Wood Lake Recreation Site
A small, well-kept BC recreation site on Wood Lake in Sasquatch Country, with lakeside sites, a dock, short trails and friendly hosts. Access is a 30-minute rocky service road.
What visitors say
Wood Lake Recreation Site sits on a clean lake with lily pads and warm water, and campers describe well-kept grounds and gorgeous, spacious lakeside sites. Each site has a picnic table and fire pit, and one visitor caught a pink sunset and a meteor shower on the same night.
The hosts are the big reason people rate it so highly. They are described as kind and welcoming, doing daily rounds to keep things clean and check permits, and selling and delivering firewood. The outhouses are kept clean.
Families like the dock and the little trails, including a short, steep scramble up an unofficial lookout often called Reception Hill, and a creek with a small waterfall about 10 minutes' walk away, full of tiny frogs in season. The water is good for kayaking and a refreshing dip, though one camper suggested bringing an inflatable rather than expecting a proper swimming beach.
Getting there means about 30 minutes on a rocky service road. A compact SUV managed fine, but smaller cars may struggle. Fire bans happen in summer, so bring a stove. Some trails are a bit overgrown but easy to follow.
