Silver Skagit Road Turnout

Location is super pretty with trees and the river has a gentle roar as the water cascades down the rocks. Footing was dirt/grass and was relatively level. There were 2 distinct sites, both of which were large enough for a large RV to scoop into or could even accommodate multiple RVs.

This spacious turnout is sandwiched between the road and the river. Its a short distance from the transCanada highway but out of earshot of the highway traffic in Hope BC. Silver Skagit Road is relatively quiet for traffic.

There is no signage at this location prohibiting overnight parking or tresspassing. However, there are some boarded up cabins beside the site, across the street and down the road that say No Tresspassing on them.

There is a picnic area at Silver Skagit Road and Flood-Hope Road with some signage about the river, a couple picnic tables and garbage bins, just a block or 2 away. There are also additional pull outs farther down the road though this one was the nicest out of the couple miles we explored.

Cell service was good. There was only a little bit of garbage at the site, easily picked up in just a couple minutes.

the turnout is in a high traffic area and also under construction. suggest heading up the road to which I will add to campendium titled 'Silver Skagit Dos' at 49.342041, -121.469162

After driving for over an hour to find a provincial park that turns out to be nonexistent we turned onto Silver Skagit Road. I recognized the first free camping based on the description from here. There were bags of trash that wouldn’t fit in the bins. We stayed there a few hours but decided to check out the camping down the road & that’s how we ended up here. This is more private & the creek is more accessible.

Pulled into this spot on the way from Kelowna to Vancouver Island.
It was in a pretty spot with trees and the river right there but a pretty high traffic area. We sleep in our SUV and even with our window coverings the lights of cars kept us up.
A guy who lives up the road pulled over and asked if we were camping there and warned us of people looting them at night time… we were fine though had no issues. I don’t love sleeping on the road side but sometimes it has to be done.

This place has a big hill of gravel on it and is no camp or stop ground whatsoever.
