The best camping near Nairn Falls Provincial Park

Just 20 minutes north of Whistler off the Sea-to-Sky Highway, Nairn Falls Provincial Park is an excellent base for exploring Whistler, the Pemberton Valley, and nearby Garibaldi Provincial Park. The park’s falls are the primary highlight at 60 meters high with a viewpoint accessible via a fairly easy, 1.5-kilometre hiking trail. The park’s forested campground consists of 94 vehicle-accessible campsites close to a waterfall and hiking trails, including a portion of the Sea-to-Sky Trail to One Mile Lake. As the park is located in a mountainous and treed location, the weather can remain cool even during the summer months. Wildlife viewing may be common, particularly in spring.

1. Make your plans early to reserve a campsite in Nairn Falls Provincial Park. You can reserve campsites two months to the date of your arrival, beginning in March.
2. All campsite reservations must be made by phone or online at Discover Camping, the BC Parks reservation portal. When reservations are not available, all campsites function as first-come, first-served.

Nairn Falls Provincial Park is busiest during the summer months of July and August and into September. Springtime may still see snow on the ground, fewer crowds, and the possible emergence of wildlife. In winter, the campground is closed and trails are not maintained, so visitors use them at their own risk. 

• This park is an excellent overnight stop before continuing onto the scenic Duffey Lake Road to Lytton.
• Nairn Falls Provincial Park doesn’t have wifi, and cell phone service can be spotty.
• Campfires are permitted and firepits are provided at each campsite. However, park operators encourage visitors to conserve wood and protect the environment by minimizing the use of fires and to bring a portable stove for cooking instead.
