The Squamish Off-Road Cycling Association is looking to open and operate a backcountry tenting campground, according to The Squamish Chief.
“As Squamish’s reputation as a global mountain biking destination continues to grow, the demand for trail maintenance is outpacing the organization’s traditional funding sources,” Ian Lowe, executive director of SORCA, told The Squamish Chief. ”As such, SORCA is exploring a variety of concepts to better support sustainable recreation and responsible trail stewardship.”
One concept under consideration, going back to fall 2024, he said, is a small campground designed to serve visiting mountain bikers and other outdoor users.
This type of campground would “help reduce informal camping pressures and enhance the overall trail experience.”
