Francois West, Houston · A Better Camper

About this site

A 3-unit, open campground at the western end of Francois Lake on the southern shoreline. This site is popular for boating, swimming and fishing. The access road is narrow, brushy and can be rough so may be prohibitive for RV's/trailers. There is gravel/sand beach access and a gravel boat launch here. There are several species of fish in Francois Lake for anglers. Please be sure to purchase a fishing licence and consult the BC Freshwater Fishing Regulations Synopsis for limits, special regulations and closures: https://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/sports-recreation-arts-and-culture/outdoor-recr…
