BC trip direction

Just keep in mind, provincial parks are very popular during summer months in the Vancouver/Whistler area, and Alice Lake is one of those at the top of the popularity list. If I was going to give it a try, I would reserve as soon as possible.
There was a controversy this past summer with people/companies block-booking multiple park campground sites for re-renting to out-of-town/country visitors. Although I think that has been somewhat mitigated by changing some of the rules. One of the reasons I initially suggested a private RV park.
Haven't checked so not sure of the quantity/quality of private RV parks in/around the Squamish area (sort of half way between Vancouver and Whistler and in the same general area as Alice Lake).

I was just going to say that this comment from Marv is bang on. The only positive thing about camping in Provincial Parks between Vancouver and Pemberton in June, you may have a better chance with out a reservation than in July/August. Whistler has a municiple campground. Squamish may have private campgrounds. Nairn Falls PP east of Whisler on the way to Pemberton usually has lots of spots.
There are 5 Forestry Rec sites between Pemberton and Lillooet on #99 but that is a long ways from Vancouver.
