Nahatlatch Provincial Park — Attraction in Area A (Boston Bar/North Bend/Canyon Alpine)

Although the lake and views are beautiful, I was quite frustrated that the campsites are now taking reservations although it says "first come, first serve" online. We saw a lot of reservation postings. And one group encouraged us to take a site that was reserved from Wednesday to Friday since it was late Thursday evening we did and then they showed up after 9pm wanting the site.

I understand it is up to campers to clean up after themselves and leave the area as it was. I would gladly pick up the garbage and clean the areas myself, and I do as much as I can while I visit. But I'm not going to pay for my campsite, while also cleaning up...

A very peaceful place to go. Lots of places to go hiking and so many spots for camping, which has some outhouses around. The water is so clean and emerald green.
