About this site

Source

Camp sits about 0.2 km from Johnny Lake in the Merritt area, and it suits tents, tent trailers and truck campers. Large trailers and motorhomes will struggle, since the access road is a four-wheel-drive affair.

Four sites, first come, first served, some shaded and some open, so you can pick to taste. Fishing is the main draw.

Brookmere is about 12 km away and the nearest fuel, the Trading Post, roughly 22 km, so make that your last stop.
