Is there a cost for tenting overnight in Recreation Sites?

Recreation Sites and Trails BC manages approximately 1,300 recreation sites. There are two basic types of recreation sites – those with fees, and those without. At paid sites, camping fees are charged for services which may include supervision, daily maintenance and facility/structure maintenance, and are payable in cash to an on-site operator. Prices may increase on weekends and range from $12-$15 per night for a person, family or party of six. Sites without fees may not provide services, and some may be user-maintained. To determine fees by location visit the ‘Search by Facility or Activity’ webpage of Recreation Sites and Trails BC.

Adventure Mom

Alenna, raised in British Columbia, has been camping and playing in the outdoors all her life. Her earliest camping memory is at age 2. She was sleeping in her parent’s camperized van and was woken up by her parents frantically trying to to scare a bear away by flashing their headlights on and off. Today she continues to camp with her own family without further bear incidences! You can find her racing in triathlons, practicing yoga, snowboarding, skiing, hiking or lazing in her lawn chair at a hidden campground gem.
