Can I car-camp at or near popular trailheads?
Casual car-camping and overnight parking is prohibited at most municipal and provincial trailheads and is actively ticketed at places like Cypress, Seymour, and along the Sea-to-Sky Highway. Use designated BC Parks or private campgrounds nearby (e.g., Alice Lake near Squamish, Porteau Cove, Golden Ears). Book ahead in summer.
