<font face="Arial">Seeing you can stand the East Coast rain, what about the Lower Mainland, BC. </font><span style="font-family: Arial; ">I found this post on another site somewhere and saved it in case I ended up there. If you scroll down you will see some info about North Van. I lived and worked there back in the late 70's. Vancouver Island has a lot of places where you can camp. Winters average 7c in January. Lots of rain. It is really expensive in BC. People say BC means bring cash. </span><div><br></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: rgb(239, 239, 239); background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; ">Vancouver free camping</span></p> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Verdana; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: rgb(239, 239, 239); background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; ">This is some info that I posted over in the Intro Section.

I agree, there are not many RV parks in this city that are cheap. I do know of a couple. One is under the Patullo Bridge, it's called Brownsville RV Park. I believe they will take "ANYBODY", no matter the age or condition of your van,trailer,bus or RV. There is a pub, laundry,showers and a mail service all on site. It's not the prettiest place in town, but it'll get the job done. I think it is about $300 per month for a spot, wich is the cheapest around. They may even have a website. It's right down on the Fraser River, so all the free fish you can catch. AMIX Salvage is a 5 min walk for all you metal scrapper's out there. There is also a decent peeler bar around the corner, McD's, Subway, Home Depot, Skytrain/Transit, walking trails ect; as well. All within walking distance.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br> <span style="background:#EFEFEF">There are also a couple of seedy RV parks/hotels along the King George Hwy. but I don't know too much about them or the prices.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br> <span style="background:#EFEFEF">Then there is N.Vancouver, where there is a 6-10 block area around the Lonsdale Mall where many RV'ers live year round without too much hassle from the city or cops. There is a small creek and wetland area with trails to walk along. Walmart and the mall,gas stations, restauraunts, transit and stores all right there at your door. Seabus is a very short walk to get over to Downtown Vancouver. People have lived in large RV's for many many years in this area, so it's seems very safe and viable. It's like a little community where everyone watches out for each other and their rigs.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br> <span style="background:#EFEFEF">There is also the area around Strathcona Park on Prior St. right next to the Downtown core. It's an old neighbourhood with old houses and warehouses as a mix.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br> <span style="background:#EFEFEF">These are just a few places that seem to be the most common in our city and it seems like the city and police turn a blind eye most of the time. I think it's great, NO RENT TO PAY!<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br> <span style="background:#EFEFEF">I know of many other less conspicuous places in the city, with MILLION DOLLAR REALESTATE, and no rich PPL will bother you because they are not established neibourhoods with lots of houses around. Places right on the Pacific Ocean and Burrard Inlet.</span><br> <span style="background:#EFEFEF">I hope this may help any new Vandwellers coming to the city and any Vancouver renters looking to become Vandwellers.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br><br><br></span></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div>
