Best time to visit Charlie Lake Provincial Park
Late May through early September offers the most reliable weather for RV travel, with long daylight hours and warm days suited to swimming, paddling, and fishing on Charlie Lake. July and August are peak season and the busiest time for the campground and day-use area. Shoulder months of May and September bring cooler nights and fewer crowds, and taps are shut off during the off-season, so RVers should arrive with full fresh-water tanks.

- Canoeing and Kayaking EasyRV parking available
Charlie Lake's southwestern shore offers a calm launching point for paddlers. Canoes and kayaks are welcome, though there are no rental services at the park, so visitors should bring their own watercraft. bcparks.ca/charlie-lake-park/
- Swimming EasyRV parking available
The park offers lakefront swimming during the warm summer months. There are swimming opportunities, but there are no lifeguards at provincial parks, so supervise children closely. bcparks.ca/explore/parkpgs/charlie_lk/
- Disc Golf EasyRV parking available
A disc golf course rounds out the park's day-use activities. Disc golf is available at this park. It's a good option for RV families wanting a low-key afternoon close to camp. bcparks.ca/charlie-lake-park/
- Wildlife and Birdwatching EasyRV parking available
The mixed aspen and spruce forest supports a variety of wildlife viewable from park trails. Large mammals such as moose, white-tailed deer, mule deer and black bear are fairly common throughout the area, while squirrels, chipmunks, beaver, snowshoe hares and muskrat are more likely to be seen. Birds of the open woodlands are abundant in summer with species like the Northern Oriole, rose-breasted grosbeak, ovenbird, American redstart and white-throated sparrow much in evidence. bcparks.ca/charlie-lake-park/

How to get to Charlie Lake Provincial Park
The park is easy to reach by RV from Fort St. John, which sits about 11 km to the south. The park is located 11km north of Fort St. John at the junction of the Alaska Highway and Highway 29. Drivers coming from Dawson Creek, the official start of the Alaska Highway, should plan roughly 85 km (about one hour) north on Highway 97, while RVers from Prince George face a longer haul of roughly 470 km (6 to 7 hours). There are no tunnels or steep mountain passes on the approach, but watch for wildlife, frost heaves, and long fuel gaps farther north on the Alaska Highway. The nearest airport for fly-and-rent trips is North Peace Regional Airport in Fort St. John.
