49°21′ N 122°57′ WCampsite$80
Mount Seymour group campsite suits youth and community groups who want a winter night on the mountain with a wood-stove shelter, about 100 metres from parking lot P1 in Mount Seymour Park. The trade-off is a reservation-only site priced for groups, at $80 a night plus $5 per adult billed for at least 15 adults in 2026.
Road closure
Culvert work narrows Mount Seymour Road to one lane from 19 to 23 October
Crews replace a culvert on Mount Seymour Road from Monday 19 October to Friday 23 October 2026, and DriveBC lists the work from 7 am to 4 pm each weekday. Traffic takes turns through a single lane while they're on site, so allow extra time on the way up to the park.

Road closure
Mount Seymour Road's gate closes overnight from November to April
Mt Seymour closes Mount Seymour Road at the gatehouse from 10 pm to 7 am every day from November 2026 to April 2027, and it can shut the road at other hours in extreme weather, with notices on its website and on lit signs below the gatehouse. BC Parks gives the same nightly hours from mid-November to mid-April, so plan on the longer window and drive down before 10 pm. Lot P1 is the winter lot for overnight parking, and Mt Seymour asks anyone leaving a car there to put an emergency contact and the expected return time on the dashboard.

Mount Seymour group campsite
$80 a night
The site sits in a small patch of woods just off Mount Seymour Road, and its clearing of 100 by 30 feet holds about 12 tents. Its one shelter has a wood stove for winter use and six of the site's seven picnic tables, and a pit toilet stands inside the reservation area. Bring drinking water. The outside tap runs only from mid-May to October, and BC Parks marks it non-potable.
BC Parks lists a fire pit at the site. The same park page bans campfires anywhere in Mount Seymour Park at any time of year, so cook on a camp stove. Winter parking at lot P1 may need a free BC Parks day-use vehicle pass, and Mt Seymour Resorts asks anyone parking overnight to leave emergency contacts and an expected return time on the dashboard.
Reservations go through camping.bcparks.ca or 1-800-689-9025 and open 12 months before arrival. Youth groups of at least 12 linked to a BC school or youth organization pay $1 a person a night, with a $50 minimum and a $150 maximum. From 2027 BC Parks adds a $20 non-resident fee to group camping reservations made by visitors from outside BC.
