Great spot! Really great facilities. Picnic tables, lake access, fire rings. No electricity or reception. Busy spot - first in first served. You can be there for 14 days in a year. We stayed one night. It was a good spot (a little busy but so worth it).

Beautiful free campsite! It was so nice we ended up extending our stay here. Around 20 sites with pit toilets, bins, picnic tables and fire rings. We arrived on Wednesday ahead of the long weekend and manage to grab one of the last sites - first come first serve.

pretty busy on a Wednesday at the start of season but we got a spot at 5pm. very pristine so less 'wild' than some other rec sites and our site was not overlooking the lake. ok for 1 night as it had bins, clean toilets etc. free!

Beautiful campground. Yes it’s free. Being the Thanksgiving weekend we were lucky to get one of two sites left. There are 20 sites (not 40), plus the campground host. 1st come first serve

Great site, were able to grab a spot midweek late in the evening. Gate was closed but not locked, be aware of that. And Google maps may navigate you to a closed entrance. Check photos for correct way in.

came here because we had to leave Buttle Lake that was all reserved . Didn't loose to change. Very nice and clean campground. Free. Outhouse better than Buttle Lake campground. Arrived here at 11h00 and 3 sites available. Full at 12h00. Free. Boat ramp.

Ended up staying here after finding a few other rec sites were full, managed to find a relatively private spot w short access to a bloody beautiful lake - suited my purpose as i had work to do on my car & the ground was very level

really brilliant camp site and wansnt busy at all when we arrived where the buttle lake prov site was fully booked.
lake water is warm, a fisherman said it was 20°c in places so it's brilliant for swimming.
only issue I have is the amount of signs, I've never seen so many signs, it's like the sign Forrest on the way to Alaska. So, if you don't like signs, don't come here.

Absolutely beautiful campground with very clean pit toilets. There are spots with a amazing view over the lake and the mountains. You can get firewood there for free. No cell service.

It’s a really wonderful campground and the best thing is that it’s free 🤩

New Campground (opened 2020), by BC Hydro & Mosaic. FREE!
Around 20 nice sites with fire pit. Very clean pit toilets, info maps and signs about the dam and area, garbage cans provided. No running water, but direct access to the lake.
It was already quite busy (2/3 of sites occupied). Sites are mostly in shade, surrounded by trees.
It was one of the nicest campsites we have been to!

Really nice new campsite provided by BC hydro free of charge.
Right on the side of the beautiful lake.
Clean pit toilets
Camp tables and fire pits at every site
Definitely worth staying a night or 2.
Access is via Strathcona Rd then an immediate left onto Elk River Rd.

A free campsite provided by BC Hydro. There are about 40 sites with most of them by the Lake. There are Picknick tables, fire rings and very clean outhouses. Probably very busy in the summer. Nice and quiet when we were there. Great place to stay!

The new BC Hydro campsite to replace the old Strathcona Dam campsite. 21 beautiful sites along side the upper Campbell lake.
