Park Facilities & Activities

vehicle accessible, drive-in campsitesThe park has 14 parking lot style sites. The tables, on either side of the paved parking area are offset from their designated parking stalls. The large parking lot allows open parking and can accommodate extra vehicles or larger rigs. There are no tent sites or tent pads. Not all the tables are shaded but the elevation does help to keep it cool during the day. Open from mid June to mid September the park offers campsites on a first-come, first-served basis. Campsite reservations are not accepted. Please self register upon arrival at the campground. Check-out time is 11 a.m. If you are re-registering, please do so before then. Quiet hours are from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. and are strictly enforced.

Vehicle Accessible Camping Fee: $10.00 per party / night
Senior's Rate (during Shoulder Season only) : $5.00 per senior's couple / night
Camping Party Definitions are available here.

The shoulder season runs from park opening date to June 14th and after Labour Day to park closing date.
 

Parking is permitted only in designated lots. Parking is not permitted on roadsides or in the turn-around circle.
 
picnic, day-use facilities, no campingThis park has one day-use/picnic area located between the camping/day-use parking lot and the end of the lake. The beach is sandy, 100 metres long and has 5 picnic tables, 10 metres from the waters edge. There is an enclosed, heated picnic shelter which can be rented for special events for a fee of $35.00. Nearby are 2 sets of pit toilets and a hand pump for water.
 
There are canoeing and kayaking opportunities with easy access from the beach. Visitors temporarily park and unload at the vehicle turn around. From the turn around it is a short portage to the beach. Belly boating is also popular with local fishermen. There is no boat launch in the park. POWER BOATS ARE PROHIBITED.
 
A doublewide, concrete boat launch at the south end of the park has a large, gravel vehicle/boat trailer parking area with a capacity for 85 cars. Boat trailers can be parked overnight and boats are sometimes left in the water or beached, but the shoreline offers no protection against weather changes.
A sandy 100 metre beach provides swimming opportunities, however there is no roped off swimming area. Due to the elevation of the park the water is considered cool. There are NO LIFEGUARDS on duty at provincial parks.
 
fishingRainbow and cut-throat trout fishing are available on this lake. Anyone fishing or angling in British Columbia must have an appropriate licence. Ice-fishing during the winter season is allowed. Check the BC Fishing Regulations Synopsis for quotas and restrictions. POWER BOATS ARE PROHIBITED
  
An easy, wide, hard packed 5 km loop trail gently meanders around Nancy Greene lake. You can access the trail from either side of the beach. The trail follows the shoreline, offers lake views and will lead you through a marsh area as well as a mixed forest of pine, spruce, fir and larch. Allow yourself 45 minutes to an hour to complete this relaxing hike. For your own safety and the preservation of the park, obey posted signs and keep to designated trails. Shortcutting trails destroys plant life and soil structure.
 
cycling, mountain biking, bicyclingBicycles are permitted on all park trails and roadways.
 
pets, domestic animals in parksPets/domestic animals must be on a leash at all times and are not allowed in beach areas or park buildings. There are no off leash areas in this park. You are responsible for their behavior and must dispose of their excrement.

Help BC Parks protect the environment by reducing firewood consumption. Please respect voluntary burning hours of 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.; use mid-day fires only for cooking; for safety's sake, keep campfires small and extinguish them when no one is around. The Park Facility Operator sells firewood. You may also bring your own. It is an offense to use vegetation dead or alive to start or maintain a fire.
