A little more rustic than the cabin circles, these tenting areas have nearby water standpipes, some grey water pits, campfire circles, some picnic tables or benches, and either outhouses or washroom blocks are accessible.
RV and all vehicle parking is limited to designated parking areas unless approved by the Camp Ranger. Roads within camp are designated fire lanes and vehicles parked illegally can be towed at the owner’s expense.
Front country areas are for tenting only. Leave-no-trace and back country requirements for food storage, preparation, and grey water disposal need to be adhered to when using these sites. Front country camp sites include:
Netsepoye
This small and cosy site is located just past the first bridge into camp and provides limited amenities, with only a campfire circle, level areas for tenting, and a new outhouse. Water needs to be carried in and all garbage carried out. Leave-no-trace and back country requirements for food storage, preparation, and grey water disposal need to be adhered to when using this site.
Lower 40
Located at the base of Lodge Hill Road across from Young Lake, this is a good site for small groups or overflow tents from Kaa and Sona cabin circles. Leave-no-trace and back country requirements for food storage, preparation, and grey water disposal need to be adhered to when using this site.
Thompson Field
The largest tenting area in the centre part of camp has a number of individual tenting areas with lots of trees for tarping, campfire circles, adjacent water standpipes, grey water pits, washroom block, and, if booked in advance, the use of Thompson Field Shelter, a 30x20 kitchen shelter with counters, wood burning stove, and tables. No vehicles are permitted in Thompson Field.
Creekside
Located just below Thompson Field, this private camp site makes a cosy location for small to medium size groups.

Trailhead to Mount Bluff
