Question 1

Do I need reservations for Stemwinder Provincial Park?

Accepted Answer

For most of the camping season, Stemwinder is 100% reservable. However, because it's not a super popular campground, you may be able to stay overnight without a reservation.

If you decide to chance it and aren't able to get a site, there are plenty of other campgrounds and accommodations nearby.

Question 2

Is Stemwinder child-friendly?

Accepted Answer

Stemwinder can be a great place to go camping with your kids, but you do need to keep an eye on them. On the lower tier, the bank down to the river is steep and rocky, plus the river is fast moving. On the upper tier, the highway is nearby.
