About this site

Source

Water is 0.2 km from camp at Box Lake, with a launch for small boats and fishing as the main activity. It is a quick site to reach in the Nakusp area, 1.5 km from the community of the same name.

There are 31 campsites, first come, first served at $15 a night on gravel. Dogs have caused enough complaints here that they need to be under control or leashed.

Fuel is 5.4 km away at Carson's Corner. Kimbol Lake is 9.5 km out, the Cedar Grove trail 11.9 km, and the Saddle Mountain fire lookout 13.9 km.
