BC camping guide for the Exciting Whistler Corridor of Beautiful British Columbia.

"I can't understand why I flunked American history. When I was a kid there was so little of it."

George Burns

Welcome to the BC camping information site for the Whistler corridor.

First, let’s take a look at what we mean as the Whistler corridor.

The corridor stretches from Squamish,(Stawamus Park) less than an hour from Vancouver, through Whistler, Pemberton, Mount Currie, Lillooet, to Lytton and Cache Creek. Arguably the most beautiful 250 km (150 miles) of camping opportunities in the world. Within the corridor you may park a quarter million dollar class A motorhome in a gorgeous park like Alice Lake, or pitch a tent next to a glacier at Joffre Lakes. You can take a shower with nice hot water at Birkenhead Park or refresh yourself in the ice cold water of Duffy Lake.

"The choices are many and varied. A camping heaven on earth."

There are three private campgrounds in Squamish. Dryden Creek, Eagle Ridge and Paradise Valley. They offer full service hook ups and the rates run from $30. and up.

Riverside RV resort and campground will be found in Whistler.

Camping Magazine is a great site to obtain the latest news on camping.

Nestled in quiet little valleys lie nice areas for nude camping and naked camping where those who wish to do so may have the privacy they may want. BC camping is the best.

Each year a growing number of friends who are interested in gay camping gather near Whistler to enjoy the outdoors life.

Red Heather is a great little camping area for hikers.

BC Hydro have three campgrounds in the Lillooet to Gold Bridge corridor. These are free campgrounds and contrary to what you may think, they are very good.

BC Parks have some very nice campgrounds along the corridor. BC camping doesn’t get any better.

Alice Lake is a popular place and a very busy one as well. It is located 13km (8 miles) past Squamish on the right.

Nairn Falls is a half hour drive past Whistler on the right. Nice big trees, roomy sites, and with a 20 minute walk to the amazing falls it rates very highly as one of the best areas to camp.

Camping games are a wonderful way to pass away the hours with the family in your BC camping area.

Motorcycle camping opportunities are everywhere in the Whistler corridor.

Birkenhead is located 17 km (10.5 miles) West of D’Arcy off Highway 99. On a scenic lake.

Campsite at Duffy Lake

Trout fishing at Duffy Lake is excellent.

There are about 5 sites here. Further along towards Lillooet you will find a few more. These are called BC forestry sites. Most are free. If you like the sound of rushing water to lull you to sleep, this is it. Coyooshe Creek is very fast flowing as the water bounds along through the ever narrowing valley adding excitement during your BC camping experience.

RV camping supplies are available all along the corridor. If you are interested in checking out used camping trailers you whould inquire at some of the dealers in the Langley area. Camping beds, camping air mattresses and camping tent equipment are available at Mountain Equipment Co-op and Walmart stores.

After a very scenic, twisting drive through very interesting mountains, you arrive at Lillooet. Watch for the BC Hydro campground sign on your right. If you are able to find a sight it’s yours free. Maximum stay is 14 nights. Water and pit toilets are supplied and the caretakers keep the place very clean. There is even fire wood free for your use.

Two more Hydro campgrounds are located at Carpenter Lake on the road to gold Bridge.

Skihist Provincial Campground 6km (3.5 miles) north of Lytton Provincial Campground is not exactly in the corridor but offers the best BC Camping along the number 5 highway between Cache Creek and Hope. If you turn left onto the number 5 highway at Lytton and drive just a few minutes you will see it on the right. This campground has a host, good washrooms, dumping station, big lots and a nice location for an evening stroll across the highway and a fantastic view of the Fraser river and the trains that negotiate the curves and tunnels of the CPR main line.
