Hicks Lake

Amazing little spot. No showers! They have running water from the taps like most provincial Campgrounds but this water has to be boiled to drink it. They have pit toilets (outhouse) so again, no running water.

It's quite, no traffic or noise from the city (just generators for 2 hours twice a day). The road in is washboard in places so takes a long time with a trailer but it's not horrible.

The foliage on the trees starts higher up so there is less privacy than some other campsites.

There is absolutely no phone reception at the campsites. If you go to the rocks you can usually send and receive texts but I could only get any data before 7 am. I found this surprisingly refreshing. (I suggest downloading a few shows for kids if you are there for more than a few days).

The lake is fully amazing. It's clean and clear. It's cool but not as cold as Harrison Lake. This is our new favorite Campground!!

Highly recommend it if you can get a spot.
