About this site
SourceSalmon and steelhead run this headwater, and the campsites sit right on the banks of the Telkwa River between Smithers and Houston, close to the village of Telkwa.
There are 4 campsites and an outhouse, first come, first served, on gravel access. That is the extent of the facilities on record, so come self-contained.
Telkwa is about 10 km away with fuel at about the same distance, so supplies are close for a river camp. Goldeneye Lake is about 9 km off, and Smithers, about 14 km away, has 43 mountain bike trails.
