Accommodations

Base Camp: Camping, camaraderie, and close proximity to each finish line!

BC Bike Race Base Camp accommodations will be provided for each racer from the evening of Day 1 to the evening of Day 6. Before and after these dates, racers are expected to provide their own accommodations.

We will have the BC Bike Race Base Camp set up very close to the finish line for each stage. Your team will be issued a 4-person tent with a minimal foam padded base which be will set up and taken down for you in Base Camp daily. Each Base Camp location (rec. centers, community centers, public parks, etc.) has been chosen for its proximity and access to important amenities like showers and restrooms. And, because each stage ends in a beautiful British Columbia vacation destination city/town, the areas are highly populated with easy access to grocery stores, restaurants and shopping.

We’ll take care of you from the finish to the start of each day!

After you cross the finish line, you’ll be greeted by our finish line hosts and food station. From there you can wash your steed at the bike wash in preparation for the mechanics from Obsession: Bikes. Base Camp will be there for all your post ride needs: 

  • a shower truck as well as showers available at each arena,
  • Body Therapy Team including a Chiropractor,
  • secure indoor bike parking,
  • retail area so you can pick up a BCBR branded spatula (or maybe just a t-shirt),
  • food vendors at or near each base camp (note: many are cash-only, so come prepared)
  • and racer relations station.

Don't forget the BC Ferries Bear’s Den....a relaxing place where you can meet and chill with friends or just watch your fellow racers cross the finish line. Comfy furniture, shelter from the weather, a selection of games for your enjoyment - available all day and into the evening. Added features will include a charging station for cell phones & PDA's and more!

Upgraded Accommodations

Prefer to upgrade your accommodations from Base Camp to local hotels for one, two, three, or maybe all nights? Looking for some great deals on hotels in each of the stage locations for your moral support crew (friends, family, etc)? Interested in campsite options for your support crew? We're here to help!

Hotel Options

Camping Options

If, rather than hotels, your support crew wants to live the outdoor life along each of the BCBR Stages, then check out the Tourism BC website. In the Destination drop-down menu, choose the town you wish to stay in (follow the BCBR Stage host towns), and then under the Category drop-down menu, choose Campground/RV Parks. Contact each campground direclty to check availability and reserve your spot. Please note that we do not have a BCBR rate available for any campsites at this time.

RV Options

Is it accommodation or is it transportation? Really, it's both!!

Looking to rent an RV for the week? Book with Go West RV Centre and receive a 5% discount when you mention that you're with BC Bike Race. As an added bonus, you can purchase an RV parking pass for Base Camp so your support crew can stay with you in the Base Camp area.
