What
you need to know : Lac le Jeune can be reached by taking the Lac Le Jeune Exit off Hwy #5 (the Coquihalla) 37 kms south of Kamloops or 47 kms north of Merritt. Follow signs for 5 km to Lac le Jeune Park. At Lac le Jeune Park there are 144 campsites, a large day-use area, a playground, an amphitheatre and a sani station. The campsites can accommodate camping units from a tent to a large recreational vehicle. Upon arrival during May, early June and September, choose a site and staff will be around later to collect camping fees and provide the option to purchase firewood or ice. During late June, July and August the gatehouse will be in operation. Here you can pay for your site, purchase firewood or ice, and ask any questions you may have. Unfortunately there are no power or water hookups at the sites. |
The operating season, with services, is from May 15th to September 15th, yet this may be extended slightly depending on weather conditions. The cost is $19.00/night and $9.50/night for BC Seniors during the shoulder season (following the day after Labour Day and prior to June 15th).
The gates at Lac le Jeune Provincial Park are closed in the fall when snow impedes travel through the park, and open in the spring when snow fully leaves the roadways. This date varies, however, you can generally count on the gates being open on May 1st and closed by mid November.
