Cultus Lake

A great spot to go camping (~1hr and a half east of Vancouver, BC). We tented at the Provincial campground which is located next to the lake (our site was very close to the boat launch) The tent site was fantastic= close to washrooms, fresh water, hiking trails, and a children’s playground. We brought our dog which limited us to certain areas (the public beach did not allow dogs but found some secluded small beach areas where we could have our dog). Great lake surrounded by mountains. Great for boating and other watersports (you can rent different water crafts). There is a fantastic waterslide area, kids park and a putting course for all. We had some fantastic sushi for lunch and then traditional camping fare for dinner.

This is a great area which is within an hour of Vancouver. While it is a nice area with a Provincial Park it tends to fill up very quickly with folks from the city. With a nice day use area at Entrance Bay along with the multiple camping areas it is a quick way to get away from the city. Just make sure to reserve if you are going camping.
