When?
If it’s this weekend ( August 4,5,6 &7) it’s a Stat weekend in BC and Alberta. In BC it’s called “BC Day Long Weekend”
The lakes in that area especially the BCRS campgrounds ( British Columbia Rec Sites and Trails) which Suzanne Lake is , will most likely be full.
Being a long weekend and so close to the Alberta boarder with BC we get a huge amount of Albertans flocking to BC because we have lakes and rivers to play at, Alberta doesn’t have that stuff near as plentiful as BC has, so they come here.
I haven’t camped there is 25 years, and when I did it was before BCRS came into being, so it was even more primitive then than it us now.
It’s not that far from the Hwy, so you could drive in and have a look, but if it’s full, the area to turn around could be limited. The road in won’t be graded so it will mostly be rough especially in this dry weather we have been having, as well keep an eye out for low hanging branches. Grading for gravel roads in this weather ( extreme fire rating ) is not taken lightly for fear of sparks coming off the cutting edge on the grader blade, so the chances are really really low that that road is in good condition.
I also see on the BCRS web page that it states it’s ok for trailers and campers… I’m thinking it might not be suitable for a 35ft 5th wheel. I had a 35ft 5er before my truck and camper, and the main reason I got rid of it was it limited me to where I could take it off into the bush.
If it were me… I wouldn’t try with a 35ft 5er.
