Gathered another truckload of firewood this weekend from near the Atlas staging area just north of Chinook. Was mostly for a buddy, but we did have some big fires each night too. Chatted with a beyonders and thier dawg, or maybe that was two beyonders? swam in the lake, drank too many beers, all in all, great weekend.
Need to learn how to tune up my chainsaw. It's running very poorly.
Going back to chinook next weekend too. Supposed to be hot again.
If anyone wants a site a chinook for Sunday-Wednesday next week, pm me. Have a buddy who can't use it, and neither can I.

We really enjoyed the weekend out at Chinook, thanks again ExtraSlow!
Perfect weather, many beers were drank. Ended up booking another site at Chinook towards the end of September, very nice spot.
Did they revise the camping for BC provincial parks to allow albertans? I couldn’t find anything but old news articles saying that Alberta residents couldn’t camp in bc parks this year..
Still this on their site.. let me know if it changes, as we still want to camp in Fernie
What is your policy on out-of-province visitors?
Since parks re-opened in June, British Columbians have been provided with priority access to camping this summer and BC Parks has worked to ensure that only BC residents can make reservations this year.
To further maximize opportunities for B.C. residents, non-residents with reservations made prior to May 25, 2020 were encouraged to cancel their reservations for a full refund.
Non-B.C. residents are not prohibited from being in BC Parks and, as a result, users should expect to encounter non-residents in our parks on occasion.

Not sure if that means you might be successful showing up for a FCFS (non reserved) site but we're limiting our camping in BC to national parks only.BC Parks is not taking reservations from out-of-province visitors this year.
There was a news article a month back about some Albertans who got kicked out, after initially being allowed into FCFS. I guess it's on a different webpage that the provincial parks aren't letting any oop'ers, period.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Unless it's random camping, you're hooped
I heard some private camp sites in BC allow outsiders, it's the public ones that aren't
Sig nuked by mod.
Provincial FCFS is allowed as well, plenty of people from Alberta going to BC
See Crank. See Crank Walk. Walk Crank Walk.
They definitely booted out a guy from Whitetail, so unless that has changed?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I’m looking at a FCFS rec site outside Pemberton so I imagine it shouldn’t be an issue. Guess I’ll find out. Thanks everyone for chiming in.
Have been chasing backcountry objectives last few weeks
I look forward to being able to do that again. Set up the trailer as a base camp in a site, and then backcountry a couple of nights.
Some personal stuff is messing up my camping plans, so if anyone can use a site at lower lake this weekend for Friday, saturday and sunday nights (monday departure) please PM me. I had planned to be there six nights starting tuesday, but can't make that work. Only using the first three nights now.
Weather not amazing, so check that before you commit. Unserviced site.

Got back from Firerock today. Most of the sites were crap, but the one we booked was the most private site Ive ever had. Was huge, and by itself, away from the others. The entire campground was very quiet at night. It ws nice to not have to deal with late night drunkards.
The star gazing was amazing 2 or the 4 nights there too. Its in one of the darkest areas of the province.
Couple spots opened in castle falls this weekend fyi
Heading down to police outpost tomorrow morning, forecast looks nice
