Sunset Knoll Sites on Big Bar Lake

5 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents10 acres · Thompson Nicola E, BC

10 acres of untouched beauty! Extremely private with 100’s of acres of crown land on one side & a neighbour with 10 acres on the other. The lake is Caribbean blueish green & clear as glass. There are miles of trails to hike, 4x4, wild forage, or hunt in season. There are a couple other lakes nearby as well as the Fraser River & the Big Bar Ferry. Highly recommend!! One of our favourites is the Jesmond Fire Lookout. It requires a 4x4 vehicle or physical ability to complete a couple hour hike! We are a bit biased but our place is a very special one of a kind spot!

It feels like being out in the country yet is only 4 minutes to 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).

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!

The best camping near Green Lake Provincial Park guide

Overview

About

Five hours’ drive north of Vancouver, just off the Trans-Canada Highway, this small park in former cowboy country is a great road trip rest stop. In the last century, it was a frequent stopover for stagecoaches, and today, its lakeside campgrounds (six of 11 with facilities), have a total of 121 roomy sites. Water skiers love the nine miles (14 kilometers) of lake, turned turquoise from microorganisms, while cyclists appreciate the bumpy cattle trails that are also good for horseback riding. The closest town, 70 Mile House, sits 10 miles (16 km) away and is named in relation to the start of the former Old Cariboo Road in Lillooet, British Columbia.

Notable campgrounds

Best for privacy: The Emerald and Sunset View campgrounds offer shade and privacy in the pine and aspen forest.
Best for boat launch access: The southside of Sunset View Campground and the north side of Little Arrowhead have the best access for motorboat fun.

Tips for snagging a campsite

Green Lake campsites can be booked online via the Discovery Campground Service website.
When reservations are unavailable, sites are offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
Three campgrounds sit across from one another on the northern part of the lake.

When to go

Open from mid-May to the end of September, Green Lake’s services shut down in early September. Fall is the best time to see Canada’s quintessential northern lights, a must-see natural phenomena rarely visible in southern Canada but possible at Green Lake. July and August offer prime swimming temperatures, but shoulder season nights get chilly—bring a sweater and warm clothes. Deer and moose are frequent visitors, as are owls and golden eagles, so consider bringing your camera to catch a snap.

Know before you go

Green Lake beaches are not shaded, so umbrellas are a good idea.
No e-bikes (electric bicycles) are allowed on bike trails in the park—only roadways.
The park features an information desk but sells no gear or amenities.
Catching a fish here can be tricky, but a dark flatline lure can snag a rainbow trout or two.
Local tour operators offer guided horseback riding on nearby cattle trails.
