About this site
The Cape Scott trailhead is about 0.9 km from here, which is the whole reason to know about San Josef Recreation Area. It is free to camp, operated by Western Forest Products, and takes RVs on paved access.
Free also means no services to lean on, so arrive self-contained. Fuel is the serious constraint: the nearest Esso is about 52 km away, and Holberg, the closest town, about 16 km. Fill the tank long before the turn and carry what you need for the whole stay.
Eric Lake is about 2.9 km away.
