Camping at Garibaldi Lake

View Garibaldi Lake Trail Description

The Garibaldi Lake campsite is one of the most beautiful areas to camp, however it fills up quickly on weeknds during the summer and once it's full, additional campers have to stay a few kilometers away at the Taylor Meadows campsite. Both can be accessed from the Rubble Creek parking lot and involve approximately a 9km hike to either campsite. On weekends in the summer, the Garibaldi Lake campsite tends to fill up quickly and Taylor Meadows becomes the overflow camping spot in the area.

Both campsites have pit toilets, however there is no running or drinkable water and all garbage must be packed out with you.

Camping fees must be paid before you leave the Rubble Creek parking lot and you must have proof of payment on you at all times. There are no reservations and campsites are on a first come, first serve basis. Generally the park rangers will post a sign at the trailhead or just after the 6km marker if the Garibaldi campsite is full.

Camping at Garibaldi Lake gives hikers ample time to explore other hikes in the area including Black Tusk and Panorama Ridge.
