A free, by-donation municipal campground on the lakeshore at Fraser Lake, BC, loved for its views, swans, clean washrooms and walking path. Expect open sites and loud trains.
White Swan Park is a village-run park and campground on the shore of Fraser Lake. Reviewers love that it's free or by donation in summer, that almost every spot has a view of the water, and that the town clearly puts care into it. In late fall, swans gather at the lake, and the dock was built with them in mind.
Sites are large gravel pull-throughs and back-ins with picnic tables, set in an open grassy area. There's little privacy, and one camper said you could fit two rigs on each site. There are no hookups, and one reviewer noted a two-night limit. Flush toilets and sinks are kept clean, though one visitor found them closed in early October.
There's plenty to do for a free stop. A walking path runs along the lake and connects to trails, and it's popular with dog walkers, with bag stations along the way. The park has a playground, outdoor fitness equipment, a covered gazebo, a communal fire pit with wood, a big dock, a boat launch and a kayak launch. One reviewer mentions canoe rentals. Locals use it in winter too, for skating, ice fishing and snowmobiling.
Trains are the one thing nearly everyone mentions. They pass every couple of hours and their horns are very loud. If you're a light sleeper, bring earplugs. If you stay, reviewers ask that you leave a donation.
