Now I’ve been camping in campgrounds and out in the bush for free for as long as I can remember. There are tons of places up here that you can park over night or even camp for free, you just have to make sure you know where you can’t park overnight or camp.
So here is a list of a few places you “CAN’T” camp or park for free overnight:
Any Canadian National Park, BC Provincial Parks, most cities, towns or villages, any private property, any First Nations reserve, or any places posted by signage. There are a couple of Walmart’s that don't allow overnight parking in BC that I know of, but I believe that’s because of a city bylaw, and not because Walmart won’t allow it. There are probably exceptions to the list I have written above so don’t jump all over me if you know of an exception to one or the places on my list.
Have fun on your trip.
