Campgrounds and RV parks near Bulkley-Nechako A, BC

Bulkley-Nechako A is a rural electoral area in northwestern British Columbia surrounding the town of Smithers, roughly halfway between Prince George and Prince Rupert along Highway 16, the Yellowhead. The Bulkley River Valley sits between the Telkwa and Bulkley ranges of the Hazelton Mountains to the west and the Babine Range of the Skeena Mountains to the east, giving RV travellers a rolling, mountain-framed corridor rather than steep passes. RV options in the area cover a full range. Smithers Riverside Municipal Campground and RV Park offers sites on the Bulkley River within walking distance of downtown Smithers. Tyhee Lake Provincial Park, near Telkwa, adds a sandy swimming beach, electrified sites, and a boat launch. Glacier View RV Park and Cozy Cottages and RV at Round Lake Resort provide additional private-park options in the valley, while Seeley Lake Provincial Park sits farther west near Hazelton. Highway 16 is paved, two lanes, with rolling terrain that is manageable for first-time RV drivers.
