The park has a day-use area, modest rustic campground and boat launch, and is open all year round, depending upon the level of snowfall. Wildlife sightings include deer, moose and black bears, whose habitats are protected in the region.
About 11 km beyond the Ethel. F. Wilson Provincial Park is the first of three campgrounds situated along the western shore of the massive Babine Lake. Most people use these campgrounds as a starting point for excursions onto Babine Lake.
