Campgrounds & RV Parks
After a tiring day on the road, you'll appreciate the selection and amenities available for RVer's and tenters. Within a 10 km/6 miles radius of downtown Smithers, there are at least 5 choices for your RV and camping needs. Besides a number of private and municipal facilities, one of British Columbia's famed Provincial Parks-Tyhee Lake Provincial Park-is available to you. Some of the other spots are right on the banks of the Bulkley River, a fabled steelhead and salmon angling river. And anywhere that you camp, you'll have a ‘room with a view' of the Hudson Bay or Babine Mountains. What are you waiting for-load up your RV and head to Smithers BC.
