Campers can relax down by the river on our lower field. Wide open sky to watch the stars, sunrises, and sunsets. Right on the Nechako river so wildlife can often be spotted, great for birdwatching especially! Depending on the season there is a lot of foraging that can be done as there are plenty of wild blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, and more.
The camping area is a big grass field so there is plenty of space for any type of camping. The drive down to the field is a bit bumpy so we wouldn't recommend a large motorhome try to go down there.
As of now we have no amenities but hope to add some in the future. The beach and river can be used at camper's own risk.

Kelly is a wonderful host! After I met her exuberant dog pack, she led by car down an interesting little road to her fields by the river and told me to just park anywhere. I chose to camp near the picnic table and fire ring. About the only access to the river is a 20 foot slope; not a lot of beach, but adequate for fishing. You just need a strong arm to get a lure out into the current. After a day or so, I asked if I should be concerned about the incoming rain in getting back out to the road. Kelly and I decided it would behoove me to come back up to the upper fields where I stayed another couple of days. My dogs loved being off leash in the fields! I will definitely stay at Raven Creek if I am in the area again. Highly recommend!

Amazing place to stop at on my way to Alaska. I had the site to myself and it was a great time. From hearing all the new birds to track in my app to watching and hearing the beavers in the river. Not to mention the awesome campfire. I would 100% stay again if I’m ever in the area. Thank you for letting me stay !

Beautiful little spot next to lake . We stayed in a preset up tent that had a heater. Lots of fire wood and super peaceful. The dock needs work but super cool views and there is an out house close by and flush toilet and showers a 5 min walk away
The spiritual smoke house is very cool too ,to check out . Thanks Pauline for welcoming us

About

Whether you're a seasoned hiker or a bird-watching enthusiast, the park offers a plethora of activities to immerse yourself in the great outdoors.

When to go
The prime time to visit Sutherland River Provincial Park is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is most favourable for outdoor activities. Conversely, the off-peak season, particularly from late fall to early spring, can present challenges with cooler temperatures and limited access due to snow.

- Check the park's official website for any seasonal closures or alerts before your visit.
- Wear appropriate footwear and clothing for hiking and exploring the diverse terrain.
- Be wildlife aware; carry bear spray and know how to store food safely.
