About this site
SourceJohnson Lake near Barriere is worth visiting and worth visiting carefully. The site notice flags overcrowding, misuse and ongoing environmental damage, and parking is very limited, so this is one to arrive at with a plan and a backup.
There are 12 sites, first come, first served, on gravel, with fishing the main draw. If there is no room, leaving is the right call: squeezing in is exactly the pressure the site is trying to shed.
Fuel is about 28 km away, which is the nearest there is, so plan for that. Johnson Lake itself sits about 2 km from the site.
