The campgrounds at the Alice Lake Provincial Park will be opening this week. “BC Parks confirms that Alice Lake campground will be opening on March 15,” a BC Parks media relations said.
Surrounded by mountains and dense forest, Alice Lake Provincial Park attracts thousands of visitors every year. The park has 108 campsites, and reservations are available and highly recommended for the busy summer season. There are as many as 55 vehicle-accessible campsites and one group camping area with electrical hook-ups. There is an extra $8 per night fee for using a site with an electrical hook-up.

“You are strongly advised to make a reservation well in advance of any stay at this park planned for July, August, or September,” says BC Parks. “The park is usually full even on weekdays, with little turnover of campsites in the morning. On some particularly warm weekends, the parking lots may fill up, and additional visitors will not be able to drive into the park.”
Last year, BC Parks introduced a new ‘Notify Me’ feature to the camping reservation service. This feature allows people to be notified when a previously booked campsite becomes available at a specific campground. People can create up to five different availability notifications for reservable campgrounds for any date. If a campsite becomes available for the desired date and location, people will receive an email confirming that the site can be reserved.
Visitors should note that the section of Four Lakes Trail between Edith Lake and Alice Lake (South Beach) and the trail around Alice Lake are permanently closed to cycling. However, the remainder of Four Lakes Trail is closed to cycling between May 1 and September 15. E-bikes are permitted on signed or designated trails within Alice Lake Park.
BC Parks also reminds people that it is illegal to leave food and garbage unsecured and unattended. “Store all food and scented items in a vehicle, hard-sided trailer, or bear-proof locker. Campers failing to ensure their camp is secure of attractants may be evicted from the park and issued a violation ticket under the BC Wildlife Act”
