BC Residents only
BC is making it very clear that it is BC residents only in the provincial campgrounds. If a camper were to have non-BC plates, they could/will be refused. https://www.castanet.net/news/BC/300622/Ca...

I've been wondering about this very topic myself, and how things will play out. I have read some conflicting information, depending on the source.
A group of us are planning a fishing trip to a lake near Merritt the first weekend in June.
Several of us are attending. 2 from Penticton, 1 from OK Falls, 1 from Kelowna, and myself from Alberta....
I'm wondering if I will run into any kind of challenges since i am no longer a BC resident. I used to live in Penticton years ago.
Location is a rough, totally unserviced area by a lake, FCFS. Park ranger wanders through and collects a nominal fee based on nights spent.
Hope I don't drive all the way from Calgary, only to be turned away....
Could leave the TT home, come out in my car and occupy a spot in a buddy's MH. I prefer my own space though.
It's a tough call, if basing it on available info. There is a lot of real estate that is NOT part of the BC Parks system. I am thinking that if your lake is not a reservation type location, that you will be ok. Emotions are running high, right now and you will need to judge the situation accordingly.
