SuperhostBest time to visit Allison Lake Provincial Park
Late June through August offers the warmest weather, best swimming conditions, and reliable access to the lake and day-use beach. Early summer and early September bring thinner crowds at this first-come, first-served park, and the park is known for its spectacular stands of aspen that burst into golden colours in the fall, making September a scenic shoulder-season choice. Spring and late fall visits should be planned around cold nights and the chance of snow on Highway 5A.

The day-use area offers a sandy lakeside beach for cooling off on hot summer days. The day-use area is found on the southern shore of Allison Lake, across Highway 5A from the campground, and the beach is fine white sand that varies in size with the fluctuating lake levels. There are no lifeguards on duty in BC Parks. bcparks.ca/allison-lake-park/

Good trailer for trips. Owner was great at communicating with us. It doesn’t come with many blankets or pillows so just make sure to pack your own.

Great trailer. Love how the toy hauler back drops down. Not much is included in the unit (including kitchen stuff, bedding, hand soap, garbage bags, etc) so come prepared. Steve provided much of what we asked for in the end, so just make arrangements. We had no service so Steve came by after we settled in to make sure everything was ok, which was very kind. We were grateful for the generator as we needed to recharge the trailer battery a couple times. The drop down bed from the ceiling is great, probably a queen size which I didn’t expect. Overall a good experience with our 2 kids and dog.

How to get to Allison Lake Provincial Park
The park sits 28 km north of Princeton along Highway 5A, the closest community being Princeton. From Merritt the drive south on Highway 5A is roughly 50 km, and from Kelowna it is about a 2.5 hour drive via Highway 97C and Highway 5A. RV drivers should watch for the winding, rolling sections of Highway 5A through the Nicola Valley, be ready for winter tire and chain requirements in the shoulder seasons, and note that Kelowna International Airport (YLW) is the most convenient option for fly-and-rent trips.
