At the campsite
The published facility is a small river camping area, with tent sites, pit toilets and boat access noted. No measured on-site hiking circuit or direct walking connection to Greer Creek Falls is established in the reviewed listing. Use the designated sites and public river access, keeping clear of unstable banks and leaving room at the launch. A separate drive is needed if combining the stay with the falls walk. Confirm current site rules and availability through Recreation Sites and Trails BC rather than assuming the small number of sites guarantees space.
