About this campsite

Boat-access-only recreation site on Stuart Lake near Fort St. James, BC, offering one free primitive campsite with table and toilet for self-sufficient campers.

Battleship Bay Recreation Site offers a single primitive campsite on the eastern shore of Stuart Lake, accessible only by boat approximately 13 kilometres from Fort St. James in the Bulkley-Nechako region. The free site sits at roughly 690 metres elevation and provides basic amenities including a table and primitive toilet, with no potable water available. This remote location suits boaters and paddlers seeking a quiet overnight stop on Stuart Lake. Given the boat-access-only nature and minimal facilities, campers should come fully self-sufficient and prepared for backcountry conditions. Contact the managing authority to confirm current site status and seasonal accessibility.
