So this spot is at the Seton Lake Campground correct?

Awesome thats good to know, ill be showing up late and leaving early so no biggie as along as its a place to stay for the night and its free is a bonus. Thanks.

Yes, that is the open area at Seton Lake campground.

Does this spot fill up or is there usually space left? thanks again.

This is a very large open area and I have never seen it full. The actual campsites are roughly to the north and east where the road markings and trees are.

Give you a hint, if your are pulling a trailer over about 18 feet do not attempt to follow the road markings crossed with a red line.

The first 2 red lines (left to right) is actually a loop with a very sharp corner at the top end. Many people have rubbed the trees with their trailer or truck in that corner.

The 3rd red line stops at a small turnaround at the end.

Im pulling a 29ft 5th wheel so thats good about those spots, ill just stay in the open area, thanks again!

Any idea if it fills up fast i would be showing up on a friday july 8th later in the evening thanks for the tip

I frequently stay at the The Seton Lake campground (19 days in total last year). This free campground fills up fast and the best campsites with shade will already be taken. However there is a large open area that can accommodate any sized truck/trailer combination but it can get very hot out there during the day as there is no shade. Also the campground has no hookups and only has pit toilets (which though, are kept impressively clean.)



As others have mentioned, the highway between Lillooet and Pemberton is driven by 1000's of people and different truck/trailer rigs every year. Take your time descending from Duffey Lake and let your transmission do most of the work and you will be fine.

If it's full, drive on..the Cayuse River has a bunch of Forestry Campsites all along.

If you go the Duffy Lake route, there is a great, free campground at Seaton Lake, which is right on the Hwy. It is well run & free! It is run by BCHydro. Check it out, but it can get plenty hot there in the summer! When we were there last June, it was 107F in the shade!
