When you say off the beaten path, do you mean not a provincial camp site? Cuz I can name 30 of those within 3 hours drive easy (edit, prov. Camp site that is)
yeah im looking for something a bit more exotic in location. Ive been to a few of those provincial campsites and they are quite ho hum in terms of scenery.
Basically looking for some gravelly roads that ends in a lake or a mountain plateau with a beautiful vista.
drive in would be ideal so we can just camp out of the car. dont know how capable the 4motion is on this wagon but i think the bigger issue will probably be the limited ride clearance if it's a really hardcore 4x4 trail.
Jones Lake. It's about 20mins past Chilliwack on hwy1. 9km up gravel logging road with some rough spots but cars have been doing it. It's a hydro run campground, free.

Thanks, and +1 to this thread.
Since I've built my pathfinder, I have yet to do a trip like this.
Looking at my friends pictures of them doing it in Alberta has made me jelly.
For Jones lake there's an actual campsite on the north end of the lake and then just a free for all if you continue up the fsr down south. Once you pass the campsite the road takes a nosedive but still passable in a cuv.
I found this map. Its quite useful to see where the forest service roads are and where they lead.
After an trying to book Porteau Cove for the weekend and laughing at the retarded $98 dollars fee for essentially a gravel patch next to some water, im never going to look for a provincial park camping site again. Oh and next availability is in OCTOBER... seriously... WHAT THE FUCK.
Try hicks lake. Only 2hrs away from Richmond from front door to parked in the lot. I try and go every summer once. It's family friendly, warm lake and good for kayaks and canoes. I assume weekend is insane but for the last few years i only camp during week days
Edit: I was there last week Monday-Thursday. Quiet for sure as kids weren't quite out of school yet. Rained a little and my dad broke my brand new Coleman canopy but hey the parents are getting older and the torch has been passed for my brother and I to now take THEM camping and provide and do everything
