Lakeside camp, zero bars of signal

Barriere Lake in British Columbia is the kind of spot I'm thinking about for next summer. A flat spot, water nearby, and nobody asking me anything. Any favorite quiet lakes that aren't already on every list?

Not naming mine in a public forum, but: look at the map for lakes with no road on the near side. An extra mile of walking filters out almost everyone.

Asking as a very new camper: how do you decide what's a safe distance from the water?

@wren_holloway

Where I go it's usually at least 200 feet, but check the local rules. It's for the water's sake as much as yours.

Have something to add?
