Rapids Campground

Rapids Campground is a Recreation Site (REC0024) situated along the banks of the Chilliwack River in British Columbia, accessed via Bench Forest Service Road off Chilliwack Lake Road.

The site offers approximately 28 forested camping spots divided between a main campground and a dedicated Staging Area, making it a popular destination for off-road enthusiasts.

The Staging Area accommodates large rigs and off-loading of motorbikes and ATVs, with access to the Bear Cub Beginner's Riding Loop — a multi-use trail also open to hikers — as well as the broader Chipmunk motorcycle and ATV trail networks.

The campground is monitored by a roaming host based nearby at Chipmunk Peninsula. Note that fishing is not permitted on this stretch of the Chilliwack River.

The site has been closed until further notice due to storm damage; check current status before planning a visit.
