About

A convenient overnight camping spot for travellers on Highway 1, this is also a popular base camp for visitors enjoying river rafting, fishing, and exploring the Thompson River area. Enjoy the awe-inspiring views of the Thompson Canyon and quiet strolls on the old Cariboo Wagon Road amongst the western mountain ranges. An introduced herd of elk thrives nearby.

Skihist Park was established in 1956. Back then most visitors to provincial parks camped in tents or small trailers. Camping methods have changed and the campsites have recently been reconstructed to provide accessible accommodation for the larger camping units used today.

Arrangements for guided river rafting trips may be made in Lytton or Spences Bridge.
