Camp Free in BC

Camp Free in BC is a unique book offering precise directions to hundreds of free campgrounds throughout British Columbia.

With Camp Free in BC as your guide, you'll reach all these campgrounds—easily and safely—in a low-clearance, two-wheel-drive car or a big RV. You'll make your weekend or vacation more adventurous by avoiding expensive, crowded, noisy, commercial campgrounds. And you'll fully appreciate British Columbia's magnificent backcountry.

Camp Free in BC covers Vancouver Island, the Sunshine Coast, the Coast Mountains, the Monashee, Selkirk and Purcell ranges, the Okanagan, the Shuswap Highlands, the Cariboo Mountains, the Chilcotin Plateau, and the Canadian Rockies.

Some of the campgrounds described in Camp Free in BC are big, organized, groomed, much like provincial parks and nearly as popular. Others are tiny, rough hewn, seldom visited, almost certain to offer solitude. Many are hidden just a short distance off paved roads. Some are deep in the woods. All are accessible by 2WD.

En route you'll savour a fresh perspective on the stunning geography of this glorious province. You'll be astonished at where British Columbia's seemingly endless network of backroads can take you. Even with Camp Free in BC's detailed directions, you'll feel the excitement of discovery.
