The best camping near Granby Provincial Park guide

Overview

About

This isolated protected area in western Canada is known for its old-growth cedar forests, the headwaters of the Granby River, and its status as a significant habitat for grizzly bears in the southern Monashee Mountains. Open year-round and stretching across some 40,000 hectares between the Okanagan and Kootenay, Granby has no developed campsites, washrooms, or facilities, but wilderness camping and backpacking are permitted, as are hiking, biking, hunting, and fishing. In winter, visitors come to the remote area for snowmobiling, snowshoeing, and backcountry skiing. Campers should be experienced with wilderness camping before overnighting here.

Notable campgrounds

Tips for snagging a campsite

With no developed campsites, the wilderness camping areas in Granby are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

When to go

Granby is open year-round, and the best time to visit depends on the activities that you’d like to do. Campers and hikers will find the most comfortable weather between April and October, unless you're a fan of winter camping. If you’d like to go snowshoeing or backcountry skiing in the foothills of the Monashee Mountains, the snowiest months are December through March. Remember that the weather can change suddenly as your elevation increases.

Know before you go

This is a very isolated wilderness region. Hiking trails are not marked or maintained, and campers should be prepared to manage any unexpected situations on their own. Rangers don’t staff or regularly patrol the park.
No drinking water is available in the park. Bring your own, or purify the water from streams or lakes before using it. Take bear precautions to secure your food and campsite, too, since grizzly bears are common.
To reach the southern end of Granby Provincial Park, leave Highway 3 at Grand Forks (west of Christina Lake) and travel north on North Fork Road. Sixty-five kilometres of this route is on a gravel road.
