Description
BC’s bestselling camping guidebook—now expanded to include the national parks of the Canadian Rockies in honour of the 150th anniversary of Canadian Confederation.
In this fully revised, expanded, and updated edition of her bestselling camping guide, Jayne Seagrave lays the groundwork for anyone planning to get out of the city and explore the best that nature has to offer. Whether you’re camping with kids, travelling in an RV, or looking for a comfort upgrade, Camping British Columbia, the Canadian Rockies, and Yukon offers over 150 possibilities for campers of every age and experience level. Released to coincide with the year of free admission to Canada’s national parks, in celebration of 150 years of Confederation, this edition includes a brand new chapter on the national parks of the Canadian Rockies.
Learn which campgrounds have interpretive programs, playgrounds, and safe swimming beaches; pick out parks with flush toilets, hot showers, and nearby restaurants; or find out which campgrounds are RV accessible. This book lists the location, amenities, and recreational activities of every government campground in the region and includes dozens of black and white and full-colour photos. Campgrounds are listed alphabetically with clear maps and directions.
