Pick one. There are no laws against camping on the river bank that I'm aware of.

That one's a bit of a hike; I think it's about 1.5 km from the highway... Not exactly "camping friendly," IMO...

I'd do a scouting trip before you go up just to check out spots; as coho65 said, do a bit of exploring.

In Chilliwack there are plenty of campsites -- legit (e.g. Allison's pool, Earl's) and not-so-much -- to choose from that you can drive up to and that are close to the river. Again, best thing would be to do a bit of exploring; that's how all the best spots are found ;)

Lol; tie 'em to your waders while in the water, keep your cooler in your tent, and sleep with bear mace or a shotgun at your side ;)
