Approximately 367,660 square miles of impressive natural landscape compromise British Columbia, the westernmost and the third largest Canadian province.

There are an absolute ton of campgrounds you can stay at when camping in British Columbia. For simplicity sake, the region is broken down into 8 general areas: Vancouver Island, Lower Mainland, Thompson-Nicola, Kootemay, Cariboo, Skeena, Ommeca-Peace and Okmagan.
