Marble Canyon Park

Camping, Hunting and Fishing in Thompson.

Marble Canyon Park offers quiet camping between Turquoise and Crown Lakes, with stunning geology, rich history, and great fishing and birding.

Marble Canyon Park

Marble Canyon Park is a small, quiet campground, set between two small lakes Turquoise and Crown. This park is popular with fishermen and birders. 

Nestled in the rugged Pavilion Mountain Range. The limestone canyon in which Marble Canyon Park is located is a rather rare geological formation in British Columbia. That’s what makes picnicking here such an unusual experience.


The weathered peaks, surmounted by the remarkable Chimney Rock, have the appearance of a crumbling castle wall. This canyon was once part of a Pacific island chain, another section of which lies in the northwest corner of the province. A waterfall on the far side of suitably named Turquoise Lake reminds you of the power of the elements to eventually wear all things down.

Visit historic Hat Creek Ranch and the town of Lillooet, both nearby. Explore the area, rich in the history of the Interior Salish people and the pioneers who followed the gold rush and homesteaded this area.
