Campgrounds and RV parks near Bulkley-Nechako D, BC

Bulkley-Nechako D is a rural electoral area in north-central British Columbia centred on Fraser Lake and the surrounding Nechako Plateau. The area sits within the Nechako Plateau, bordered to the west and north by the Hazelton, Skeena and Omineca mountains, and most campgrounds line Highway 16 between Prince George and Burns Lake or lie down forest service roads leading south toward Francois Lake and the Nechako reservoir country. RV renters typically base themselves on one of the big lakes. Beaumont Provincial Park sits at the southeast end of Fraser Lake between Fort Fraser and the town of Fraser Lake, with windsurfing, canoeing, kayaking and waterskiing as popular lake activities. Piper's Glen Resort is a private option on the same lake, while Birch Bay Resort is a year-round family resort on the northeast end of Francois Lake offering fishing, hiking and boating. Further-flung options include Nithi On The Lake on the east end of Francois Lake and Finger Lake Wilderness Resort south of Vanderhoof, both of which suit travellers who want quieter water and a longer stay.

Provincial and private sites use different systems. Beaumont Provincial Park reservations are made through the BC Parks reservation service, Discover Camping, and when reservations are not available all campsites function as first-come, first-served. At Beaumont, 16 of the 49 sites in the campground are reservable while 33 are first-come, first-served, so mid-week arrivals often find a walk-up site even in summer. Private resorts, including Piper's Glen Resort, Birch Bay Resort, Nithi On The Lake and Finger Lake Wilderness Resort, book directly through their own websites or by phone. Long weekends and prime fishing weeks fill first, so reserve several weeks ahead for July and August and confirm rig-length limits and hookup availability at time of booking.
