*PLANNED BURNING (Posted November 27, 2024): Burning at Wycliffe Regional Park will take place as part of our wildfire risk reduction efforts in the new campground. This work will begin soon and happen when weather and venting conditions permit. The burning is expected to take 2 weeks to complete.

The RDEK is in the process of developing 20 non-serviced seasonal campsites at Wycliffe Regional Park as part of an effort to continue to offer an exceptional recreational experience to the public, provide more local camping options, and enhance local amenities.

The sites will be non-serviced and there will be no impact to the current amenities at the park. Our goal is to create more opportunities for people to enjoy and explore the park, and take advantage of the walking and biking trails, picnic areas, horseshoe pits, ball fields and disc golf.

There will be 12 tenting or smaller trailer sites (trailer length under 18 feet), and 8 pull-through sites (max trailer length 32 feet). These sites will be open May-September annually.

A more detailed background is available under the "Project Background" tab below.

PROJECT UPDATE: SEPT 16, 2024

Construction is now well underway. Between August and November, the focus is on:

• Developing Campsite Sites 1-20
• Developing and Improve Campsite Access Roads
• Installing Campsite Amenities (communal water lines, kiosks, fire rings, outhouses)

Our anticipated completion date is spring 2025 (as construction will shut down over the winter months).

This project would not have been possible without the funding support from the Province of BC.

The RDEK has been exploring the development of 20 non-serviced seasonal campsites at Wycliffe Regional Park as part of an effort to continue to offer an exceptional recreational experience to the public, provide more local camping options, and enhance local amenities.

While the development of a seasonal campground has been almost four years in the making, it was dependent on receiving grant funding. On April 20, 2024, the Province of BC announced $518,223 has been approved for the campground development through the Rural Economic Diversification and Infrastructure Program's Economic Development funding stream.

The sites will be non-serviced and there will be no impact to the current amenities at the park. Our goal is to create more opportunities for people to enjoy and explore the park, and take advantage of the walking and biking trails, picnic areas, horseshoe pits, ball fields and disc golf.

Once developed, there will be 10 tenting or smaller trailer sites in a treed area on the east side of the park and 10 pull-through sites along an existing hay field that will be open May-September annually.

Wycliffe Regional Park is 164 hectares in size and is one of the RDEK's largest regional amenities. The park is now open year-round and in addition to the summer recreational offerings, this past winter, the RDEK introduced a groomed winter trail bike network.
