About this site

Source

Bairnsfather Creek is the overflow camping for the BC Parks Babine River Corridor Park, a large open flat beside the creek just west of the Nilkitkwa forest service road. The sockeye run is what brings people out here.

Eight campsites, first come, first served, with room for trailers and RVs. Gravel road in, and upkeep here is on the campers, so leave it clean.

Babine is about 11 km away and Haul Lake about 16 km. We have no fuel on record nearby, so come provisioned and full.
