Want a wonderful camping / hiking holiday on a very low budget?
We recommend beautiful British Columbia, Canada. (Summer only, of course.)
The best guidebooks are the Camp Free in B.C. series by Kathy and Craig Copeland.
They guide you to the best B.C. Forest Service and community group campgrounds, the majority of which are free.
Expect just the basics — pit toilets and drinking water. But some of the best, least visited hikes and paddles in Canada are accessible.
The only downside is that normally you need your vehicle to get to them. Public transport and hitchhiking are poor in the wilderness areas of B.C.
Camp Free in B.C. Vol. Two: Central British Columbia
Camp Free in B.C. – Vol. One: Trans-Canada Hwy to US Border, Vancouver Island to Rocky Mts.
