Camping places similar to Second Beach?

Jennifer H

Hello,

My group of friends have been going to Second Beach for 3 years every summer and we are trying to find a new location that is very similar to it in a sense that it is primitive camping. Second beach was a secluded camping area where the camp site was hidden from view from the beach yet about 20 feet away from it. It had no bathrooms, running water, or electricity. We also had to hike about 1 mile to get to the campsite/beach.

Pls let me know if you have any suggestions of where to camp that is primitive (no state parks pls bc we hate the rules/regulations that they impose)

Answer
It helps if you explain which state your "Second Beach" occupies. I will guess that you are talking about Washington State. I suggest that you look over dispersed camping in National Forest or, more specifically, designated Wilderness Areas. National Forests usually do not require the dispersed camping permits of National Parks.

Where to go for Grad Camping Trip on Vancouver Island, BC?

Q. im planning a grad camping trip for my high school grad class on Vancouver Island, BC... possibly around Parksville, Tofino, or the Gulf Islands....but I don't know where to go. We would want a place that isn't particularly family-oriented, because we're young and will inevitably make some noise. A place with like a group campsite would be best. we don't need any special amenities, just a campfire, some bathrooms, and showers. Any ideas? anything will help!!

Answer
You should look into the group camping areas in Strathcona Provincial Park.

Where to go camping in BC?

MangaMan

Need an amazing camping experience this summer.

Any people here ever camp in British Columbia? Where would you recommend going? Details appreciated (why here, locations, maps, camp sites, etc)

Thanks!

Answer
A really neat place to camp in BC is Ruckle (sp??) PArk on Salt Spring Island you get to camp in a grassy area right on top of these rocks next to the ocean all night the sound of the wave on the rocks are just amazing. Salt spring has neat shops, a farmers market, and right by the park is a cool old farm and farm house you can tour. Nice walking trails too!

Where are the best places to camp in Alberta?

Q. We are looking for a place that is by a lake (if you can call it that they are more like sloughs here) with decent rates. No RV places please we are all young and don't mind roughing it... a bit.
I would prefer if you have personal experience staying there not just hearsay.
Thanks a million

Answer
k...

I live in Lethbridge I go to the University, I camp lots in Southern Alberta. But I'm from Strathmore originally, and I love camping so I'm gonna name my 4 favourite camping spots in Alberta (I haven't camped much in Northern Alberta, so I can't comment on that).

1. Waterton Lakes
- Great party town in the summer time... can't really go too crazy at the campsite though.
- The campsite is in the middle of the town, but it's really convenient. Take boat rides into the States, EXCELLENT HIKING. you can climb mountains safely with no experience as well.
- Way cheaper than Banff.
- downside is the lake is way too cold to swim in.

2. Wyndham Provincial Park
- Near Carseland. Doesn't seem like anything too special at first (it's in a river valley with the Bow flowing through it). But great parties at the campsite. Tons of trees, huge campsites, just generally amazing.

3. St. Mary's Reservoir
- Between Magrath and Cardston.
- Awesome view of the mountains, campsite is free most of the time.
- I usually camp here to fish, great walleye in the resevoir. the Lake is clean, there are boaters on it, and it's not too cold.
- Borders the Blood Indian Reserve, so lots of them camp there. They may seem sketchy at first, but trust me, they are an awesome bunch! Great people, great times.

4. Picklejar Lakes/Kananaskis
- I forget exactly how to get there, a buddy of mine knew the path. You'll have to ask around
- Not very well known, nobody there... you have to portage to get there ... no roads = no vehicles.
- Very secluded.. semi-dangerous... but spectacular! Especially if you enjoy fishing (that's why they call it picklejar lakes, exaggerated from the notion you can dip a picklejar in the lake and get fish).
- Lake is kind of cold, but not TOO bad. If you like portaging and roughing it up alot you'll love this place.
- Free.


I'll include a 5th becuase Picklejar may be off limits or you may not want something to that extreme.

5. Travers Dam/ Little Bow
- Little Bow is near Milo (it's actually a huge Resevoir and covers alot of Vulcan County).
- Great place, really beautiful. Good Prairie camping.
- If you basically want to make use of a lake you can go nuts here. Be careful during peak season though.. lots of boaters.


If I were you, though, I would choose areas in BC. Near Cranbrook you got Moyie Lake, that's not bad. Further in you get Kootenay Lake, check out Nelson, Creston, .. take a free ferry ride.... maybe even go north through the Slocan Valley to Nakusp. i would recommend that WAY before I'd recommend anything I just mentioned.

Good place to camp near Vancouver/ Burnaby?

this is th

Is this place accessible by sky train? Bus? Does it have a lake / beach to take a little boat out?

Answer
This is probably what you are looking for:

http://www.camping.bc.ca/camping_vancouver_coast_and_mountains.aspx

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!

How much would it cost to go across Canada?

best camping place in bc image

John

From BC to New Brunswick? I'll be driving a RV with a couple of friends. and also gas price?

Answer
Hi: It depends upon three main things: 1) cost of accommodation in motels, hotels, hostels or camping sites 2) meals at restaurants, places like McDonalds or buying food in grocery stores and making your own and 3) gas prices which can vary as much as fifty cents per litre. Google says it is 5,694 km. from Vancouver to Moncton and would take 2 days and 16 hours to drive it. We have a 5th wheel and tow it with a diesel truck and get about 12 litres per 100 km. Therefore the gas if your RV is similar would be roughly $700.00 if you didn't take any detours and the price averaged out at $1.00 per litre. Good luck, I hope you get the chance to do it, it really is a remarkable trip. All the best, Shari
