You can camp right next to the parking lot at TWall. Otherwise there is a new hostile in town. The OBED has that couples property they rent out for $5/person/night. The new OBED guide describes it.

Both Chatt and the Obed now have hostels. As far as I know, the only website for the Obed hostel is on facebook (search Obed Hostel on there).

Additionally, I always try to give a shout to Del & Martie's "Lily Pad" climbers' campground, which is walking distance from a lot of Obed crags. It's awesome, stay there, great people, always a Southern bbq party during holidays, it's great.

Chatt. has very few good cheaper campgrounds. The T-wall parking is the best that I know of. There was talk last year of a campground opening up near Deep Creek/LRC, but I haven't heard much about it this season.

Apparently there is tons of forests you can primitive camp in around the area of the Obed if you do not want to stay at Marty and Dels. Just another option.

The campground at Deep Creek/LRC got shutdown. The locals (homeowners around the golf course) stepped in last minute and said not happening here.

Or maybe the T-Wall camping. I've run into a few "hostiles" out on that road over the years.

Stayed at Del's this past week and it was a great experience. Wonderful campgrounds with awesome dogs.. Not to mention... Only at Del and Marte's will you find a ready to light fire waiting for you after a long day at the crag. All I can say is that they are incredibly generous for a mere $5 a night. Give em a visit!
