Access Issue: Camping
Details
The popularity of Squamish within the #vanlife community has increased to the point that there is great concern about the group’s collective environmental impact. “Wild” or “Freedom” camping has become unmanageable environmentally because of the high numbers of campers. This is a serious issue that causes conflict between locals, home owners, and climbers!
VAN CAMPING / WILD CAMPING
Within District Boundaries
The District of Squamish PROHIBITS camping within the municipal boundary. This includes sleeping in a vehicle anywhere within District boundaries. A bylaw gives the District the power to issue tickets for contraventions.
Camping on urban / residential streets is prohibited under pre-existing bylaws.
The “hot spots” that have been of most concern are below.
· The whole of the Mamquam Forest Service Road under the North Walls of the Chief between the junction with the 99 and junction with the Stawamus/Indian Arm Forest Service Road (as a salmon run and sensitive riparian area, camping close to the Stawamus River is especially inappropriate)
· The Powerhouse Springs Road including the parking area for the Fern Hill cliff
· The dirt road to the kitesurfing “Spit.”
Outside of District Boundaries
If you explore forest roads in crown land outside the municipal boundaries, it may be possible to find discreet roadside sites suitable for tents or van camping. However, the provincial authorities do have some restrictions ;
· Stays are limited to 14 days.
· Campers should follow Leave No Trace principles. HUMAN WASTE is a major issue.
· Strictly observe any current fire bans.
DESIGNATED CAMPGROUNDS
Please see the District of Squamish website for a comprehensive list of designated campgrounds.
Recommended affordable camping:
- At the Chief: Stawamus Chief Provincial Park Campground BC parks site, spots start at $10.00 CAD/person. No reservations.

Description
A new crag in a pleasant location within earshot of Shannon Falls. Excellent, grippy stone with climbs ranging from 5.5 to 10c, a nice mix of traditional and sport. The base area is flat and stays in the shade all day, most of the climbs dry quickly after it rains. A standard rack to 3" including some small gear, with extras in the .3-1" range with be plenty for most people. A 60m rope is needed.
Many thanks to Nick McNutt for his scrubbing and cleaning efforts.
Getting There
From the main parking lot at Shannon Falls, walk past the washrooms and gift shop on a paved trail. Keep trending left until you see a grassy field. Walk past the field and towards the Sea to Sky gondola. Take the gravel path for ~100m until you see an obvious trail leading off and to the right towards the AMO Wall. The crag is about 3 minutes along this path and to the left.
