Popular drive to campsite on Slocan Lake. Wragge Beach is one of the prettiest beaches on Slocan Lake.
The spacious campsites along the lake shore are shaded by trees. A wide beach that curves gently for several hundred meters in both directions is safe for youngsters and invites beach walking. A rocky outcrop extends out into the lake, making a scenic shoreline. This site is a popular destination campsite for vacationing families. The lake offers good fishing, boating, swimming and board sailing. Four walk-in sites at the south end along the shore are best for kayakers.
There is always a camp host who collects fees for camping.
If one tires of lazy beach days, a hike into Shannon Lake or Wragge Lake should satisfy the urge to stretch the legs.
