I did not stay overnight but confirmed at the front desk that you are allowed to park your RV overnight in their lot. They are open 9am to 6pm everyday and ask that you come in and give your license plate number to stay overnight if you arrive while they are open.

This beautiful visitor centre has info, a small gift shop and a small museum about the Williams Lake Stampede with admission by donation. They had SMOKIN FAST WIFI and comfortable seats with receptacles nearby to plug in. Garbage and recycle bins outside. Trails nearby.

Only downside is that it is right beside the highway so there will be some traffic noise however the parking lot is raised above the highway and large enough that you are set back a bit from the road.

Very friendly staff that love and welcome RVers! Thank you Williams Lake!

Relatively popular, huge roadside pull out with no signs prohibiting overnight parking. Located right next to the highway and completely exposed to it so traffic noise is significant, though traffic should be minimal overnight, there will be some vehicles for sure. Interpretive signage at the pullout.

Directly across the street is the short Soldier’s Summit Trail and about 1 mile south is the Parks Canada Visitor Centre with interpretive displays, garbage and pit toilets. Dall sheep roam the hills in this area so bring your binoculars.

No cell service here. Cell service is available closer to Burwash Landing to the north and Haines Junction to the south.

Location is super pretty with trees and the river has a gentle roar as the water cascades down the rocks. Footing was dirt/grass and was relatively level. There were 2 distinct sites, both of which were large enough for a large RV to scoop into or could even accommodate multiple RVs.

This spacious turnout is sandwiched between the road and the river. Its a short distance from the transCanada highway but out of earshot of the highway traffic in Hope BC. Silver Skagit Road is relatively quiet for traffic.

There is no signage at this location prohibiting overnight parking or tresspassing. However, there are some boarded up cabins beside the site, across the street and down the road that say No Tresspassing on them.

There is a picnic area at Silver Skagit Road and Flood-Hope Road with some signage about the river, a couple picnic tables and garbage bins, just a block or 2 away. There are also additional pull outs farther down the road though this one was the nicest out of the couple miles we explored.

Cell service was good. There was only a little bit of garbage at the site, easily picked up in just a couple minutes.

Shady campground with electric hookups at the site and water spigots at various intervals in the campground. No sewer hook ups, but access to the dump station is included with your stay.

There is a boat launch onto the river for a fee and a slough nearby good for canoeing and kayaking. Hiking trails lead from the campground into a forest area.

Our site had litter on it including a rotting discarded compost pile and tons of cigarette butts which I cleaned up when we first got there.

Sites are pretty tight together and the campers were friendly and all seemed to know each other. We booked to stay Thurs to Mon in July but left on Saturday due to the party scene. Alcohol is allowed outside on campsites and many were partying loudly late into the night.

We asked for a refund by email to the Town of Selkirk, explaining the unsatisfactory conditions and they did give us a partial refund and noted that they do have security at the campground.

Probably a good spot for the locals who all know each other and want to party together but beware summer weekends if this is not your thing. I would not camp here again and cannot recommend it.

I did not stay here but walked around and took pictures to post here. The campground was closed and gated when I arrived in late October. The entire campground is right beside the highway and the traffic noise from passing tractor trailer trucks is really loud. Good cell signal as it is right on the edge of town.

Jones pond is a small shallow lake with a dirt boat launch area right off a paved road in the Adirondacks in New York State. There is one site right across from the boat launch area that is RV accessible, the rest are down a rutted dirt road only suitable for pickup trucks. Beware that the boat launch area is right at the apex of a curve in the road - backing in could put you at risk of being hit by traffic coming around the bend unless you put a spotter down the road to flag traffic.

Site 1 is beautiful, surrounded by a coniferous forest and with water access at the boat launch. The base is pine needles over dirt, some tree roots but relatively level and not too bumpy. We had some trees to drive around but were just barely able to U-turn through it with our minivan/small trailer combo. It could be tricky for larger rigs. We were able to stay 3 nights without registering or getting a permit but you can stay longer if you get a permit. We stayed here twice: both times the spot was available, in August and September 2015.

