Fees
Fees are collected by the Tetrahedron Outdoors Club, for cabin maintenance, fire wood delivery and contributions to a plowing fund to keep the road clear in winter. (though officially the road is unplowed)
Fees are $10 dollars per night per person and are the same for all four cabins. You can pay fees online on the Tetrahedron Outdoor Club website.
Access
Access to the park is achieved by taking the Langdale ferry from Horseshoe bay, driving 30 minutes north west on Highway 101 to the town of Sehelt. At the second set of street lights in Sechelt turn right and right again at the first stop sign. Follow this road 15 minutes north until reaching the Grey Creek Logging road on the right side of the road. This FSR is recently deactivated and as such now has large cross ditches making low clearance vehicles inadvisable. The first 3 km of road also offer significant elevation gain. (Read: steep with big ditches) After that the road levels nicely and the drive to the parking lot is quite manageable. Time to parking lot from UBC=3.5-4 hours depending on wait at the ferry and how long you drive around Sechelt looking for the Tim Horton's before realizing that there isn't one.
