About this site

Source

The fuel distance sets the plan here. Bowman Point Recreation Site is a free camp in the Castlegar area, and the nearest pump is the Edgewood General Store at about 27.7 km.

So show up self-sufficient, with fuel and food both sorted before you head out. Renata, about 11.2 km away, is the closest settlement, and there is nothing recorded for facilities at the site itself, which means water, a stove and a plan for your garbage all come with you.

Deer Creek Falls is about 12.4 km off and is the one named attraction close by, so it is worth building a day around.
