Martha Creek Provincial Park


Overview

Martha Creek Provincial Park is located 18 km (10.5 miles) north of Revelstoke on Hwy 23 N. This park has great fishing, a wharf, paved boat launch, sandy beach, sani-station, flush washrooms with showers and 76 campsites (35 of which are lakefront sites) on Lake Revelstoke. These features make this park popular with local anglers, boaters and families.

The park has had a recent expansion of 32 campsites, a new shower building, and a new sani-station is available for filling fresh water tanks and dumping black water tanks. The only provincial park on Lake Revelstoke, it hosts one of the few sandy beaches in the area and provides numerous recreational opportunities including an adventure playground, indoor cook shelter, and a large picnic field complete with volleyball net.

Its close proximity to Revelstoke adds a diverse range of attractions. Mount Revelstoke and Glacier National Parks in the rugged Selkirk Mountains nearby offer a wide range of activities. Especially popular is the paved summit road into the wildflower meadows and alpine of Mt. Revelstoke.

Reservations can be made up to 4 months in advance for qualifying campsites and up to 12 months in advance for group sites and picnic shelters. > FAQs

The beach day-use/picnic area located at the south end of the campground has 6 picnic tables 20 m back from the shore line. Nearby are an adventure playground, water tap and 2 pit toilets. The beach is coarse sand and pebbles, 300m long and flat.

playgnd-yAn adventure playground with swing set, monkey bars, and slide is located at the beach day-use/picnic area. The equipment is set in pea gravel.

campfrs-yWhile campfires are allowed and campfire rings are provided at each campsite, we encourage visitors to conserve wood and protect the environment by minimizing the use of fire and using camp stoves instead. Firewood can be purchased in the park for $10 per bundle or you may bring your own wood. Limited burning hours or campfire bans may be implemented.

To preserve vegetation and ground cover, please don’t gather firewood from the area around your campsite or elsewhere in the park (this is a ticketable offence under the Park Act). Dead wood is an important habitat element for many plants and animals and it adds organic matter to the soil.

campveh-yThe campground hosts 108 vehicle accessible campsites, including 4 doubles. Sites 1-23 are all single campsites with some adjacent to the central grassy field mixed with wildflowers that bloom in late July and August and others that have spectacular views of the lake and mountains nearby. Sites 24-76 are located near the lakeshore with a mix of single, double and pull-through style sites. All are evenly spaced, open, sunny and hot with a welcoming afternoon wind. Parking for extra vehicles is available in the day-use parking lot, additional fee ($12 per vehicle per night) for overnight parking for registered camping parties.

The park has services from May to September. Campsite reservations are accepted and first-come, first-served sites are also available. Non-reservation holding visitors can choose a site that does not have a camping receipt posted on the campsite number post and staff will come to collect fees. A park gate is located at the park entrance. The closest phone and store are in Revelstoke, a 15 min. drive south. Vehicle accessible camping fee: $28.00 per party/night

Activities

walking, hiking, trailsHIKING:  There are no formal trails within the park.  At the far north end of the campground, a short walk takes you to a kokanee spawning channel, views of Lake Revelstoke, and spots for seclusion. For your own safety and the preservation of the park, obey posted signs and keep to designated trails. Shortcutting trails destroy plant life and soil structure.

swimming-ySWIMMING: There is one open, sunny beach that parallels the group of lakeview campsites. The beach consists of coarse sand and pebbles. Cool to refreshing water with a 300m long flat beach provides excellent swimming and sunbathing opportunities. This is one of the few sandy beaches in the area. Adults can observe their children swimming from some campsites. There is no roped-off swimming area. There are no lifeguards on duty at provincial parks.
