Cal-Cheak Recreation Area
This popular, easily accessible recreation area located 10 km south of Whistler at the confluence of Callaghan Creek and Cheakamus River consists of 3 clusters of campsites: Callaghan, North, and South. All campsites are in a heavily forested area, some are vehicle-accessible and others walk-in only. Firewood for sale; site operators are on site collecting fees and doing patrols during evening.

A nice campground close to Whistler
Submitted by yas on September 22, 2010
We just recently learned of this campground, located really close to Whistler. I was actually impressed with the campsites here - they are fairly large, private, and well-shaded. I suppose that, being so close to all the attractions of Whistler, this campground is very popular in the summer, however when we visited in early September it was virtually empty.
