Population
Billy Barker’s legendary gold strike on Williams Creek triggered a multi-billion dollar industrial revolution that literally built a province. Today, the extraordinary historic town of Barkerville stands as a living testament to BC’s golden beginnings. With its unique streetscape of more than 125 heritage buildings, period displays, satellite museums, restaurants and shops there is still so much to explore.
Barkerville is located 86 km east of Quesnel. There is camping in the area but another option is to leave the camper in Quesnel and do a day trip to Barkerville.
