About this site

Source

Indian Bay looks out over Francois Lake from semi-open forest, with a gravel boat launch at the water and swimming off the same shore. There is enough room here that a few families can camp together without sitting on top of each other.

The 7 sites are first come, first served. The catch is the access road, which is steep enough that RVs and trailers may struggle, so size up your rig before you commit to it.

Tchesinkut Lake is about 9 km away, with the Takysie Lake Store and Resort about 17 km for fuel. Burns Lake and its 47 mountain bike trails are about 24 km on.
