best camping places in vancouver image
Gillian
We are thinking of moving in 2010/2011 and will be looking for somewhere with a flourishing hospitality industry. Ideally we'd be looking for somewhere in or on the outskirts of the city with good links to more scenic areas as we both enjoy camping and hiking etc. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Answer
Your best bet is Vancouver, especially with the Olympics heading there that year there will be a lot of hospitality jobs available. You can get a decent price living in the suburbs there as the downtown core has extremely expensive living costs. There is plenty of nature around that area, some of the world's best camping, and you won't have to deal with the snow, but be warned it rains every day...yes every day but not the whole day, usually an hour or so because of the Rockies that are so close by.
Another option would be Ottawa but unless you are bilingual in French and English you will have an extremely hard time finding a job here, it's mostly government employed so not really a big boom in the hospitality industry but you can definitely get more for your buck here in terms of living costs compared to other cities in Canada.
Finally, the biggest boom will be Toronto, but with the recession I hear it's quite hard to find a job there right now.

Does anyone know of some good backpacking camping areas in BC?

We're planning on going to Canada in late July/early August and we're trying to find a good place. We'd like to stay in the south of British Columbia, not too far north or east. Also, nothing on the island. We don't have any 4-wheel drive vehicles, so ideally we would like to park our car somewhere and then hike into the campsite. Does anyone have any good ideas? Also, if it could be near a body of water or steam, that would be preferred. All suggestions welcome!
The only reason I said not too far east is because I'm coming from southern Washington, so it's a bit of a drive.
Also, I have been looking at various camping websites, I'm just looking for more personal experiences. There's only so much that can be said on general websites. We're looking for something more secluded, not a lot of people.
Also, fire is a must. So if the park doesn't allow it, it just won't work out for us.
