Camping Reservations & Permits

Circuit and campground reservations are handled by BC Parks, not by us — they set the dates, the fees and the rules. We rent the canoes once you have your dates.

Getting here

Bowron Lake Park is located about 120 kilometers east of Quesnel. Drive north on Highway 97 through Quesnel, then follow signs onto Highway 26, which leads through Wells. Approximately 1km before the historic townsite of Barkerville, turn left onto the Bowron Lake Road. From there it’s another 27 km to the park entrance on a wide, well-graded dirt road where a 25 unit front country campground and the 116 km wilderness canoe circuit are located.

Quesnel is the last major town before Bowron Lake Circuit. If you need fuel, groceries or supplies, this is the town to get them.
