Our network of 11 adventure highways will take you through some of the world's most outstanding wilderness areas. Wherever you travel there'll always be a government campground nearby. Many campgrounds have prime access to local fishing spots and walking trails. And don't pass up the chance to visit our colourful communites as well.

Backcountry Campgrounds

These sites were established to reduce impacts on natural systems and to improve the camping experience. Each site provides basic facilities to encourage overnight use in one area rather than have random camping. For more information on camping practices see Leave No Trace .
