Travelling from Calgary to Vancouver

[Brett_G]

Hi, my wife and I are travelling through the Rockies. We would really like to find nice places to stop and Boondock. or nice campgrounds that will hold our 40 foot rig.
Can you help us? Please and thank you.??

Thank you so much. I will check a lot of those spots out.

I like to use BC Prov. Parks. They are easy to find. Sites are usually well separated and spacious ('industrial quality pads). And many have trails for after dinner hiking. But they aren't free.

There are also BC 'rec sites', formerly forestry ones. Their quality varies, as is accessibility. In the past I've used Backroads Mapbooks to find those. But those are better for pickup campers seeking out of the way spots.

I third Lamplighter.

The people there are amazing and over the top helpful.

We got towed into Revelstoke last summer after a major engine breakdown on the Roger's Pass. We stayed 2 weeks at the Lamplighter.
I just can't say enough good about the owners, their staff and the CG itself.

They turned a negative experience into a positive one by being so accommodating for us when we showed up without a reservation. They even helped us get our TT there when we had no tow vehicle after the breakdown.

It is a small CG, but they do have several large spots that will fit a 40 foot rig. There are several pull throughs for larger units.

Definitely phone yesterday and book something if you want to go there. They may be full already.

I traveled Route 2 across once and it was grand.

That is a big area and you didn't give any locations but Banff, Lake Louise, and Jasper all have sites big enough for you IF they haven't been reserved yet.

Try Lamplighter RV park in Revelstoke, Martha Creek Prov Park north of Revelstoke,
Lamplighter has services, Martha Creek doesn’t.
