Jones lake

[bassnailer]

has anyone been to Jones lake lately? Was wondering how the road up is? I hear it can be pretty bad. I haven't been up before, but Im thinking of places to camp with my daughter all the while avoiding all the crowded spots like Hicks, etc. (she's 4 next month) Also looking for suggestions for good camping spots.

hi enzo, havent been there for years, problem area is partway up, a steep section that is raw granite rock so very slippery in rain or with 2wd. get a good run at it or be in 4x4.

phone me if you wanna go camping this weekend, i have other suggestions for you. sending pm.

Funny you ask!! My family and I spent 4 days(3 nights) up there last week!
The road was the best I've seen it since the late 90's. Well worth the short drive!

For what it's worth, I've spent most my life camping/wheeling in bc and Jones is one of the better roads, just looks bad(steep). It's only 6 kms of rougher rd too.

There were about 8 travel trailers and tent trailers(including mine) up there with numerous family cars.

Do it! It's a great "free" spot.

I took my '94 L400 up there twice in June and again 2 weeks ago. On each trip, I was surprised to see small cars like a Honda Accord, a Volkswagen Golf, an Infiniti G37x, and other low clearance vehicles at the camp sites. The road up is a piece of cake for a Delica, but I imagine those low slung cars must have crawled through some spots and bottomed out a few times.
