The park is managed through a cooperative relationship between BC Parks, the Ts ilhquot in People of Xeni , a Local Advisory Group, and the Ts yl-os Advisory Group. Activities present in the area before the park s creation, and still permitted today, include hunting, trapping, and cattle grazing. As the crow flies, the park is approximately 160 km southwest of Williams Lake, or 250 km north of Vancouver. There are two main vehicle access routes into the park, and two campgrounds, one at the end of each route. Both routes take 4 - 6 hours from Williams Lake, though travel time varies considerably depending on weather conditions.
Roads are rough, and conditions vary considerably with weather.
Drive carefully and with lights on. Please refer to the Cariboo Forest Region Recreation Map published by the Ministry of Forests for more detailed information. This very scenic but often windy campground on the east side of Chilko Lake is accessed via Highway 20 to Hanceville, then 121 km on gravel from Hanceville via Konni Lake and the Nemiah Valley. The last 5 km in to the campground are particularly rough, but the whole route from Highway 20 features poorly marked tight curves and washboard. High clearance four wheel drive vehicles are recommended.
