Canadian camping - Instructions for use Bashny.Net

Camping - one of the most brilliant strokes to the "Canadian way of life." Species "autdornyh activities" a lot - except for a banal "standing camp," the full spectrum "of a healthy love of nature" - from the specially laid "trekking routes" - where it is forbidden to build fires and establish tent - only "peshochkom." Until the infrastructure for huge - up to 48 feet, houses on wheels.

Love of nature instilled children with childhood - but so effective that they are beginning to teach the parents - "how to save the environment." Therefore, a good network of roads and developed society of consumption did not cause the conversion of space in a radius of 200 km. from the city into one big trash - as happens sometimes in some countries.

What strikes the Russians in the Canadian "park"?
Socialism is, first and foremost. All the infrastructure does not exist for pumping money from the population with a minimum investment. And to ensure fair and equal access for all citizens to the beauties of nature.

What catches the eye:

1. It is forbidden to "capturing" the coastline and fences to enclose it. Moreover - in more or less beautiful places forbidden to build private property. As an exception - may be a building of resorts, but the passage to the territory of the beach - open to all and free of charge.

The road to the camp.

2. Most of the "Park" has a total of 20 to 50 sites for tents plants. There are "monsters" under the 150 - but it is - an exception. This is not due to the fact that the "land is scarce." Just nature should not be under a "heavy load". A small number of "sites" is compensated by a large number of parks themselves - in the auto-availability of Vancouver there are about 200.

The movement of vehicles is limited - "not suneshsya" especially to any "svorotku."

3. Prices for rental services platform - more than affordable. Parking space for cars + area for tents - from 18 to 25 dollars. Over 18 service enters a public restroom "no wash" garbage disposal, fire wood for a fee. For 25 - showers with warm water, a toilet, "Flush".
Such "reasonable prices" (less than the cost of payment of working hours 1:00 overwhelming number of Canadians), give rise, however, and the specific problem - a banal lack of places - as the price they are "not regulated". Book "on season" place can be on the Internet - in fact, for a few hours "booking" is selected. For "those who did not" remain options to go "for good luck" - part of the seats to be sold "only place". Practice shows that in the end without "a place under the sun," no one is, but you have to "persevere" in the search for the free camp sites. As an extreme version - there is always a chance to come "in the daylight", all free of charge. Lack of parking.

District mountain - are still on the surrounding hills covered with snow.

4. Everywhere very clean. Forest - absolutely not touched - even deadwood. Below are the rules - that make it possible to realize.

5. Absolutely not understandable for the Russian "non-profit" principle of the organization of the service. The closest "liquor-sided" and food were on our fleet at a distance of about 50 (!!!) kilometers. And it is - with a large number of people on the beach itself is quite effective.

Here is our camp site.

6. The vast majority of camp sites are not hosted by the well-known principle of "close to the village, where the road was already", and especially - in the picturesque places on the same mountain lakes, for example. Therefore, no "civilization", "default" is not there. No cellular, no shops, no cafes or stalls with a "beer-vodka." Full "immersion in the pristine nature».

7. In spite of a very low price "services" and the distance from the police and other security forces, no uproars, "disco till the morning", massacre, etc.

"For proposals." Close the drawer with a lock.

The distance from Vancouver to Park Chilliwack lake - about 120 km. The road along the way (a large part - of Trans Canada highway №1) - about one and a half hours.

Overall impressions are very good, however, the mountain lake - the water is still chilly (end of July) - about 15 degrees.
