If you're river rafting, you might overnight here, as Goldpan Provincial Park is used as a rest stop for many commercial river-rafting companies. Swimming is fun here, too. The waters of the Thompson River are very swift, especially in June and July during high water. And of course, panning for gold is also possible.

There are 14 camping sites at this park - each site is situated above the river bank and provides a view of the river, along with picnic/day-use sites.  There are two double campsites. During July and August this is a very popular campground and begins filling up by 4:00 to 5:00 in the afternoon. Only basic facilities are provided – picnic tables, pit toilets, fire pits, firewood and water.  The park is open from April to October and fees are collected during this time. Visitors should note that the closest store is located at Spences Bridge, 10 km north.
