Tips from the community

You can stay up to 2 weeks for free at Strathcona Dam Campground. It's not a huge secret as there are about 15 sites here, located on the Campbell Lake Reservoir. What's great about this campground is that there are many smaller lakes and trails to explore nearby. It also has a small beach and apparently some good fishing.
