Weekend Trip to Haylmore Creek Farm

Was a lovely secluded campsite, clean bathroom with a flushing toilet, running water and sink for washing up, sweet dog Molly and clear instructions and directions. Will definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Washtock Family Campground

It was a rainy Saturday night when we went camping but we still had a great time! Rob was there to welcome us and told us we can go see the available sites before we decide which one we'd like to take. The campground has multiple nice sites, a couple of clean washrooms, a shower, and a camp store, too. Beautiful surroundings, too!

3 nights at Lake Glamping with Beach and Sauna

My experience here was wonderful! The yurt and outdoor kitchen came equipped with more necessities than I expected and the lake and mountain backdrop was so beautiful. The beach access felt quite private and a was great spot for a morning dip and reading a book. The sauna experience was very worth it. The host was very kind, helpful, and responsive. Look forward to returning one day!

Weekend Trip to Wilderness Trails Cabins / Camping

The land was beautiful, right out there in the backcountry. Nice hikes and a lot of activities are offered. We did a hike up the mountain, 21,5 km and 1.146m ascend. Magnificent view from the mountain ridge. Lots of bear tracks and poo as well, bring spray. We’ve had 2 black bear sightings in 2 days. That’s how close to nature you are there. The Chilcotin family was very nice and helpful. Giving a lot of tips and suggestions. Kevin seems to have a good understanding of the wilderness and surroundings. We were there for 2 days with my parents but had it been longer then I’d definitely tried the guided wilderness course. All in all a great experience in natural surroundings. Best regards, Mark and Lieke

Weekend Trip to Deep Mountain Sea Cabin

The most beautiful cabin with such thoughtful details throughout. Hosts directions were clear and it was easy to find! Such a beautiful drive up here coming from Squamish. 10/10 recommend!

Weekend Trip to Washtock Family Campground

Myself and 3 others camped at the Washtock Family Campground last weekend and it was an amazing place to do so. We had so much space around us and in each direction were beautiful views of the farmland and surrounding mountains. The facilities in the campground were great, very clean and always well stocked. Each campsite even had a non-potable water supply to rinse dishes or use for boiling. The host's were very friendly and always available nearby. They run a little shop on the site to supply firewood, food, ice and all sorts of other camping supplies you might need. I would highly recommend staying here!

Weekend Trip to Deep Mountain Sea Cabin

Absolutely loved our three days at the cabin - just the right amount of comfort without overindulgence. It's a bit out there but that guarantees peace and quiet. The cabin is very well crafted and there's great attention to detail to the staying experience. The kitchen, wood burning stove, skylights and comfortable beds certainly enhanced our experience. What made it even better were the lovely hosts, the nice walk down to the river, and beautiful views. One of the best Hipcamps we've stayed at - great work!

Weekend Trip to Haylmore Creek Farm

We had an awesome stay! Hosts were very friendly and let the kids help out with their chickens in their hobby farm. Great location to explore the area. I highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Haylmore Creek Farm

Wild Farm with Mountain Views Camp with Bambi! Wildlife viewings including bears, moose, deer, geese, ducks, hummingbirds, warblers, finches and wolves. Big open 360 degree mountain views. Bright stars and open field where you can tuck into the treed edge next to the deers! The moonlight can be as bright as daytime and the stars are quite a sight. The RV sites are for RV's that are self-sufficient without the need for electricity nor water in or out (no dumping and there is no running water nor an outhouse at RV sites). RV's will be parking on grass and the site requires levelling. We can accommodate vehicles up to 39ft in length. Have your choice of bringing your own tent or using ours! New Glamping Dome Tents with Queen Sized Beds, table and chairs and hammocks including a covered counter for cooking . Unplug and Unwind to the sound of breeze through the trees and romantically flowing water from the nearby creek. There is no cell service or electromagnetic disruption here which makes for a beautiful peaceful mountain retreat. Bring your telescope for the opportunity to see clear, off the grid skies and epic star viewing for the astronomer in you. The bookings are quite private and there is a lot of space between sites. If one of the Dome tents is booked, I block off the other so you'll be the only ones on the whole gravel pad area. There are trees and visual space blocking anyones' view between sites Birkenhead Lake Provincial Park is walkable from our farm and there you can hike, fish, swim, paddle, and more! The road is a gravel road in winter would require 4x4. Otherwise we've seen many EVO cars (Prius Hybrid or fully electric Kia Niro) and even fancy Teslas and BMW sedan's on this road.

Arguably one of the most iconic views in Pemberton BC. Flat grass camping with un obstructed views of Mount Currie and the neighbouring farm fields. Abundant wildlife including deer, coyotes and bears. This site has no services and is a place to camp for the night with a great view. No bathrooms so campers MUST have a RV with a toilet installed.

Camping in Joffre Lakes Provincial Park guide

Overview

About

North of Pemberton off the scenic Duffy Lake Road, Joffre Lakes Provincial Park is an exceedingly popular backcountry destination for hikers, campers, and photographers. Main features include the glacier-crested mountain peaks and the pristine, turquoise waters of Lower, Middle, and Upper Joffre Lakes, made blue thanks to glacial silt deposits. The park and its campsites are located in a mountainous alpine location and can remain cool even in summer. The park’s campsites consist of permitted 26 hike-in only campsites near Upper Joffre Lake—campers hiking the steep, rugged 10-kilometre trail here should expect backcountry conditions and be equipped to self-rescue and pack out what they pack in.

Tips for snagging a campsite

Make your plans early to reserve a backcountry campsite—reservations open in March each year and can be made via phone or BC Parks’ Discover Camping website.
A reservation is required for any overnight stay in Joffre Lakes Provincial Park. Campers without a reservation cannot stay overnight.
Winter camping is not available between November 1 and April 15 due to avalanche risk. Be sure to check seasonal opening and closing dates.

When to go

Joffre Lakes Provincial Park is typically extremely busy from May into September. Springtime may still see snow on the ground and the possible emergence of wildlife, while the park’s camping areas are closed in winter due to avalanche risk.

Know before you go

No emergency services are available at Joffre Lakes. Visitors must be self-sufficient in this remote wilderness environment and properly equipped to pack everything out.
Joffre Lakes Provincial Park doesn’t have wifi or cell phone service.
Bring your own drinking water, as potable water is not available in the park. Water from lakes or streams should be boiled for at least two minutes.
