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...

I think a lot of people find that when they get to BC or AB, the genral need for full hookups is not the same as you might want in south Texax or Arizona. IMHO to really enjoy the beauty and grandeur of BC, a person needs to spend some times in the provincial parks. Whoever picked the location of the PP in BC did a great job.
Most of us drive self contained RVs so a shower is not a problem for most of us. We just take much shorter "navy" type showers in the provincial parks. I can go several days just on battery power, as seldom do we need an air conditioner, etc. Just switch the fridge and water heater over to propane and since it is light most of the night, seldom do we even need to turn a light on in the rig. Some electricity to run the circuit boards in the fridge and water heater, to run the domestic water pump is about all we use. On occassion I will connect the inverter to recharge our computer battery or the iPad battery but that doesn't take much power to do.
If a person has some medical need for 120 volt power, then that would be different. When we leave Florida, we stay at commercial campgrounds plugged in to hookups, till we get to the mountain west. When we get to the high country where it is cooler, we start staying at the govenmental type campgrounds. To me, the main items I search for are scenery, quietness, a well taken care of CG, at a reasonable price. I know others prefer to stay only at commercial campgrounds where they can plug in, so whatever works for each of us, is available.