People do come and go for launching small boats/canoes/kayaks and to access the sites farther back down the rutted dirt road. Also it is adjacent to a paved road so there is some traffic noise as well. Cell signal was weak for us on our Canadian plans. The Paul Smith College Visitor Information Centre is just 7 miles away north up Hwy 30 with bathrooms, small garbage and recycling bins, free wifi, a butterfly house and many miles of beautiful hiking trails. We also got out on Jones Pond in a canoe and spotted bald eagles soaring overhead and a pair of loons.

This campground is a favourite from my youth with it’s private treed campgrounds and picture perfect sandy beach on the brown tannin-stained water of Arrowhead Lake, framed by towering white birch. The centrepiece of Arrowhead, however, is the incredibly beautiful and mesmerizing Stubbs Falls, accessible both by canoe along a gentle river and the Stubbs Falls hiking trail lined with giant white pine.

Everything you expect from an Ontario provincial park is here: comfort stations with showers, sani-dump station, garbage and recycling, electric at some sites and water spigots around the campground. They also have an amphitheatre and several hiking trails, including one to the lookout over Big Bend.

Located just north of the town of Huntsville with excellent cell signal throughout the park. Arrowhead is busy and popular. This time, I visited Arrowhead with a day pass but stayed at Lagoon Tent and Trailer park just down down the road, with it’s own beach sandy beach on the river and water access to Stubbs Falls.

On Campbell Lake, this provincial rec site campground is poised alongside a protected bay on the north side of the lake. At the bottom of the hill to the right is a deep site with water view but no access. To the left are two clusters of sites that can accommodate one or two rigs with water view and access. The campground road dead ends at a single, narrow site with its own private beach and beautiful lake views. Water was clear and not too cold for swimming if you are tough. Ha!

There is a parking area just before the end of the road but not big enough to turn around while towing. We backed our 17’ travel trailer down to the end site as we were planning to stay awhile. However, this was not an easy feat – scope this out carefully for yourself before attempting this as we were barely able to turn the rig around using a multi point turn in one of the cluster sites. Leveling up was tricky as well and we needed all our blocks, levellers and chocks to pull it off.

Some cell signal comes across the lake but we needed a cell booster to access it. Signal was in and out during rainy weather but we could get 4G signal at times on Bell Canada and AT&T.

Easy 25 minute drive to town past Loveland Bay Provincial Park, across the John Hart Dam and past Elk Falls Provincial Park Day Use area where you can hike to the famous Elk Falls Suspension Bridge.

This is a particularly pretty, spacious and accessible rec site which means it is likely very popular and busy at peak times. We were there on a rainy weekday in September which is why it was empty. Multiple sites to choose from with lake views and lake access. A decent homemade dock stretches into the lake. Would be an ideal spot for kayaking or canoeing.

Some cell signal reaches across Campbell Lake though you will need a booster to pick it up.

Absolutely stunning forest campground with towering hemlock and cedar trees. Lovely fresh cedar scent in the air. Sites are large and well spaced. Sites 1 - 10 are along the creek and are reservable but also available fcfs for 1 or 2 nights if not reserved. All the other sites are also stunningly beautiful too just not by the creek.

At the end of the road is the day use area with a good sized parking lot. A gorgeous swimming hole with multiple levels separated by the cascading water was a fun excursion on a warm August afternoon. Beware the water is COLD but worth a swim if you can hack it. You can even slide down the waterfalls if you are adventurous enough.

Pit toilets, garbage and recycling. A water pump in the forest too.

Camp host was friendly and helpful and came around to collect the $20 fee. Day use is free - totally worth a stop for a quick dip or wade in the water even if you can't stay to camp.

Cell service on Bell Canada with cell booster, otherwise not. No signal on AT&T even with the booster. No road noise at all, creek sites enjoy the gurgle of the creek.
