A Better Camper

About this site

This site once had a forest fire lookout station which was dismantled in the fall of 2007 due to continued vandalism. However,the lookout is still a great place to drive up to the top, have a picnic and enjoy the view on a clear day. Views to the southeast (overlooking Merritt and Lower Nicola and southwest (Stoyoma Mountain)are great but the weather can be unpredictable. A good day use site on a clear day. Note access is very rough and not recommended for any camping unit being towed.
