Established backcountry camps are available in four areas of the Park, and are open year round if accessible. Spectrum Lake is the largest camp in the Park, located 6 km from the Spectrum Creek trailhead. There are 16 sites spread out along the lakeshore and up-slope towards the Ranger Cabin. Each site has a ten foot by ten foot wooden platform or framed earth pad, a fire ring and a picnic table. Some sites along the lake also have a small wooden shelter and a picnic table. A metal bear pole is located at each end of the campground for stringing up food and backpacks. There are 5 pit toilets located throughout the camp. Spectrum Lake Group Campsite is found 100m further along the Spectrum lakeshore on the northeast side of the lake. There is a large covered picnic table shelter offering a place to keep dry, although it does not have a stove. There are four double and four single tent pads, as well as a pit toilet and metal bear cache/box. Big Peters Lake is the largest of three alpine camps with 10 wooden platforms or framed earth pads for camping. Little Peters Lake and Margie Lake camps each have 2 framed earth tent pads. All camps have a toilet. Margie and Big Peters Lakes also have a metal bear pole. Camping is permitted outside of these established areas, however campers must practice leave-no-trace principals.
