Sasquatch Provincial Park sits just north of Harrison Hot Springs, with quiet lakes and forest spread across three campgrounds. It is more rustic and better value than the big destination parks, which makes it a favourite for a relaxed Lower Mainland weekend.
It is still close to Vancouver, though, so good summer dates go fast. The useful questions are which campground to choose, what services to expect, and what to do when the reservation page is already full.
Sasquatch camping quick facts
The campgrounds
Hicks Lake
The biggest campground at 72 sites, on a swimmable lake with a beach, boat launch, and trails. It is the most popular base in the park and opens with full services for the main season.
Bench
A 64-site campground near Hicks Lake that opens as needed during busier periods, so it is worth watching when Hicks Lake fills up.
Deer Lake (Lakeside)
A smaller, quieter campground of 42 sites that stays open year-round, with winter camping depending on snow. A good pick for a calmer, off-season trip.
