Lytton wildfire evacuees are invited to stay for free at an off-road RV park east of Chilliwack.

“If you need a place to camp and stay, we want to help and are offering free camping at Popkum,” Popkum Motor Park wrote on Facebook. “We are so sorry for your loss and want to help where we can.

“We have plenty of non-serviced sites available and you won’t have to leave when the park closes mid-week. We have sani dump, water fill area and outhouses, if needed.”

Proof of a Lytton address is all that is needed to access this service.
