I have been camping in BC for 50 years and I have seen plenty loud, inconsiderate British Columbians. Alberta isn't the only source of yahoo's. They come from all over!

But You Might Disagree

'This is That', is the funniest series on CBC Radio- always funny.

and even better when listeners take them seriously.

maybe this could be part of the current election.


if passed it would make booking BC Campgrounds much easier and they would be quieter with less empty beer cans lying around - we have enough of our own beer cans to clean up

This looks like any number of campgrounds I've been at over the years, however it lacks a couple chainsaws setting around. Loose dogs, a tipped over motorcycle and a five gallon gas can about ten feet from the campfire.

I rarely even drink beer from a can. Am I still allowed to camp in BC?

Lots of folks from Alberta go to recreate in BC. Lots of folks from BC go to work I Alberta.

Most of the camping I have done in BC has been in the backcountry, and the times I have been in a campground, I have never had trouble with partiers are all.

I don't see any 'tats' in the pic. I can tell they aren't from BC if these were rowdy BCers
Some would be sporting tattoos.

Our scout troop was surveying a campground in Michigan's UP when an older lady came up and asked one of the scouts if we were going to camp where we were standing. He asked her why she wanted to know. She said "I'm picking a campsite too and I get pretty noisy at night and want to get far enough away so that I won't disturb you boys when you go to bed." Left the slow ones wondering.

Just ask the many people her who have met her. She actually hails from Ontario, an we all know they are worse than anyone from AB or BC.

And yeah, it never really works.

I watched a very boisterous group from Calgary clear out the pool of some Texans once in Mexico.
We were cheering them on from our balcony, it was a site to behold.
