Toad Rock

There may be no other place quite like Toad Rock. It holds a special place in the heart of any Rider who has laid their head there…

Toad Rock is located in the small B.C. town of Balfour and in the middle of some of the best riding roads in Canada. It may be by far the best motorcycle campground found anywhere. If you are an avid motorcycle enthusiast, chances are you have probably heard of it or been there.

Zen and the Art of Mororcycle Camping

As soon as you pull up to the entrance and get off your bike, a very zen like feeling comes over you. Almost always, you are greeted by the owner, Mary, and she always remembers everyone {or is really good and making you believe that, lol} and always makes you feel like family. She gives you a rundown of how everything works, tells you to go find a camping spot and once you are settled, come by her campsite for a fire. Oh and by the way, don’t feed the dogs and lock up your food or Happy will get it {Happy is a huge pet pig that wanders around with the dogs and WILL eat your food
