Lakeside in northern BC, with tiny A-frames, a teepee and loads of tenting sites! Lots of room for tent sites as well. We have hot showers and flush toilets on site and an Indigenous cultural area to share. There is a (older) dock, kayaks a pontoon tours and trails to hike in the area, outhouses and sauna (extra fees).
A beautiful space to hunker down and enjoy our outdoor kitchen and generous lake life!

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

Overview
About
On the south shore of Burns Lake, this small, 65-hectare peninsula is unfinished but prime for time outdoors with a community-maintained, 8-kilometre loop trail and a lakefront popular for swimming. The province’s smallest provincial park, Deadman’s Island, is just two kilometres from the Burns Lake boat launch, and other lake activities include kayaking and canoeing, birdwatching, picnicking, and swimming. Several hike-in campsites are available with tent pads, picnic tables, fire rings, pit toilets, and a few covered shelters. Burns Lake lies within the territories of the Burns Lake Band, the Wet’suwet’en and the Carrier-Sekani Tribal Council.
When to go
From May to September the lake is popular for outdoor recreation. In winter, once the lake has fully frozen, skating, snowshoeing and snowmobiling become possibilities.
Know before you go
- The park has no user fees or maintained road access.
- The nearest town, Burns Lake, is five kilometres from the park.
- Bring your own drinking water, as potable water is not available.
- The weather can be changeable, and overnight freezes are possible well into May.
- Additional camping options can be found 10 kilometres away at Kager Lake Recreation Area.
