"A Friendly Place To Stay"

We would like to welcome you to the Ross H. Maclean Rotary RV Park.

Located at historic Mile 52 on the Alaska Highway, the Rotary RV Park is the place to stay as you travel along this world famous highway. Located on the shores of beautiful Charlie Lake, British Columbia, 4 miles north of the city of Fort St. John, our RV Park can provide you with days of enjoyable activities. Check out some of the upcoming special events in the area.

The park is situated close to the original distribution camp and supply depot that was constructed during the building of the Alaska Highway. A plaque describing the facility and the importance of the area is only a five minute walk away from the park.

As you travel along the Alaska Highway you will be struck by the beauty that you will see. Stopping at the Rotary RV Park will allow you to see it without being rushed away. Take some time to watch one of our beautiful northern sunsets or take some time to walk along the trails by the lake shore and see the wonders of Mother Nature.

There are walking trails along the lake shore and in the nature reserve that borders the park. You can explore the Charlie Lake Cave and see where the oldest sign of human habitation in the province was discovered. Squirrels, chipmunks, beaver, snowshoe hares and muskrat are likely to be seen. Large mammals such as moose, white-tailed deer, mule deer and black bear are fairly common throughout the area but are shy and unlikely to be seen close to the park. Birds of the open woodlands are abundant in summer with species like the northern oriole, rose-breasted grosbeak, ovenbird, American redstart and white-throated sparrow much in evidence. Waterfowl are frequent visitors to the lake and shoreline and a walk through the nearby trails may rouse a sharp-tailed or ruffed grouse.

We provide you with easy access to a boat launch and fishing dock on this beautiful lake that has Perch, Northern Pike, Bass, Pickerel and some of the best Walleye fishing in B.C. The Charlie Lake General Store can supply you with fishing licenses, tackle, live bait as well as cooking supplies to make a fishing expedition quite enjoyable. Charlie Lake is also considered a Grade 1 Lake for canoeing.

Throughout the summer you may be able to take in a baseball game as local teams play each other at the nearby baseball diamonds. We provide firewood and firepits to spend your evening around or you can also ask us to open the back gate to allow you to walk over and visit Jackfish Dundees Pub for food and fun in the evenings. To make sure you enjoy your stay here and wake well rested we have a "quiet time" rule after 10:00 pm. We offer super clean facilities, including laundry, showers and handicap accessible restrooms. We are located directly across from the Charlie Lake General Store which in addition to fishing tackle, can provide you with all supplies, including gas, diesel and propane, foodstuffs, magazines, and more. There is also a Souvenir Shop and Post Office at the General Store.

The Rotary RV Park has wide road access, pull through sites, full and partial service sites with 30 amp power service, sani dump, tenting sites, and much more. For those people who need to get online we have a modem capable pay phone onsite that you can use. On your next trip along the Alaska Highway make sure that the Ross H. Maclean Rotary RV Park is on your itinerary. We are looking forward to meeting you.
