About

Cal-cheak is a first come first served campsite, no reservation system exists. A campsite fee of $18 is charged from May 1st to October 31st annually. There are 63 campsites to chose from in 4 separate areas between Callaghan Creek and Cheakamus River. Many sites are large enough for RV's, but no power or sewage services on site.

This site is heavily treed, provides lots of shade in the hot summer. Wheelchair accessible toilet in the first area.

Please self register and pay the camping fees using the yellow collection box. A site operator will be by periodically to check the sites.

This site is within the Resort Municipality of Whistler, therefore a campfire ban may be in effect, please check with the RMOW website for campfire bans: Whistler Fire Updates

Black Bears are in the area and seen on a regular basis-ensure all food and garbage (or anything that smells like food) are well secured and clean BBQ's well. Never leave food or garbage unattended for any length of time. If you see a bear, please report it to the RAPP line at 1-877-952-7277
