Campgrounds and RV parks near Kispiox 1, BC

Kispiox is a Gitxsan village at the confluence of the Kispiox and Skeena Rivers in northwest British Columbia, reached from Highway 16 north of the Hazeltons. The area is known for steelhead and salmon fishing, totem pole carving, and access to the Rocher Déboulé range. RV travellers typically base out of provincial and municipal campgrounds along the Yellowhead corridor between the Hazeltons and Smithers. Seeley Lake Provincial Park sits closest to Kispiox, roughly 10 km west of Hazelton on Highway 16, with a small vehicle-accessible campground beneath the Hazelton Mountains. Further south toward Smithers, Tyhee Lake Provincial Park is 15 km southeast of Smithers, near the village of Telkwa, and Smithers Riverside Municipal Campground and RV Park provides in-town sites on the Bulkley River. Glacier View RV Park adds a private option in the Bulkley Valley. West along Highway 16 toward Terrace, Kleanza Creek Provincial Park protects the Kleanza Creek Canyon and important salmon spawning habitat, and migrating pink salmon may be seen each fall as they spawn in the creek, making it a useful stop when routing between Kispiox and the coast.

BC Parks manages reservations through its provincial reservation service. As of 2026, BC Parks accepts reservations no earlier than three months ahead of the scheduled arrival date, reduced from four months previously. Seeley Lake Provincial Park offers vehicle accessible campsites on a first-come, first-served basis; campsite reservations are not accepted, so plan to arrive earlier in the day during peak summer weekends. Tyhee Lake Provincial Park offers vehicle-accessible and walk-in sites, with some reservable and others first come, first served, plus electrified sites and a large groupsite. At Kleanza Creek, 10 of the 34 sites are reservable, while the rest are first-come first-served. Smithers Riverside Municipal Campground and RV Park and Glacier View RV Park take bookings directly through their own systems. For long weekends and steelhead season, secure reservable sites well in advance and have a backup first come, first served park in mind.
