About Sayres Lake
Enjoy this beautiful reconstructed site on Sayres Lake, located within Mission TFL. This site is unique as remnants of historical harvesting exist shown by the massive Western Red Cedar stumps that add to the character of the site. It is illegal to damage the environment; therefore cutting the stumps or any Crown timber within a recreation site is prohibited by law in BC.
This site was primarily designed for smaller vehicles such as truck and camper units, or tent camping. There are 28 campsites, including several group sites to accommodate larger gatherings, as well 12 walk-in tenting sites where beautifully constructed tent pads await your stay.
A boat launch (TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE) and large dock are available for those interested in fishing this stocked lake, or just to explore the bays along the shoreline, however this is strictly an electric motor lake.
This site is operated by Greenshades Enterprise. This site is 50% reservation only, 50% first come. The sites are very popular and reservations are suggested. This is a CASH ONLY site and has on-site supervision. For reservations, additional information and updates, please visit www.stavewestcamping.com/
