About this site

Source

Big Lake is a four-pad site in the Chetwynd area, and the layout does some of the work for you: 2 pads are sized for trailers and 2 are smaller, for tents or a truck camper. The water sits about 0.9 km from camp.

All 4 sites are first come, first served, off a gravel road. The launch handles car-topper boats rather than anything needing a ramp, and fishing is why most people come. The site is user-maintained, so your garbage leaves when you do.

East Pine is about 27 km away and the nearest fuel, a Race Trac, roughly 23 km, so plan a stop on the drive in.
