Our lake belongs to the beavers and ducks more than the humans. It’s an amazing place to watch, while swimming is best done at the river, a 5min drive away or half hour walk. A hike through the woods affords many opportunities to discover secret spots carved out of the wilderness with private views of the lake and surrounding properties. The rare wildlife around includes bobcats, bears, cougars, deer, elk and the occasional wolf. Ermine, rabbits and grouse are also common sightings. We have 2 dogs and appreciate a chance to introduce them to your dogs so they understand you’re authorized visitors, once you’ve settled in and your animals are comfortable. Thank you for your understanding! While there is a fire ban on it is ok to bring a propane stove or a propane fire pit, but we ask you let us know about it so we can help you site it safely and we can bring you watering cans to have on hand. Forest fires are a thing out here.. We thank you in advance for your cooperation on this.

Surrounded on three sides by lush, moss-draped forest and bordered on the fourth by the stunning Chilliwack River, it’s a true nature lover’s paradise.

We have an endless network of trails and logging roads, perfect for ATVs (ride directly out of our gate), hiking, and biking. Whether you’re seeking adrenaline or tranquility, this property offers both. ATV's are idle in - idle out only. QUIET, well-mannered, leashed pets are welcome if you pick up after them.

getting below freezing temperatures We are 8 minutes north east of PRINCETON BC, or an hour south of Aspen Grove BC. Define ourselves as a Christian couple and a rabbit farm, that would like to share our area with people who enjoy getting into the forest. We do not have dogs, cats or other outside pets so we frequently see deer grazing on our landings. Our property is located 28 Km off the main Hwy 5A on a highways maintained gravel road, some potholes exist! Though we have 3 camping options to choose from, we will block off 2 so whomever books first has the entire site to themselves- and can make check in and check out times flexible. Camping options are a larger 24 ' Rv for families or groups that sleeps up to 6/ a smaller 22' RV trailer for singles or couples sleeps 3. In addition to the RV we have on grid and an off grid areas for tenting, your RV's or van-life if preferred. Our driveway climbs up 100 meters off Summers Cr Rd and is quite secluded. The camping area is like a triangle- a narrow driveway over our creek that opens to a landing 100 feet long and 50 feet wide at the opposite end. Beyond the landing we are all hills and valleys with LOTS of rocky areas to explore, the terrain is uneven so bring sturdy hiking boots. Our small Hidden Creek runs through the property and you can hear it at night. We have also developed 2 hiking trails -one 3 km and one 9 km, both follow our creek to the top of our mountain- that you can explore independently or join a guided hike. After your hike enjoy a soak in our mineral filled hot tub- yet please no soaps or shampoos- hot tubs are not like a Jacuzzi. A Jacuzzi might tolerate such chemicals and just fill up with fun bubbles, but hot tubs are different. The motors and filters might get clogged and ruin the tub. We fill the tub with spring water from our creek and we only add Epson salts. We also have a few older bikes you can use to ride to the beautiful 7 km long Missezula lake, 3 kms north. Or rent our 16' canoe/ life jackets included/ to go out on the lake. Missezula Lake is one of our favorite summer places to cool off! Princeton area is renown for Copper Mining and we have many green rocks on the ground everywhere that are copper! We have been told there are also a few old mining caves on, or above our property, we have so far located one.

The best camping in EC Manning Provincial Park, BC guide

Overview

About

Set in the heart of the Cascades, EC Manning Provincial Park encompasses 83,671 hectares of forests, mountains, rivers, and lakes, as well as a ski resort. Trails range from easy day hikes to multi-day backpacking trails, including a portion of the Pacific Crest Trail. Renowned for alpine wildflowers, the park starts to see blooms in early spring with a peak in late July. A range of summer activities, guided hikes, and events draw campers to over 400 campsites divided between four drive-in, 10 hike-in, one ride-in, and three group campgrounds. Basic services include pit toilets and hand pumps for water. EC Manning Provincial Park is the traditional territory of the Upper Similkameen and the Sto:Lo Nations.

Notable campgrounds

  • Best for families: Lightning Lake Campground has showers, flush toilets, and a playground, plus boat rentals and amphitheatre programs.
  • Best for wildflowers: Poland Lake Campground is near an eight-kilometre hike through fields of wildflowers to a serene mountain lake.
  • Best for groups: The Lone Duck group site offers private space for 15 or more campers, as well as a shelter with picnic tables and a wood stove. 

Tips for snagging a campsite

  1. Reservations are available through BC Parks’ Discover Camping website for dates between May 15 and September.
  2. Lightning Lake Campground is 100% reservable in advance, while Coldspring and Mule Deer campgrounds are about 50% reservable and 50% first-come, first-served. Hampton Campground is 80% reservable.
  3. Try to secure any weekend or holiday spots as far in advance as possible using the online booking system.
  4. Backcountry sites require permits purchased in advance.

When to go

EC Manning Provincial Park is open for camping year-round, though only limited drive-in camping is available outside of the summer season (mid-May to October). Much of the park is in the alpine, meaning there can be snow through June. Think about booking a stay between mid-June and late-July for the best wildflowers (though this will also be the busiest time in the park).

Know before you go

  • Manning Park runs a wide range of visitor programs including interpretive walks, the Jerry’s Rangers program for kids; evening amphitheatre entertainment, and a guest speakers series.
  • Manning Park Resort offers basic shopping and restaurants.
  • Campers should be fairly self-sufficient, as the centre of the park is located 68 kilometres east of Hope and 68 kilometres west of Princeton.
  • Mobile phone service is intermittent in the park.
  • There are some barrier-free toilets and trails at Lightning Lake Campground.
