I consider the Backroads Mapbooks essential when using Rec Sites (and other forest access roads). I suppose one could glean all the necessary info from the online maps, but it would be harder to make last minute changes in your plans.
Roads and pads are quite similar across Provincial Parks. The pads, for example, are usually large thick gravel embankments.
The rec sites are much more variable. Some are just open areas around a lake, with signs of cattle grazing. Others look like private getaways carved out by loggers. Some won't hold anything bigger than a pickup camper - and may require substantial leveling gear. Most that I've seen are some where between established US Forest Service sites and popular dispersed FS sites.
