NOTICE OF PARTIAL PARK CLOSURE FROM BC Parks: Partial closure of North Wall and Grand Wall areas in Stawamus Chief Park
Due to the presence of a food-conditioned bear, BC Parks has temporary closed the North Wall and Grand Wall bouldering areas, effective July 9.
This closure is intended to give the bear some space and a chance to move on, and to ensure the continued public safety and protection of natural park values.
Impacted areas include: North Wall closures are from bouldering areas "Action Man" to "Close to home" from 0.0 km on the Mamquam FSR to 1.4 km. The Slhanay Trail will remain open at this time but we ask visitors to use caution.
Grand Wall boulders are closed from bouldering areas from "Titanic south" to the "Apron Decent Trail" (south side of the Apron). The Apron Trail will remain open as a thorough trail only (no stopping). All visitors are required to securely store all attractants. Store all food and scented items in a vehicle, hard-sided trailer, or bear-proof locker. Visitors failing to ensure they keep attractants secure may be evicted from the park and issued a violation ticket under the BC Wildlife Act. Securely storing attractants is the best way to help keep visitors and bears safe.The closure is effective from July 9 to July 16.

Stay among the action at one of Stawamus Chief Provincial Park's 62 campsites where you'll find both beauty and the convenience of some of the world's best recreation right outside your tent.
Drive-In
There are 15 shaded vehicle-accessible sites available on a first-come first-serve basis throughout the April to October camping season. These sites are on the smaller side and therefore not suitable for those traveling by large RV. Campfires are not permitted.
Walk-In Wilderness
47 forested walk-in sites are located just a short 5-minute walk from the Stawamus Chief Provincial Park parking lot. There is a central cooking area with a sink and prep station for campers traveling with stoves. There are also food storage lockers to protect food while you’re out climbing or hiking for the day.
Camping at both the drive-in and wilderness sites cost $10 per night per person aged six years and older. Reservations are not accepted.
Getting There:
The Stawamus Chief Provincial Park Campground is located just 2 kilometers south of Squamish alongside the Sea to Sky Highway.
