A large provincial park near Harrison Hot Springs, BC, with several campgrounds around Hicks and Deer lakes, family-friendly trails, swimming and paddling. Rough gravel access road, pit toilets only and no cell signal.
Sasquatch Provincial Park sits in the forest above Harrison Hot Springs, with lake and mountain views and two main lakes, Hicks Lake and Deer Lake. Campers can choose between several campgrounds, including Hicks Lake, Lakeside near Deer Lake and Bench. Reviewers describe it as quiet, clean and peaceful.
Facilities are simple. There are pit toilets and hand pumps for water, but no showers or flush toilets. At the Lakeside campground, one camper found sites close together with little privacy and some without shade, especially in the middle rows. Another felt Bench suits RVs better than tents. There is no mobile signal, and Harrison Hot Springs is roughly 13 to 22 km away for groceries.
The lakes are the draw. Visitors swim, kayak, canoe and fish, and the Hicks Lake campground has a playground and a small beach. Families enjoy the hiking, and one parent said the roughly 6 km loop around Hicks Lake was easy enough for a seven-year-old, with forest and lake views the whole way. The day-use area can get busy.
The main complaint is the road. The gravel access road is about 5 km, bumpy and full of potholes, so take it slowly. Taps may be closed early in the season, and the campgrounds close in mid-October.
