Discover the Magic of Camping in Lac La Hache

Looking ahead to your 2026 camping trip? If you're dreaming of classic family moments in nature—crackling campfires, quiet trails, peaceful mornings on the lake—then it's time to discover the charm of Lac La Hache, nestled in the South Cariboo.

Welcome to the South Cariboo

Lac La Hache isn’t just a lake—it’s a small town with a big heart. Located along Highway 97 in the South Cariboo region of British Columbia, this historic area is known for its welcoming community, forested trails, and incredible access to lakes.

A Camper’s Paradise — With No Fire Bans

Unlike many other parts of the province, Lac La Hache has not had a campfire ban in either 2024 or 2025—and that peace of mind is no small thing when you're planning a family trip where s’mores, warmth, and evening stories are part of the plan.

If you’re looking for the highest chance of being able to gather around a real campfire, this area offers you just that.
