Monck Provincial was really pretty. The drive from Merritt is gorgeous, we passed many pastures and cattle guards to get to the campground. We stayed there in August and it was quite warm but many sites had shade for a good portion of the afternoon and evening. The roads are mostly paved which is good for kids on bikes. There is a small playground for young children. The "outhouse" toilets are plumbed/flush. The sites were nice and level for our tent trailer. The park had desert-like terrain and was very dry but there were many places to hang hammocks and very little bugs. Mosquitoes were not an issue. The stars and moon at night were incredible. The new park water system was having challenges so we were notified prior to arriving and we brought our own potable water. We chose not to bring our dogs swimming as there were signs posted warning of a blue-green algae issue (toxic for dogs or humans if ingested). There are a number of sites right close to the water if you can get one. The camp staff were very friendly and actively seen around maintaining all the facilities.
