How to locate accessible campgrounds

Parks Canada has information on accessible travel (trails, camping/facilities and activities) and 

BC Parks has a webpage dedicated to park accessibility. Photos and descriptions about accessible facilities and infrastructure are listed, such as parking, campsite details and pathways.

Campgrounds with wheelchair facilities can be found in the British Columbia Lodging and Campgrounds Association (BCLCA) Super Camping/Select Lodging Guide; look for the International Wheelchair Symbol. The free guide is available in print and digital format and is downloadable as the Super Camping BC Mobile App. It lists many private campgrounds, RV parks, lodging accommodations, rental agencies and national parks in the province. Not all privately owned campgrounds are wheelchair accessible. Those that are, are denoted by the symbol.

What to look for in an Accessible campsite

Look for a concrete or level parking spot and flat, hard ground (as opposed to a sandy area); a harder surface allows for better mobility. An ideal site should have a 25-cm high campfire pit and accessible picnic table and be near a washroom/comfort station designed with wheelchairs/mobility aids in mind. Campground paths and trails should be wide and paved or wooden and a well-organized park will list/map wheelchair-appropriate areas. If accessible areas are not evident consult the campground staff.
