Hi, my name is Dave. My family and I would like to welcome you to Nile Point, a secluded campsite located on 20 acres of privately owned, oceanfront property on Nelson Island, BC. I consider it the closest thing to paradise. The first you'll need to know about this property is that it's only accessible by boat. This is what makes the campsite so secluded and peaceful. Transportation to and from the island is included with your stay. The stunning 15 minute boat ride to and from Nile Point is one of the many things that makes this a truly unique experience. The second thing you'll need to know is that we offer TWO SITES on the property, a 10x16 TENT PLATFORM and a OCEANFRONT CANVAS TENT WITH ENSUITE (NEW!) with king size bed, in-tent ensuite bathroom and fully stocked outdoor kitchen with potable water, bar fridge and BBQ We have one canoe, one one-person kayak, and a paddleboard. Bring your own water exploring devices if you wish. Our beach is rocky (it ain't a sandy beach!), so bring your good water/rock shoes! This is a great place to stay and explore if you love the wild. It's off the grid, so if you want to unplug from devices and do nothing but relax or play in the ocean and explore the forest, it's perfect. That said, there is cell reception should you need it and a solar charger if you need to charge your devices. There's free parking at the pickup/drop off location in Egmont. Egmont offers a pub, a fancy restaurant, and a charming convenience store with wi-fi. We can take you in to town during your stay for an additional charge.

Sunshine Coast Green Zone

3 sites · Lodging, Tents2 acres · Gibsons, BC

This property was purchased nearly half a century ago. For the majority of this time the forest section you will be camping in was left undeveloped, apart from a few mountain bike trails. Recently, as a family, we have seen a large increase in the people traveling to the Sunshine Coast to escape the city limits. Unable to rock up to a campsite and pick our spot like we used to, it was easy to see a growing demand. We have taken everything we love about camping and done our best to give you a sense of what life on the Coast is really about. Please note: By entering onto the property you release all liabilities towards us as hosts. You are choosing to camp in a forested area that contains many hazards as well as potential threats. These include but are not limited to; Wild life (bears, bob cats, cougars etc), Fire is a serious threat to this region during summer months strict no smoking policy is in effect. Care should be taken walking around uneven surfaces. All campers are required to stay within camp boundaries fail to follow these protocols will result in being asked to leave. Please respect this piece of land as much as we do. ~Hope you enjoy your time on the Sunshine Coast

The best camping near Alice Lake Provincial Park guide

Overview

About

Named for Alice Rose, a settler, ranch cook, and outdoorswoman, Alice Lake Provincial Park is located off the Sea-to-Sky Highway (Highway 99) between Vancouver and Whistler. In BC’s Coast Mountains, the park has four freshwater lakes—the largest is the park’s namesake. Hikers can walk the Four Lakes Trail that loops past them all, or climb other hiking trails for views across the Tantalus Range. You can go mountain biking on park trails and roadways, too. Swim from the two sandy beaches, go canoeing or kayaking, or explore by paddleboard. For campers, the 96 vehicle-accessible campsites and 12 walk-in sites, which are all reservable, are a short walk from Alice Lake. The forested camping areas have a sani-station, electrical hookups, and washrooms with flush toilets and hot showers.

Tips for snagging a campsite

Campers should make reservations as early as possible, particularly for stays in July, August, or September, when camping areas can often be full on both weekdays and weekends. Book yours online through BC Parks Discover Camping site. Do your research in advance, so you’ll be ready to book your campsite as soon as reservations open.
In March, for one to two weeks following the park’s spring opening, sites are available on a first-come, first-served basis, but they’re reservable in advance for the rest of the camping season.

When to go

Camping season at Alice Lake Provincial Park normally runs from mid-March through October. This locally popular park is within day trip distance of both Vancouver and Whistler, so it’s especially busy throughout the dry, temperate summer and mild autumn, and on weekends for much of the year. The park gates are locked from November through mid-March, although it’s possible to walk into the park if you’re prepared for snow and winter conditions.

Know before you go

You can stock up on groceries, outdoor gear, and other supplies in the town of Squamish, 13 kilometres south of the Alice Lake Provincial Park entrance. The park sells firewood and ice, and there’s a summer-only concession stand.
In the summer months, you can rent kayaks, canoes, stand-up paddleboards, and pedal boats in the park. The day-use area has picnic tables and a playground a short walk from the parking lot.
Two campsites in Alice Lake Campground A are wheelchair accessible, and the campground has wheelchair-accessible picnic tables.
Alice Lake Provincial Park is located in bear country. Be sure to properly store food and garbage, and don’t keep anything in your tent that might attract a bear.
