The campground offers fishing, and the only facility provided is a primitive boat launch. Drooping stands of western hemlock interspersed with Douglas fir cloak the domed mountains. As there are no developed trail or camping facilities, first-time visitors are advised to contact a guiding service. Many parts of this region are worth a short visit, which is what picnics are all about. Ross Lake also offers canoeing, swimming, fly-fishing, and hiking.
Organized camping is sparse in the great wilderness of the northwest.
This campground borders the Stikine River Provincial Recreational Area and is an excellent starting point for trips into this vast area. Allen Lake Forest Service Recreation Site , a medium-size campground, is located next to the town of Dease Lake. A rough Forest Service road runs southwest from the town of Dease Lake, skirts the Grand Canyon of the Stikine River, and connects with the must-see town of Telegraph Creek . Together, these provide space for more than 40 vehicles on the banks of this spectacular river. The Jade Store operates a 40-site camping and RV campground , with clean restrooms and a hot shower available.
