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.
- 7 minutes north: Mamquam River Campground A non-profit site, spots start at $15.00cad/night for a drive-in site. Reservations recommended, not required.
- 20 minutes north: Chek Canyon Recreation Site A public site; no fees, no reservations and world class sport-climbing. No running water. The road is steep and rough but 4x4 not required

Description
Discovered between 2009-2011 by Jason Green, Robin Barley, and a few others, Split Asunder was lost for a period of time and reclaimed back by the forest. Many new routes were developed in 2022 and the winter saw a complete overhaul of anchor hardware. A major rescrubbing was done by ACC Squamish in 2023.
Host to numerous routes in the 5.8 - 5.10- range from crack climbing to crimpy sport and even a must-do chimney.
There are 2 rap stations above the main wall to give access to route anchors. There is a fixed line down a gully to allow access to Upper Tier routes. Nearly all routes have rap chains.
Getting There
Hike up to the base of Lumberland via the loop trail. From the base, follow a rough path on the left side up a short hill. When at the top of the short hill, Split Asunder will be visible through the trees off to your left. Follow the trail left and loop around passing a beautiful viewpoint with a bench. Shortly after this, a path leading to the base will appear on your right.
