About this site

Source

The road does the filtering at Gordon Lake, in the Merritt area. It is rough going, so four-wheel drive and decent clearance are the price of admission, and large camping units will not make it in.

Four sites, first come, first served. Fishing is the main event, and hunters use the area as a base.

Dot is about 9 km away and the nearest fuel, Johnny's On The Rez, roughly 16 km, so settle the gas question before you commit to the road. Abbott Lake is about 3 km from camp.
