Our first post will begin with a very straight to the point question: are you an adventurer, a nature lover and an explorer? If so, you’re in the right place. In the following lines (and the upcoming ones), we’ll share some of the best places in British Columbia – but not limited to it – to embark on a road trip from Vancouver. So, let’s get this started. Take notes, enjoy the visuals, and allow us to be part of your trip planning. Oh! And please share your moments with us by hashtagging us on Instagram: #vantrip. Enjoy it!

Just a couple of hours driving from Vancouver, six kilometers north of Harrison Hot Springs, Sasquatch Provincial Park is a perfect camping destination, featuring three campgrounds: Lakeside, Bench (close to Deer Lake), and Hicks Lake. Since the campgrounds are adjacent to those lakes, they’re good options for fishing, boating and swimming lovers (although it may be cold for swimming in spring time, so it’s more ideally in summer). Speaking of summer, you don’t have to wait until then to make a trip to Sasquatch Provincial Park. Yes, it’s probably still soggy out there right now, but it will be dry and sunny soon. If you think about, spring – which is an alternative camping season other than summer – is not that far, and in the meantime, you can work on your trip planning. Keep in mind that in peak season you need to make a reservation for the nights that you are going to be camping with plenty time in advance. In other seasons you should reserve beforehand too, but since it doesn’t get as crowded as in summer time, some sites are set for first come, first served visitors, but you have to be willing to get there before 7am.

The campgrounds are equipped with day-use area with picnic benches and plenty of green grass. Clean running water and pit toilets are available in all three sites. So don’t forget to pack your picnic basket before hitting the road. Make sure to shop for non-perishable groceries so the food won’t go bad while camping. And last, but not least, do not forget an almost vital item in a camping trip: mosquito repellent spray! I’m sure you will want to keep those bites away, eh? ;)
