	        |      Staycation - car camping locally.       
			
			Gents any ideas where to go for car camping locally ? I’ll be working from home, i figure i might as well go camping at the same time since the weather is nice.    
The regular camping sites seem like a bad idea due to this social distancing requirement. Is there some trail or off the beaten path place that has nice views for car camping ?

			Uhm. If a provincial campsite is too ‘close together’ for your social distancing then no amount of fresh air can help you

I got a vw sportwagon with 4motion so nothing too crazy is preferable   |       West harrison forest service road up to about 20-25 km has reasonable cell reception.  
Was getting LTE in some spots.  
I'd head out that way. Lots of spots here and there and the road appeared freshly graded when I went in about 4 weeks ago.  
Didnt hit any snow.  
Take bear spray and leave a trip plan with someone.         |

			If you go to the west side of Harrison proceed with caution, in December there was active logging. If you don’t have a radio, take the corners slowly.

This is probably as local as it gets for camping. Has free wifi as well.

			I don’t see west Harrison forest service road on google maps. I found the east forest service road but I guess the west road is the other side of the lake ?

Follow it north from there and you'll see it.  
Alternatively invest in a copy of the backroads mapbook        |
