True that. Although we managed to get away with some rowdy teenager shenanigans at Chilliwack Lake a few times.

haha I remember going up to Golden Ears one year when we were underaged. Park Ranger drove by in an unmarked vehicle and caught us pouring Bacardi into a 2L pop bottle. Was pretty chill about it though.

I was in Harrison about a week ago and the lake is really high.

Whats the best last minute campsite without reservation? Planning to go to Stave Lake, but i heard its going to be hella packed to the bone.

If anybody is going up there friday (friday morning would be best) I will gladly pay someone to reserve me a spot until saturday 7pm. PM me!

Manning. No phone reception though.

That's the point of camping.

down part is, gotta go on logging roads to get there.
basically drive about 20-25km on the logging roads until someone in a reflector vest greets you. i think it was like $25 dollar a car. and then drive in until you like the spot. park, camp.

Stave Lake. Lower car friendly. Downhill dusty/gravel road. Easy to get to.

Jones Lake. NOT lower car friendly AT ALL. Uphill rocky/bumpy ride. Make sure you have all your food/supplies. Stores are not close by.

squamish paradise valley and surrounding area, harrison and surrounding area, stave and surrounding area tons of places in chilliwack gill, chipmunk, vedder. grab a backroads mapbook for the region your looking into and start planning.

The mozzies are starting to get pretty bad around Silver. Not quite as bad at Ross where I was for the weekend but still bring plenty of afterbite if you're headed up that way.

Why do I envision an entire weekend of all these guys sitting around moaning over the loss of their Civics' front lips and wondering how to do field repairs on banged-up catalytic converters? :troll:

RS group meet @ Soundy's cabin. Do some glamping ~ glamourous camping.

Party down, guys - we got nicely maintained gravel roads, 1500' of lake frontage, lots of clear front yard for tents... no cell service, but there is a landline to call BCAA. :D

Here's the cabin:

Agree.

Dude has Civic, so the locals' favourite/best kept secret sites accessible only via monster truck are probably not doable.

Besides, you can't go wrong with Manning. Hike a bit and you're near the water for canoeing and shit. OP did say no need for running water, toilets, etc....... real camping, LOL.

E C Manning Provincial Park - BC Parks

The last time I went camping with my friends at Manning was during high school days, so things might have changed a bit. I believe we went to Poland Lake with our canoes. If I had to do that today, I would die from the hike.

You can party too hard at Manning, so if that is what you are looking for, beware. Also, it can be super busy so try and make reservations if you can. Its not super cheap, but you pay for what you get....great facilities, large clean camp grounds, and beautiful scenery. Plus, there is a lot to do there.... Alpine Meadows, canoeing, hiking or trail walking, laying on the beach, swimming, feeding the ground squirrels (:)), etc...

Manning is one of my favorite places in the world....I was also lucky enough to work their as a park ranger one summer.

How strict are they with noise? First time going, and I'm pretty sure we're going to be quite loud haha.
