Had a great one night stop in early June. Spacing is okay, not the most elbow room, but not crammed either. Far enough up the ALCAN to get away from the traffic. Would stay again.

This beautiful park by the river has nice large sites and pit toilets are available. There is water but it is well water and MUST be boiled before using. We only stayed 1 night passing through but would stay again, perfect spot to stop after a long travel day.
Bring Bug Spray! The mosquitoes are pretty thick! Self Service Gas/Diesel is available across the highway from this park. Cell service was not available inside the park.
The park offers swimming, fishing, hiking, biking and wildlife viewing. Fishing licenses and bike helmets are required in British Columbia.
Rated only 4 stars because of no cell service.

Clean campground. The campsites are not that private, they are pretty close together with no trees or shrubs between each. There are two sites that are really private and we were lucky enough to get one of those. There are pit toilets, trash cans, picnic tables, and fire rings.

Clean campground. The campsites are not that private, they are pretty close together with no trees or shrubs between each. There are two sites that are really private and we were lucky enough to get one of those. There are pit toilets, trash cans, picnic tables, and fire rings. There was hand pump water, however, it said to boil the water before consumption. The sites are longer in the front of the campground but, there is a large turn around area in the back of the campground, if you want to scout out the sites in the back.

An easy 1 km drive from the highway down a good gravel road takes you to this riverfront provincial park. Sites along the river are side by side but only a few sites near the front actually have a view of the river and access is blocked by some standing water.
There are a couple more seculded sites - we stayed in one of them - site 13 on the other side of the row of sites. The other is down the road in the back half of the campground - secluded and by the river but of course it was taken.
No hook ups at any campsite but there was a water pump at the entrance. Garbage bins and the front and rear of the campground plus pit toilets. Footing was gravel and it held up well in heavy rains.
Mosquitoes were bad as expected. We were able to go for a walk to the river at the end of the campground as well as just past the entrance at what is probably the day use area. River is pretty. A fellow camper warned that there was a grizzly in the area so we didn't venture far.
No cell service at all. Payment was by iron ranger - cash only. $20 Canadian with USD at par.
