Title: Peace River camp grounds
Post by: Toomey on October 31, 2005, 07:28:17 PM
Hey I was just wondering if anyone on this site has been down to the camp grounds on Peace River where you are allowed to ride right out of the campsite, and through some trails in the area.  It's not a huge place, maybe 1000 acres at the very most, but it's a nice spot.  Just wondering....

I used to go there every Janurary with a bunch of guys..... But last year, they fenced off the slew that you used to be able to ride in, and the people at the campground told us we could no longer ride in the primitive camping area. Haven't been back since. If you find out something different, post it up.. that was a killer place to camp.

the slew you are talking about is called the overflo it is still under water now but you still can drive from the camp ground on your bikes ,it should be dried up in another week it is prob. about 15acres of sand and mud ,ronny

We were there about 2-3? years ago, it was a awesome campground ;D
Here are some pics... http://community.webshots.com/album/77906710MrXVOp

Last year after Charlie we went there to volunteer for the Red Cross and used our bikes for the clean-up and it was pretty bad  :( almost all the trees were down  :(
I was wondering when they would close it down to ATV's.  I know they don't allow ATV's in the season.  In the summer the place is dead, you might want to try it then.  Nice people, just hang out and shoot the $hit and see where it gets you  ;)

So you can't ride there anymore?  I don't understand what the slew is?  There was the area that you took that long pavement road to get to, and then there was the larger area back along the river.  What's closed?
Dang, I was wanting to go there sometime soon, just a nice laid back place.
