• Always communicate your travel plans with an emergency contact. Remember that there is no cell service in the Barkerville area.

• Take extra caution in day use areas and on hiking trails to reduce risk and avoid injury. 

• Recreate within your skill level so as not to put others in emergency response, search and rescue and our health care system at risk.

• Wildlife attractants such as food and drinks must be securely stored in locked vehicles or RV units when campers are not present at the campsite.

Potable water filling stations are available outside the main wash house in Forest Rose Campground, and both wash houses in Lowhee Campground. There is also water available at the Sani-Dump across from the entrance to Lowhee Campground.

Our interior forests are extremely dry and vulnerable to forest fires. Never leave a fire unattended. Please fully extinguish your campfires before checking-out, going to bed, or leaving your site for the day. Don't be the reason Barkerville burns to the ground.
