Lake Camping in Our Nissan NV200 | Hicks Lake Sasquatch Provincial Park Adventure

In this 5-minute video Hicks Lake camping Vlog, we navigate the scenic back roads through Deroche, Mission, and Harrison Springs, capturing stunning views of Mount Robson along the way. Once at Hicks Lake, we set up our Ozark Trail Beach Shelter and, for the first time, our TailVeil, which gave us so much more space and kept those nasty wasps at bay!
Here’s what you’ll find in this video:
Hicks Lake Sasquatch Provincial Park tour: Tips for navigating the park during tourist season and a guide to the three main campgrounds-Hicks Lake, Deer Lake, and Bench Campground.
Hicks Lake hiking trail guide: Information about the Hicks Lake Trail.
Our camping setup at Hicks Lake: TailVeil Setup...we loved how the TailVeil gave us extra space and protected us from bugs and aggressive wasps, making our camping experience even more enjoyable.
