Let's be real...when booking a lakefront vacation in BC it's all about the lake and Timothy Lake will not disappoint.
Timothy Lake is the perfect size, large enough to be unrestricted and offer great fishing, but small enough where you aren't always battling waves. As you venture from the shoreline you'll eventually loose site of the resort and soon find a public sandy beach, an uninhabited island, and a water channel connecting into Dempsey Lake. We've never heard that Dempsey is a great fishing lake, but it is a cool journey by paddle or small boat, and shows just how awesome the natural world is.....but watch for underwater branches throughout the channel cause a wrecked prop can make a good mad a bad mood - really quick.
Located off the beaten track, Timothy Lake is seldom used by weekend warriors and is never too busy - making it great for swimming, water skiing, fishing or just floating around in one of those giant inflatable flamingo's...... if that's your thing.
**There is a pet fee at $55/ per pet, you can add this to your booking at checkout.

71km from Williams Lake · 1 site · Tent, RV
One acre, unique gothic arch house with various small out-buildings, lots of grass, aspen stands, wild roses, at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, backs onto greenbelt where horses graze, deer roam, four friendly cats reside, three dogs dwell, multiple chickens do their chickeny things... It feels like being out in the country yet is only 4 minutes to a small grocery/liquor store.
Bring some firewood and/or pallets and use the bonfire pit (as long as there is no local fire ban in effect).
Unfortunately, we do not yet have an outhouse so we can only accommodate campers who have their own toilet facilities onboard. The nearest public toilets are a four-minute drive away and are open till 9:00, and there are 24-hour bathrooms about ten minutes away.
We are a quiet, friendly family who will respect your privacy, but we welcome any questions you may have and we are happy to greet you!

This was our second time staying on Dean's property and like before our stay was very peaceful and relaxing. The views are fantastic! The property is easy to get to. Dean is an amazing host. He showed us to our sites, and later checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. Thank you for another wonderful stay along our road trio, Dean!

Beautiful setting and view of the lake. Lara and family are kind and welcoming. The details and photos that are posted on HipCamp are accurate. We will be back for more camping. Hipcamp came through for another great camping spot. The resort is well maintained and safe for kiddos. We loved our stay our plans just didn’t fit a longer stay. Oh and the road is paved and in good condition.

The best camping near Williams Lake guide
Where to go
Scout Island Nature Centre
With more than four kilometers of trails dipping in and out of marshland, lakeshore, and island environments, Scout Island Nature Centre is a prime location for experiencing nature on the doorstep of Williams Lake. Since it’s on the migration path of hundreds of bird species, come spring or fall, make sure you bring your binoculars. There is a picnic area, boat launch, and the interactive Nature House, which interprets the area for visitors.
Churn Creek Protected Area
Abutting the west bank of the Fraser River with steep cliffs, rolling hills, and an ever-changing sky, Churn Creek is undeniably beautiful. But it’s also home to some of Canada’s rarest ecosystems—low, middle, and high elevation bunchgrass grasslands—and supports a variety of rare flora and fauna. Follow old roads and cow trails that crisscross the protected area, but be sure to leave gates as you find them—it’s part of a working ranch.
Xatśūll Heritage Village
Get a feel for how the people of the Secwepemc Nation lived their lives for thousands of years. Perched on a sunny plateau high above the Fraser River, guides from the Xatśūll First Nation community walk visitors through teepees and pit houses, teaching them how to cook traditional meals and sharing stories that have been passed down for generations.
When to go
With a humid continental climate, Williams Lake has warm summers and rather cold winters. The warm season spans from early June to mid-September, with mid-July to mid-August being the peak time for warm-weather activities. Thanks to the rain shadow of BC's coastal mountains, rain clouds roll in and roll out often, especially during the summer months. A twist: winter is much drier and sunnier.
Know before you go
- Williams Lake is the largest urban centre between Kamloops and Prince George—it takes about three hours to drive to either. It's just over a 6-hour drive to Vancouver.
- The fall colours in the Cariboo Chilcotin are spectacular, so consider a fall camping trip to watch leaves turn red and amber as the season changes.
- Keep your eyes open for bighorn sheep—the banks of the Fraser River house the largest herd in North America.
