BC Rec Sites

Our maps show you hundreds of rec sites across BC, from highway-side rest stops to remote campsites far up a logging road and water-access recreation sites on the province’s many lakes. Unparalleled forest service road and trail coverage shows you the best access route to even the most remote rec site, and we show you all the nearby outdoor recreation opportunities including hiking and mountain biking trails, fishing holes and natural attractions. Mapbooks, GPS Maps, the Backroad Navigator app and our BRMB Canada Web map include written descriptions of rec sites with information on access, number of campsites, reservations, amenities and activities. For digital products, rec sites are georeferenced and searchable, while our Mapbooks contain an easy-to-use index to help you find the exact rec site you are looking for.
