Shortcutting trails destroys plant life and soil structure. The old-growth setting of Carmanah Walbran Provincial Park is awe-inspiring no matter where you go.

Trails from the Carmanah Valley Trailhead lead to a variety of park highlights. An elevated platform at Three Sisters offers visitors a different perspective of this majestic old growth forest. These viewing platforms also help to protect the vegetation surrounding these natural wonders.

Campfires are only allowed in the steel fire rings located in the campsites along the service road and in the area near the Carmanah Valley Trailhead. Campfire time restrictions are in effect: Cooking fires are allowed from 7: Campfire rings are provided. Dead wood is an important habitat element for many plants and animals and it adds organic matter to the soil.

You can conserve firewood and air quality by keeping your campfire small. Wilderness camping is allowed at several locations upstream from The Three Sisters in the Carmanah Valley, with walk-in camping available above the Valley where the Carmanah Valley Trailhead is located. This is the only area in the park where campfires are permitted. Campsites with tent pads, picnic tables and fire rings are provided beyond the parking area on the service road.

Short-term vehicle camping is permitted in the parking lot. A backcountry camping fee is charged at Carmanah Walbran; self registration vaults are located in the parking lot at the Carmanah Valley Trailhead. BC Parks Backcountry Registration System allows you to purchase a backcountry camping permit before leaving home. Although the system does not reserve a campsite, the system provides visitors the convenience of prepaying for their trip and not having to carry cash. We encourage all visitors to register online so we can reduce the need to collect fees in the field.

Visitor Information Carmanah Walbran is remote and rugged. Access to the park is via private logging roads. Great care must be exercised while traveling these roads as they are at times narrow, bumpy, and used frequently by industrial logging trucks. Always drive with your headlights on as visibility may be limited due to dust and adverse weather. Logging trucks have the right of way at all times ; other users are expected to pull off onto the nearest shoulders when encountering a truck. Visitors should make the trip in an appropriate vehicle with adequate clearance for bumpy terrain; at least one spare tire should be carried.

Park visitors should carry a first aid kit at all times.

The closest emergency telephone is located at the Didtidaht Reserve. The closest hospitals are located in Port Alberni and Duncan.
