It has been years since we have last been camping, so it was very exciting to head up to
Birkenhead Lake
some 60 kilometers north of Pemberton.
Our camping place was exactly as shown in the website photos. Nice, private and green.
Fortunately modern tents are easy to put up.
Such a joy to be sleeping outside.
Time for a camp site dinner.
Unfortunately Saturday was a cloudy day, but we still headed out cycling along the lakeshore trail.
Our night was rather cold, but luckily Sunday turned out to be a nice and warm day. After waking up we hiked the short Goat Trail to a lookout of the lake below.
Birkenhead Lake itself looked so much more inviting in the warm sunshine.
Drive back to Pemberton had some beautiful summer vistas. It's incredible how more rugged the mountains get north of Pemberton.
It was a short ad-hoc trip, but we really liked our experience and are already planning on going camping soon again. Too bad everything nearby has been reserved for the whole summer, so we need to try getting a FCFS space. Hopefully it will work out!
