Answer
This is probably what you are looking for:

In my opinion, Squamish and Whistler have the best, but they are a a ways away from the city. (About an hour's drive to Squamish, a couple hours to Whistler. Both are accessible by buses, however)
The Okanagan has some great camping, too, but I think that is a bit farther away than you asked!!
There are no real campsites in the lower mainland, just RV parks and the like, that I know of.
This one is in Fort Langley and it looks pretty nice:

Fort Langley is on the Fraser river, and the town is really cute.
Hope I helped!
