Campers must arrive ready to camp. If you are not prepared to stay upon arrival, or for every night of your stay, a permit will not be issued. If an unpaid site is found being ‘saved,’ or if a paid site, including ‘reserved’ sites, are unattended overnight, items may be removed at the owner’s expense and the site released as first-come first-served.

Campfires are only permitted in designated fire rings, and fire rings must not be moved. Burning of deadfall scavenged from the recreation site is not permitted, nor is the burning of treated, painted or nail-riddled wood including pallets. Use of chainsaws are also not permitted on Recreation Sites. Unattended campfires must be cool to the touch, or they may be documented, extinguished and reported to BC Wildfire.
