Campgrounds and RV parks near Kitimat-Stikine E, BC

Kitimat-Stikine E is a rural electoral area in northwest British Columbia centred on the Terrace and Lakelse Lake corridor, framed by the Skeena and Kitimat rivers and the Kitimat Range. The region sits within the Skeena River Watershed and is defined by old-growth cedar, hemlock, and Sitka spruce forests that thrive in moist Pacific air. Highway 16 and Highway 37 form the main access routes, connecting campgrounds to Terrace for groceries, fuel, and RV supplies. RV travellers have a mix of municipal, provincial, and private options within a short drive. Ferry Island Campground sits 3.5 km from downtown Terrace on the Skeena River. Lakelse Lake Provincial Park (Furlong Bay Campground) lies about 19 km south of Terrace on Highway 37. Waterlily Bay Resort, Braun's Island RV Park, and Wild Duck Motel and RV Park round out the nearby choices with a range of hookups and shoreline access. The area suits families and anglers: warm-water swimming at Lakelse Lake, salmon and steelhead runs on the Skeena and Lakelse rivers, and easy access to trails, beaches, and hot springs.

Lakelse Lake Provincial Park (Furlong Bay Campground) is reserved through the BC Parks reservation system at bcparks.ca. For the 2026 season, BC Parks uses a three-month rolling window, so campers can book exactly three months ahead of the arrival date. The group site is also reservable through BC Parks, and a non-resident surcharge applies to reservations after mid-May. Ferry Island Campground is operated by the City of Terrace and handles bookings directly by phone at 250-631-2716 or by email; seasonal reservations open March 15, and the caretaker manages check-in. Waterlily Bay Resort, Braun's Island RV Park, and Wild Duck Motel and RV Park take reservations directly through their own websites or by phone. For July and August travel, set a reminder for the day the three-month window opens. Long weekends fill fastest.
