Free Camping Sites in Canadian Rockies or on Coastal Route

I plan to come up from the States and go through Canada - the Northern Rockies probably. In the U.S. I can usually find dispersed camping sites in National Forest or BLM land - no fees charged.

Is there anything like that in Canada?

 

That's a tricky question @cort. We have tonnes of Crown Land everywhere and you can probably look up Provincial Crown Land. For example - Camping on Ontario Crown Land to get more information. The fees are little [because you are not a citizen] and you still have to comply with the Laws of the Land.

But you know something? With the dollar rate US bucks go a lot further here - I'd be looking at a National or Provincial Park. Everything is on line and you can let your fingers do the walkin to get the information that you need.

 

I will check it out - do you guys have park passes up there by the way - month long - six month long? - something like that?

 

You will find much the same in Canada as the United States - though I'm not sure how Quebec works. I'll check out some sites for you and send you the information in a few days.

If you are a hunter and planning to bring guns into this country you need to do exactly what our laws specify. We are a lot more strict than the US and our law is a lot different.

 

Thanks - no worries about guns....or hunting...I "hunt" plants not animals.

Thanks for letting me know, though.

Appreciate the help

 

Actually...non citizens will have to pay a fee - but certainly not very much. You have to be over 18 as well.

 

As well, check and adhere to any fire bans in the area's you plan to camp in.

BC is like a tinder box in the summer..

 

Good point.
