Overview
A brief introduction to Garibaldi
Garibaldi Provincial Park, also called Garibaldi Park, is a wilderness park located on the coastal mainland of British Columbia, Canada, 70 kilometres (43.5 mi) north of Vancouver. It was established in 1920 and named a Class A Provincial Park of British Columbia in 1927. The park is a popular destination for outdoor recreation, with over 30,000 overnight campers and over 106,000 day users in the 2017/2018 season.
Garibaldi Park spans an area of over 1,950 square kilometres (753 sq mi), encompassing a majority of the Garibaldi Range mountains. The western side of the park is highly trafficked by the public due to access provided by the nearby Sea to Sky Highway to destinations in the park such as Elfin Lakes, Garibaldi Lake, The Black Tusk, Cheakamus Lake, and Wedgemount Lake. The eastern wilderness of the park is harder to access and therefore more remote than its western counterpart. To the south, Garibaldi Park connects with Golden Ears Provincial Park and Pinecone Burke Provincial Park, while its northern sections stretch past the Whistler ski resort, reaching nearly to the village of Pemberton.

Camper reviews for Garibaldi
Ridonculously beautiful!
Every time I visit Garibaldi, I’m taken aback by how much beauty is within a couple of hours of Vancouver.
Our recent hike up to Elfin Lakes was in the fog. It was a grey climb up and visibility was limited.
By mid-day on Day 2, the weather started to clear. We spent the afternoon exploring the Opal Cone with hardly another hiker in the area.
Our descent on Day 3 was in bright sunshine and we finally saw all that we missed on our walk up. It is truly a breathtaking area.
The tent pads were pretty full up during our stay. We didn’t sleep in the hut, but it looked pretty nice. (I suspect that if we had stayed there, others would have disliked my snoring.)
There were a surprising amount of flies in the shelter and the outhouses. I use the word swarms without a hint of hyperbole.
The facilities are good with ample bear hangs. The hut at the mid-way point even had a stove.
Bears were in the area. We kept our distance but they didn’t seem concerned with us. Still, it’s wise to keep any food and smelly things you have well away from your tent, in one of the handy bear hangs.
