BC campground recommendations
We're just south of the BC border near Sumas, WA, and will be heading into Canada next week (probably... we have been taking our time because of the weather). Looking for a good campground around Chil...

In Houston BC we try to stay at the Shady Rest Park, a private one very well run and landscaped.

On the Cassiar Hwy are three of the most beautiful parks in North America and are provincial.
Meziadin Lake, Kinaskan Lake and Boya Lake on the north end of the highway. Boya is our favorite of the three. Have stayed at a private one just north of Dease Lake, Lakeside or River's edge or something like that (actually is Water's Edge) but a bit rustic for the price. They were just putting the CG in when we stopped, no showers, one outhouse for the campground but were working on it. If in the area and need a camp site, would be worth a drive into to it and check it out for yourself as it may be much improved since we saw it in 2009.
Kinaskan Lake
Meziadin Lake
Boya Lake Possibly the clearest lake water I have ever seen.
The Jade City store did offer free parking in the lot next to the gift shop. Fun stop even if not over nighting.
Also a private campground in Vanderhoof that is nice, uses the owner's first name, has good WiFi and super clean showers and laundry facilities. Just a well run campground. Dave's RV Park is the name. (had to look it up) There is a grocery store in Vanderhoof called the Co-OP that has the most outstanding deli in that area, smoked meats, cheeses, well worth a stop. Dease Lake store also has a good deli where we will stock up on goodies.
Don't remember finding a bad campground from Jasper headed west toward Kitwanga and on to Prince Rupert. The provincial ones are so nice that the private ones have to provide "extras" to attract business, which they do.
