Looks like a nice park, but also very windy, right? That looks like the highway up to Whistler, which would be quite a drive for those of us coming up from Seattle.

I've tried to come up with a closer park, with little success. I have a few ninja spots but we would never get away with more than two or three hammocks.

Sorry guys, lost a computer for a long time. Maybe try and get this thing organized again.
Cultis is a bit windy sometimes but there are tones of campsites that are up in the trees out of the wind. Porteau cove is only 20-30 minutes out of North van and north van is only a bridge away from Vancouver. Really no more than an hour and a half from the boarder to either one. Depending on the crossing you take.
I live in North Van, and drive near/past Porteau fairly regularly. I also go to Bellingham and Seattle on occasion...
From my place:
Porteau is about 45 min
Bellingham is a little over an hour - If the border is moving quickly.
Porteau is an easy park to find and has lots of trees.
(I've never been camping there, but have been diving there a lot. )
I'm not sure how well the trees are arranged at the sites for hammockers though.
The only negatives of Porteau are: *That I can think of
- Road noise
- It is literally beside active railroad tracks (expect 1 or 2 trains a night)
- popular in good weather (due to proximity to City)
I'd be interested in getting out. Depends on when, obviously
- I work every other Saturday night.
I'm about 12 hours drive North-ish...following for interest in case I am down that way at the right time.
