Access Issue: Camping Details

The popularity of Squamish within the #vanlife community has increased to the point that there is great concern about the group’s collective environmental impact. “Wild” or “Freedom” camping has become unmanageable environmentally because of the high numbers of campers. This is a serious issue that causes conflict between locals, home owners, and climbers!

VAN CAMPING / WILD CAMPING

Within District Boundaries

The  District of Squamish PROHIBITS camping within the municipal boundary. This includes sleeping in a vehicle anywhere within District boundaries. A bylaw gives the District the power to issue tickets for contraventions.

Camping on urban / residential streets is prohibited under pre-existing bylaws.

The “hot spots” that have been of most concern are below.

· The whole of the Mamquam Forest Service Road under the North Walls of the Chief between the junction with the 99 and junction with the Stawamus/Indian Arm Forest Service Road (as a salmon run and sensitive riparian area, camping close to the Stawamus River is especially inappropriate)

· The Powerhouse Springs Road including the parking area for the Fern Hill cliff

· The dirt road to the kitesurfing “Spit.”

Outside of District Boundaries

If you explore forest roads in crown land outside the municipal boundaries, it may be possible to find discreet roadside sites suitable for tents or van camping. However, the provincial authorities do have some restrictions ;

· Stays are limited to 14 days.

· Campers should follow Leave No Trace principles. HUMAN WASTE is a major issue.

· Strictly observe any current fire bans.

Description

Shady mostly north facing, some sun in the morning. Best when it's been dry for awhile and hot in Squamish. It's a lot lower than Habrich and is a different approach.

It's a Secluded and the rock quality is fantastic. Alpine cragging at it's finest.

Getting There

Take Mamquam FSR (the dirt road that goes past the Slahany). Follow Stawamus FSR for awhile. It's about 10Km from HWY 99. Park when the road gets too rock to drive (unless you have high clearance). The road was washed out, but has been repaired. The following parking location is very close to the trailhead (49.666343, -123.065648). Hike down to the river, usually marked. You'll know you have the right river crossing if you see a rope bridge. Follow trail steeply for 30-40 mins.
