- jimbob3caExplorerThought I would share these pictures of one of my favorite sites in South-eastern British Columbia.
Camper with lake in background.
The three dots by the trees are us and two other couples camped for a few days.
This one is my wife at our evening campfire. The white dot on the farside is the only other camper at this time. Our friends arrived the next day.

Nice pics, where is that area?
Here are some shots from a favorite campsite of ours.
No swimming pool here, no recreation or arcade room, no planned activities or crafts, no electrical or water hookups, no cable, WIFI or laundry facilities. It's quite & peaceful here, the sound of a few bullfrogs or maybe the calling of a loon are usually the noisiest thing you’ll hear at night. An assortment of waterfowl, beaver and otter are some of wildlife that frequents the area.
A small area of the shoreline about 50 feet from our campsite serves as a nice kayak put in for a quite paddle and also a warm sunny area to comfort a flock of butterflies.
No bathrooms or showers, just pit toilets and a few water spigots. It’s difficult to receive a radio station. If you don’t know about the particular boulder that you have to stand on in order to get a cell phone signal, the drive for a payphone is only 20 minutes away. A pair of nesting loons forage for food and feed their chicks out front of our campsite.
Wish I had gotten the opportunity to know “Rose”. She camped here full time each season, from early May through October. She camped in a base-camp style tent with a small woodstove that provided heat for warmth & cooking and for brewing her cup of tea. She kayaked on the waters here daily. After almost completing another of season of camping here, she passed away at the age of 96. I’m quite sure she had never spent a day in a nursing home. - Leaf-PeeperExplorerHere are some shots from a favorite campsite of ours.

This was our morning ritual to go out paddling and watch the sun come up over the bay.
This is my wife paddling back to camp so we can start the day off with some tacos and a strong margarita:B Man I miss Baja right now being in Michigan and this cold weather! - everymilesamemoExplorerPacMan's Mom, that's a sweet picture!! I'm jealous!
- PacMan_s_momExplorerJust outside Canyonlands NP, near Moab, UT. We camped there May 2007, it was wonderful!

- Q_C_JohnExplorerArizona Guide, yeah, those switchbacks are a real trip. We've been seeing cat tracks in Potts Canyon up by Barnetts Camp fairly regular.
That's an interesting area, like most of the mountains around here. Gotta love Arizona:B - outbackpackerExplorerGreat pics.
- ARIZONA_GUIDEExplorerQC JOHN. That is a fun loop to ride. I used to do it in my truck about four years ago. I hunt Coues whitetail deer up top of the switchbacks. We have chased a few good lions and bears up that loop as well. See ya on the trail.
- Q_C_JohnExplorerHewitt Canyon, close to Superior Az.
