Callaghan Lake

Callaghan Lake campground sits at the end of the park road in Callaghan Lake Provincial Park, roughly 20 km west of Whistler in southeastern British Columbia.

It offers free, first-come, first-served primitive camping during snow-free months, with tent sites adjacent to parking and pit toilets on site. No elaborate amenities are provided, keeping the setting wild and natural.

The campground fronts the lake directly, with a gravel slope that serves as a hand launch for canoes, kayaks, and paddleboards. The water is famously clear and light green but very cold.

Beyond paddling, the broader park supports hiking, fishing, and boating, and the surrounding subalpine terrain draws Nordic skiers and ski tourers in winter.
