Big Bar Lake

 The following week we camped at Big Bar Lake Provincial Park near Clinton with our friends Glen and Cathy.

At this campground the sites along the lake are all reservation sites and the drop in campsites are uphill away from the lake.  Except there's a row of rv sites that are basically just parking slots with a picnic table at the end. Normally we would never camp in a site like that, but with 2 parties we're were able to create a private spot with two picnic tables and a view of the lake.

Our campsite with much appreciated bug tent and matching trailers.  Ours is the far one.

Later a large fifth wheel arrived but they camped at the opposite end of the row.  And 2 days later our friend Mark arrived and camped next to us.  On the last night 2 brothers on a motorbike tour set up their tents at the first site which is the picnic table on the right of the above photo.

In the distance on the second photo you can see a small hill.  There's a lovely loop trail leading along the lake and up that Ester and around a marsh.  It takes about an hour and a half to walk.

We stopped at a bench to enjoy the view and the wildflowers.
