Default Camping at Maligne Lake

I'm gonna be heading out to Maligne for the first time in a few weeks. I'll be heading out on a Sunday, staying the night, then fishing all day Monday. Anyone know a good spot to stay out there? Preferably close to the lake, where I can stay with my vehicle.

Once you turn onto the Maligne lake road, overnight camping from there on is prohibited. I think the closest area would be near snaring river.

You can camp on the lake but you need to reserve the backcountry spots I believe

As said above, you can't stay at Maligne unless you book a campground at Maligne, only accessible by canoe. I hope the link works;

If you want to skip the hassle and planning of getting to your campsite by boat, then I suggest that you stay at the traditional campgrounds close to town like Snaring, Whistlers, or Wapiti.

Which is why I mentioned they're only accessible by canoe. And why I mentioned the campsites near town, because they're what he's looking for. But your reply added alot, thank-you!
