Stawamus Chief Provincial Park Campground — Attraction in Squamish

Please Read: We were harassed at this campground by another disgruntled camper.

We arrived on a Thursday evening, found an unoccupied site with an expired reservation tag(not uncommon for any normal campground). At 1200am we woke up to an angry camper shaking our car and yelling at us that we “stole” their campsite. At 200am we woke again to the sound of broken glass and rustling of a bear ripping through a trash bag.

I put my slip inside of a clear lunch bag with two rocks in it to stop it from flying around, so the...

This campground is very much “fine”, if you want to get a tent spot that is. The entire campground is folks who come in the beginning of the summer and swap tags through the duration of the summer. It’s nearly impossible to get a car camping spot (someone told us that they have been trying to get one for 3 weeks). This year the campground was absolutely packed, but we ended up getting a tent spot eventually. Squamish is the most magical place for all things outdoor, and it’s bummer that the camping...
