I love the place , my family enjoyed our stay for 2 nights. The site was very spacious for a big family.
Ms. Katie was very accommodating and response quickly to my inquiries.
The only thing disappoints us was our fellow campers near the lake, they were not respectful about quiet time they were shouting and singing loud with their loud music until 2am for 2nights. They even had bonfire even if there is a FIRE-BAN during the 2nd night.
But over all we enjoyed our stay and will come back again.

Amazing location and beautiful views! I really loved the covered area since I was tenting it provided great shade during the heat wave. Coming from out of province it was a bonus they offer firewood! Due to the heat wave didn't need alot but the crate was enough for a little fire each night I was there. Hosts were very help! Had a minor issue with a neighbour and their dog being loose and roaming my site. Where my dog is reactive I wanted to avoid any issues and she responded immediately and contact the neighbours which I was very greatful for!

Our family had a great stay at Katie and Melissa's place. We stayed in the Woods site which is nice and spacious for our two tents. The running water was a bonus.
The lake is absolutely blissful. The kids had so much fun on the paddle boat and kayaks. Despite being full, there was no issue with space to hang out down at the water.
We'd love to come again!

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!

This was our second time at Dean’s property and it was just as peaceful and relaxing as the first. This property has river front views and only the peaceful sounds of the birds and the river.

This place was amazing! When I first arrived, I had the whole area to myself — I spent the afternoon reading at the end of the dock and playing fetch with my dog. As I was cooking dinner, a few other groups arrived. We were all spread out with plenty of privacy, but it was also nice to chat with a few fellow campers.
The site was spotless, and the outhouses we’re clean and well ventilated. I really enjoyed disconnecting and being offline, but just a heads-up: there’s virtually no cell service on-site, so make sure you’re prepared for that.
All in all, a peaceful and memorable stay. Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Sunset Knoll Sites on Big Bar Lake
We loved Katie’s campground. It was so serene and beautiful! The lake was swimmable, the bugs were minimal and the water toys were so fun to get to utilize! Everything was clean and well marked! Katie’s communication sealed the deal as she was kind and so helpful when I made errors in booking etc! We would love to make it a yearly trip!

Beautiful spot with views of the lake. Easy to get to. Lots of space. Outhouse was nice and stocked with toilet paper. Took the canoe out on the lake. It was a good time. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Make sure to bring bug spray and or thermacells there were lots of mosquitoes and horse flies. Luckily we were prepared, so they didn’t bother us too much. I will definitely be coming back. Thanks!

We enjoyed “the lookout”. Planning to book “the knoll” next time, so our dog can stay in the water as long as she wants! Sites were quite private, washing water supply was handy, directions were easy. Overall would book again. Thanks Katie and Melissa!

Camping in Cariboo Nature Provincial Park, BC guide
Overview
About
North of Lac La Hache and 100 Mile House in the Cariboo Basin is the small, undeveloped Caribou Nature Provincial Park. Although there is no overnight camping, the park is prime for day use, encapsulating Wood Frog Lake and a section of the San Jose River with 15 kilometres of trails. It’s a great riparian area and nesting grounds for waterfowl—keep an eye out for nest boxes for bufflehead, Canada geese, and goldeneye throughout the park. The surrounding forest comprises Douglas firs, spruce, and pine, many of which host black bears, coyotes, fox, muskrat, pine martens, snowshoe hares, and squirrels. This area was and is part of the traditional Shuswap First Nations.
When to go
The best time to visit is in late spring when waterfowl have nestlings and you can see the families out on the lake or grazing on the grassy shore.
Know before you go
- No overnight stays are permitted in the park.
- Cariboo Nature Provincial Park is undeveloped and requires that trash be carried out.
- Pets are allowed but must be kept leashed.
