About this site

Source

History is the draw here. Quesnel Forks camps you at the junction of the Quesnel and Cariboo Rivers, right beside the old townsite of the same name, which predates Barkerville.

The 11 campsites have been updated and are first come, first served, with gravel access and a boat launch on the water.

Hydraulic is about 6 km away, but fuel is a haul: the closest is a Race Trac about 41 km off, so come with a full tank. Rosette Lake is about 4 km from camp.
