This park offers 81 vehicle accessible campsites in two campgrounds: Trinity and Monashee. Full services are provided from April 1 to Oct 31. There is a gate across the road entering the park and further gates at the camping areas. The main gate is closed between 11pm and 7am during the operating season. The main gate is open to the boat launch but the road is not maintained during the off season.The campground is closed for the offseason Nove 1 to March 31.

The Trinity Campground consists of sites 33-80 arranged in three loops and includes four double sites. The roads are single lane gravel. This is the first campground encountered when driving into the camping area. The loops are set in a thick forest of cedar and hemlock that provide shade and privacy with a forest floor carpeted in moss. The loops are separated by open grassy areas and linked by a trail that runs the length of both campgrounds. The sites consist of medium to large gravel spurs that have been raised and levelled. The abundance of trees may make parking difficult for some large RV's.

The Monashee Campground consists of sites 1-32 arranged in two smaller loops and includes eight double sites. The sites are generally smaller than those in the Trinity Campground and the forest is thicker allowing for more privacy. There are more double sites but these are also smaller and perfect for trucks with campers. The sites are gravel but not raised.

There is no phone in the park and the closest store for snacks and other small items is right next to the boat launch. For more services, Lumby is the closest community.

This park has a large day-use/picnic area extending from the Trinity Campground to the boat launch. The lawns are level, open and spacious providing the opportunity for a variety of games. There are 10 picnic tables amongst the cottonwood trees that separate the lawn from the beach and provide some shade. The tables have a great view of the lake and the adventure playground. Five more tables with three fire rings are found nearer the boat launch, also surrounded by open, spacious lawn. There is a gravel parking lot with 45 spots. Four pit toilets and a tap are located in a small patch of shrubs just off the parking lot.

Depending on water levels, it is possible to walk the beach the entire length of the park from the boat launch to Taylor Creek. Taylor Creek braids and forms a delta as it enters the lake. Sandy floodplains form underwater as the light sand settles out of the stream in miniature example of the geologic process that formed many parts of the Okanagan Valley.

Some facilities in the park are wheelchair accessible.

There are eight cold water taps in the park, centrally located in each campsite loop as well as at the day-use parking area and in the group site. Water is from a well. Taps are shut off during the off-season

This park has 15 pit toilets also located centrally in each campsite loop as well as at the day-use parking area and in the group site. There are no flush toilets.

No showers.

A sani-station/dump is located at the entrance to the park across from the service area and information shelter. Drinking water is also available at the sani-station. It is available during the collecting season from April 1- Oct 31.
Sani-station Use Fee: $2.00 per discharge

While campfires are allowed and campfire rings are provided at each campsite, we encourage visitors to conserve wood and protect the environment by minimizing the use of fire and using campstoves instead. Firewood can be purchased in the park for $5 a bundle or you may bring your own wood. Limited burning hours or campfire bans may be implemented. To preserve vegetation and ground cover, please don't gather firewood from the area around your campsite or elsewhere in the park (this is a ticketable offence under the Park Act). Dead wood is an important habitat element for many plants and animals and it adds organic matter to the soil.

There are no regularly scheduled interpretive programs at this park.

The short, 1 km "Changing Rainforest" self-guided interpretive trail winds through the shaded forest carpeted in moss that is found between the campsites and the main road. It is a gentle hike taking visitors through the maturing second growth rainforest of western red cedar, hemlock and some Douglas fir. The hike takes 30 minutes.

Mabel Lake is a great spot for swimming. A very large fine sand beach provides the perfect place to warm up and dry off or just relax in the sun. The beach is separated from the lawns of the day-use area by cottonwood trees and is easily accessed from both the day-use parking lot and the Trinity Campground. Another smaller beach is found next to the Monashee Campground. The sand is more coarse but still a great spot for swimming. Both areas are marked with buoys but there are no lifeguards on duty at provincial parks.

There are paddling, canoeing and kayaking opportunities at this park. This is a fairly large lake (35 km long) and subject to sudden weather changes. Paddle near shore and explore the extensive shoreline if the weather is poor. The lake is also popular with motor boats.

There is a double wide concrete boat launch that slopes gently into the lake located at the southern boundary of the park beside the Mabel Lake Marina. There is a large 60 square meter wooden dock with rubber bumpers and pilings. Ample parking is available in the gravel parking lot. 10 angled spots for trailers are designated with cement barriers and there are also spaces for trucks with trailers. A turn around area near the launch makes backing up easier.
