Trailer ditching on route to nitinat

My parents are in town next weekend for some windsurfing fun, and are looking to hit up nitinat. They do however have a truck with a trailer and were wondering what the deal is with the campsites just at the start of the gravel on cowichan lake. Does anybody know anything about these sites? Are they pay sites or require reservations? They're hoping to leave the trailer there during the day and make the logging road drive back at night. Any into would be mucho appreciated. Thanks!

If you are talking about the TimberWest sites those are pay sites.

Why don't they just take the trailer to Nitinat? I saw a guy do it a couple times last summer in a new Nissan 240 (or whatever the new 2 door sports car is called), and apparantly the road is even better this year, surely a trailer is no issue. Unless you are talking about a semi-truck trailer, then I'd say you can probably park that sucker on the side of any wide shouldered road you find on the way out there for the day.

Steve, I have a fully serviced lakefront and creekside RV site in Lake Cowichan on Beaver Lake they are welcome to use as it is at this point vacant. It is on the Mesachie side w/ golf and fishing nearby. Let me know. 592-3392

The north road is pretty great these days, the only section that was gnarly was between the village & the campsite.

Awesome thanks everyone. Kus i may give you a ring on thursday when my parents get here after we can discuss our options. Hopefully the weather turns around or it might be a SUP session in the rain.
