This video was so helpful and full of great information. We shared it with our friends in Whitehorse who are coming to BC next year. Thank you for all the research and time you put in to making this. We will also pick up the brochure you showed - next year’s copy. All the best!
@@lorip2109 Glad it helped! As you know, many B.C. Parks still have some FCFS campsites, but these seem to be minority, at least in the lower,part of the province. Off season more of the ‘reserved sites” become FCFS as well, but few campsites remain FCFS only so we wanted to flag those for folks who don’t always like to travel on a schedule.
Locally in the lower mainland, Rolley lake is FCFS during the winter season. Oct 16 to March 27. Good for weekend getaways. Winter camping is available at Rolley Lake Park (unless park road is closed due to hazardous conditions). Campsites are available on a first come, first served basis. Reservations are not available. An attendant will collect the fee and complete registration on site. Payment is accepted in cash, only. Winter camping fee: $18.00 per party per night
@@thomasquigley7040 yes, there are several parks that work that way, but we only included parks that are FCFS only, regardless of season. Appreciate the additional info! 🚐
@@chrissanderson3648 glad you found helpful! Yes, a few: Rolley Lake is open, Golden Ears usually is but currently closed due to flood damage, Cultus Lake and Porteau Cove all come to mind. Here is link as well to a previous video we did that includes all B.C. Parks open in fall and winter. Some have likely changed since however so recommend you check. note: the description lists the parks if you don’t want to watch the whole video! ua-cam.com/video/V0clIQ6xzUw/v-deo.htmlsi=InWz7NocHl0I03Me
Great video. Lac La Hache has lots of FCFS sites. Our favorite site is non reservable, so we never make a reservation. Mule Deer has a few FCFS sites but less and less every year. Just a note: Emory Creek has flush toilets. I know this from experience. Checked their website and they still do. Nancy
Thank you for sharing this information with me!! I always enjoy your channel! As always BS & BK & BC !!
@@larryvincent2098 our pleasure! 🚐
Great information, very useful for everyone. 😊
@@adrianhockey9334 🙏…and if you decide to do a trip to B.C. 😊
Outstanding info. We'll certainly reference this video again on our next visit from the states.
@@chribets glad it was helpful! 🚐

Great information thanks for sharing. Are there any campsites open all year around down in the lower mainland.

@@douglasmcbryan3705 🙏. Thanks for the tip at Emory! As you noted, less and less FCFS every year, at least in the southern areas.
Wow, that's a lot of research to put this video together. Much appreciated! But, no pics of Finch? :)
@@petefrost1787 hope it was helpful! As long as Finch is in the opening he is good! 🐱🚐
We are finding this so frustrating as well...we don't like to book ahead, just go where and when we please.
@@kathyharding2077 yes, it certainly becomes harder when you want to just explore!
