Campgrounds are essential cycle tourism infrastructure for bikepackers and others. The key question is not just whether camping exists, but whether a rider arriving under their own power can realistically stay there.
This guide highlights camping options that may be useful to cyclists travelling in British Columbia, including public and private campgrounds, national, provincial, and regional parks, recreation sites, and other overnight outdoor stays. Cyclist-relevant details can include hiker-biker space, no-turn-away practices, potable water, washrooms, food access, charging, safe places to leave loaded bikes, and whether reservations are required.
