People hoping to camp on Crown land near Harrison Lake, B.C., last weekend say a group of partying campers ran them off the campsite and made thinly veiled death threats against them.
Last Friday, the Helmer family of Port Coquitlam pitched a tent at a campsite along the Harrison West Forest Service Road about 215 kilometres east of Vancouver. To get to the site, they had to drive around a black truck that was parked diagonally, blocking easy access to a number of vacant campsites.
