Nice, clean toilets.
Quiet spot by the river, many spaces for campervans. People parked here even though there were already 15 spots taken by campers. The only thing really bad are the sandflies,there are so many of them.

We stayed for one night in January and was very busy for both campervans and people camping in tents.
Beautiful site and people were swimming in the water and many boats were launched in the morning into the lake.
Just lots of sand flies and we were badly bitten

Nice doc campground on way to fox glacier views of lake not many sandflies as winter .
Good pH and internet service .Has a open shelter if it rains . $15 a night but I have a doc camp pass so nothing to pay .Stayed 2 nites

The three flush toilets were so clean and well stocked.
There was plenty of space and the views were just incredible. You can wake up the sounds of the river. We were so happy we stopped into the cafe too, they have a campground breakfast special (bacon + egg bagel and any coffee for $15) and it was so good. Highly recommend to stop here even just for the food.

Great place!
Stayed for one night, came late and got very last spot. Clean toilets. Cafe has really good coffee and good options for breakfast, friendly staff. Thanks for letting travelers to stay there!

Definitely recommend!
Exactly as advertised. I arrived around 10 pm and found a spot during peak season though it was pretty full. Basic facilities. The cafe is nice and the staff are lovely.
-
A nice free spot to stop with no alternative in this region.
There is not a lot of space, so be careful how you park, because other campers deserve a place too. There are flush toilets close to the cafe. There are also many sandflies, so don't leave the doors open for too long

2 adults in large motorhome, 1 night.
Quiet. Flush loos. Free. Great.
Restricted to 15 vans but beware, some parked taking up 2 spots so space might be restricted.
Loos ok but not lit so take a torch.
Cafe closed when we got there mid afternoon but was open early ish the next morning. We didn’t use it as we were driving out when we noticed it was open.
-
Not a bad spot to stop considering there is not much choice on this part of the West Coast.
Very popular with non certified freedom campers . Clean and tidy but no space between each vehicle.
-
Great site 3 spotless flushing loos with paper and washbasins.
Would be tricky for vans larger than a Sprinter. Fab Salmon Farm Cafe

Lovely spot, toilets are great.
Lots of sandflies!
There was more than 15 campers here, but all fitted in behind the line

Sandflies!!!
Especially in the morning they went crazy 😟
Otherwise the spot is amazing! Very new and clean flush toilets. Space for 15-20 small vehicles, one big stayed too, but two can't pass each other.
Please! When you drip on the toilet seat clean up after yourself!

Freecamp assez étroit, difficile de trouver un emplacement plat Toilettes récentes et propres mais sans lumière la nuit, pensez à la frontale

This place definetly deserves better rating now!
Nice place, very calm, nice new clean toilets. Maybe prepare for some sandflies which was not our case because we came during winter.
