Many of the campsites offer a river view that will take your breath away.   The Carters Camp campground area is where the Montagneuse River empties into the Peace River.  This makes for many interesting areas to hike and explore.  Campers can enjoy playing in the water and also try their hand at fishing!  Keep your eyes open for wildlife along the river and high on the banks.  

This area is named for Art and Anna Carter who were pioneers of the area and settled near the mouth of the Montagneuse River in 1917.  A monument to this adventurous couple can be seen along the road into the campsite.

The building became the Dixonville Museum and opened to the public showcasing many artifacts of the community settlement. The original building and restoration of this museum showcases the strength, determination and cooperation of the pioneers of this region.
