babine Lake is the point here. The campground sits on the shore with a small gravel boat launch, and the lake carries a range of fish, including sockeye when there is an opening.

Five sites, first come, first served, on gravel access, with picnic tables, fire rings and an outhouse. Swimming is on the list too.

The community of Old Fort is about 5 km away, but fuel is a long way off at about 58 km, so arrive with a full tank. Tanglechain Lake is about 16 km out if you want a second body of water.
