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.
DESIGNATED CAMPGROUNDS
Please see the District of Squamish website for a comprehensive list of designated campgrounds.
Recommended affordable camping:
- At the Chief: Stawamus Chief Provincial Park Campground BC parks site, spots start at $10.00 CAD/person. No reservations.

- 20 minutes north: Chek Canyon Recreation Site A public site; no fees, no reservations and world class sport-climbing. No running water. The road is steep and rough but 4x4 not required
Description
This route was a pleasant surprise. High-quality full-on 5.10 laybacking and hand-jamming in a striking arch feature. Keep your foot on the gas until a no-hands rest 25ft from the anchor, regain your composure to fire the remaining hand crack.
I doubt I'll visit Campground Wall again without climbing this route, it's a great companion piece to the quality 5.10 climbing of Rainy Day Dream Away and A Pitch in Time.
Location
The obvious right-leaning arch between Bulletheads East and Rainy Day Dream Away, can't miss it.
Protection
One bolt, the rest natural protection. Take all the gear you own - you'll want sufficient gear to protect the second on the roof. I'd recommend some micro pieces from purple Metolius to 0.4 Camalot, then doubles to #4 C4. I placed a #5 Camalot and probably could have placed two. If you have triples in hand sizes you could use them instead - there's a lot of different gear options in the roof.
There are bolt hangers for an anchor with some tat on them - if you're planning to head up there it'd be great if you took a few quicklinks.
