Our lake belongs to the beavers and ducks more than the humans. It’s an amazing place to watch, while swimming is best done at the river, a 5min drive away or half hour walk. A hike through the woods affords many opportunities to discover secret spots carved out of the wilderness with private views of the lake and surrounding properties. The rare wildlife around includes bobcats, bears, cougars, deer, elk and the occasional wolf. Ermine, rabbits and grouse are also common sightings. We have 2 dogs and appreciate a chance to introduce them to your dogs so they understand you’re authorized visitors, once you’ve settled in and your animals are comfortable. Thank you for your understanding! While there is a fire ban on it is ok to bring a propane stove or a propane fire pit, but we ask you let us know about it so we can help you site it safely and we can bring you watering cans to have on hand. Forest fires are a thing out here.. We thank you in advance for your cooperation on this.

Skagit Valley Provincial Park camping guide

Overview

About

In the Skagit Valley wilderness near the US border, Skagit Valley Provincial Park has three campgrounds spread out along a river and lake system. More than 50 kilometres of Fraser Valley hiking trails wind through lush temperate rainforests and up mountains, revealing incredible views of the park and into North Cascades National Park in Washington state. In addition to hiking opportunities, visitors can enjoy river and lake fishing, as well as horseback riding on 30 kilometres of horse trails. The year-round park, its 131 vehicle-accessible campsites, and six wilderness campsites can remain cool even during the summer months.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  1. Make your plans early to reserve a campsite in Skagit Valley Provincial Park. You can reserve campsites two months in advance of the date of your arrival, beginning in March.
  2. All campsite reservations must be made by phone or online at BC Parks’ Discover Camping website. When reservations are not available all campsites function as first-come, first-served.

When to go

Skagit Valley Provincial Park is busiest during the summer months of July, August, and into September. Late spring may see snow on the ground and an increase in the mosquito population. This is an active wilderness area, so it may also be common to see bears and other wildlife between spring and fall. The Skagit River and Ross Lake may experience high water levels during the spring and summer run-off season. In winter, the main campground is closed but wilderness camping is permitted, subject to weather and access.

Know before you go

  • Skagit Valley Provincial Park doesn’t have wifi, and cell phone service can be very spotty.
  • Bears are very active in this park—be bear aware and keep dogs on a leash.
  • Campfires are permitted and firepits are provided at each campsite. Park operators encourage visitors to bring a portable stove for cooking.
