About this site

Source

A flat terrace along the shore is where the camping happens at Merton Lake, near Bear Lake. The 4 pads sit close together in the open, which makes this a sociable spot rather than a private one.

All of it is first come, first served, on gravel access. You get tables, fire rings and outhouses, and a small natural boat launch gets a canoe or a cartopper onto the water.

Bear Lake sits about 19 km out with a Gas Plus roughly alongside it, so groceries and fuel come off one trip. Adrian Lake is about 3.5 km from camp.
