This is a review of Arrowhead Campground: Horrible campsite if you are tenting. Ok with RVs.
We booked the site #8 and it was probably the smallest campsite we ever had camped, with absolutely zero privacy. We could hear every word a couple conversing in the tent next to our site. It would have been ok in a RV though. Each site is right by the water, so that was nice.
This patch of the "provincial park" is just a strip of 150 meters or so with no trails or nothing, sandwiched by private properties.
There is no rangers to go around during the night, and a group in cul-de-sac partied all night long with loud music and talking, then being waken up by crows 4 a.m. going crazy over the trash that had been placed outside of the garbage bin, as someone was obviously too lazy to lift the bin lid and put the garbage inside the trash bin.
The ranger / camp host (not sure which) cleaned the outhouses nicely, but she never returned with the campfire wood that she promised to bring around to sell later.
The water is provided by the well pump, but it tasted horrible.
The lake is absolutely beautiful with very clear water, it will be a great place to kayak, paddleboard, waterski, etc... but I do not recommend this particular campsite.
We took a look at Emerald Bay campsite, and the other one at the opposite side of the lake and they looked 200 times better than...
Read moreOne of the most beautiful national park camp sites I have ever been to. We spent 3 nights in S23, the Sunset beach camp grounds and it was a quite scenic. During July, when you hear temperatures are rising you will find water at this park is still cold but crystal clear so you can see the shallow lake bottom from the Kayak. With Sun out and longer becomes the days you can enjoy beautiful sunsets and breath taking 📸 pictures in the morning. Entire sky is reflected on water. So beautiful.
If I compare Alouette lake camp grounds to this, I would say Green Lake is 10 when Alouette is 8, in a scale of 1 to 10, where 10 is best.
Some facts:
No flush toilets. Pit toilets are truly clean and has sanitizer. Not overly crowded. Large trees and good amounts of shade. Needs bugs spray. There are mosquitoes. They will bite somehow so bring after bite lotion. That will help! July nights can go under 10⁰c, having a camp heater is a good idea as well. Sleeping bags are really handy. Greener and fresh compared to Kamloops, not desert, but more green. No boat rentals, so bring your boat or get disappointed! We saw deers. I hear lots of animal calls. Birds are everywhere. Need a binoculars and patience to spot them! There is healthy amount of cellular signal. I was fully...
Read moreAs you arrive at 70 Mile House driving north on hwy 97 you will see a sign for Green Lake to the right. This is not the official turn off for the provincial park, which is another 2km north. However, it will get you there without any problem. The lake is 9km from the hwy but you will drive a few more km to get to the campground. Make sure you know which side of the lake your campground is on as the road does not circle the lake and you will have to double back if you pick the wrong side. We have camped at both campgrounds and enjoyed them both. Recently we camped at Sunset View which is 12km down the south/east side of the lake. Nice paved two-lane road in good condition. The campground is fairly level, no services, nice beach, nice playground, good shade and quiet. There is a boat launch just outside...
