Paddling on any large lake is a transit from one marine campsite to the next.   There are 4 backcountry campgrounds on Azure Lake.    Each has its own special quality.   They all have tent sites, a beach, a metal food cache, firepits, outhouses, firewood, and picnic tables.   The best of all the campsites is at Rainbow Falls, as noted in the previous post.   The next nearest campsites are 16km away,  Four and Half Mile and Osprey, on opposite shores, only 10 minutes of paddling apart.

Either site makes a good place to camp. Osprey is a canoe and kayak only site so it tends to be more vacant. On the north side of the hill, it is less sunny. The sites are in the forest and have not been properly graded so tents will not be on a flat surface. We chose to make flat spots on the beach.

Four and a Half Mile sits on the north side so is sunnier and more open. There were 3 nice sites in there, but a jet boat and two tents covered all 3 sites. The trail to Huntley Col starts behind this campsite. If the site had been vacant, we would have chosen it over Osprey. We paddled down the lake to Indian Point. It sits on the north shore directly opposite where the portage comes out onto Azure Lake. he sites were scattered along the shoreline, but there was one nice tent site right on the point. We would choose Indian Point if we had paddled up the Clearwater River or had portaged the forest route. If it was earlier in the day, we would paddle farther on to one of the other campsites. The river starts just past Indian Point. Our feeling was that there could be one more marine campsite between Rainbow Falls and Four and Half Mile and we saw a potential site on the north side about half way along. We were very pleased by the care taken to service all the sites. Blackwell Enterprises is a superior operator in the BC Parks system, servicing North Thompson, Pyramid, Clearwater Lake, Azure Lake, and Murtle Lake. We have used all these sites in the last two years and have seen a consistent high standard.

Our thanks.
