About this site
SourceSize is the thing to settle before you drive out to Gillis Lake West, in the Merritt area. The spots are small and the road through camp is narrow, so it works for tents, truck campers and smaller trailers rather than a big rig. Gillis Lake is about 0.5 km away and fishing is the point.
There are 5 sites, first come, first served, on gravel access. Anglers and hunters both use the area.
Brookmere is about 14 km away, and the nearest fuel, a Petro-Canada, is about 24 km, so this is not a place to arrive running low. The Coldwater River is about 7 km off.
