Metro Vancouver plans to bolster its campsite roster to meet growing demand. Those with the regional district have put forth a proposal four three wilderness type campgrounds, a dozen group sites and four multi-type sites. Four of those in Aldergrove, Belcarra and Derby Reach would be suitable for tents, trailers or RVs. A report finds campsite occupancy rates have increased from 65 to 86 per cent in the past two years. The expansion would possibly ease some of the pressure on the BC Parks system which constantly faces sell-outs.
