Bear Camp is a abandoned locality in Cassiar Land District, British Columbia, Canada. It is classified as a town. Bear Camp is located at 59.9167°N, 136.8000°W.

Bear Camp rests in a vast, untamed expanse where the jagged peaks of the Cassiar Mountains claw at the sky, their flanks cloaked in the deep emerald hush of boreal forest. It lies 101.0 km south-south-east of Haines Junction, BC (from Haines Junction, BC: bearing 157°T), and is situated 26.0 km south-south-east of Dalton Post. Here, the air, thin and sharp, carries the scent of spruce and damp earth, a perpetual fragrance that clings to the rugged terrain. Glacial streams, their waters a milky jade, carve their way through valleys carpeted with hardy mosses and low-lying shrubs, their ceaseless murmur a constant, elemental soundtrack. The light, when it breaks through the dense canopy, falls in shafts of liquid gold, illuminating the rough-hewn character of the land, a place of raw beauty and formidable silence. The history of Bear Camp is etched not in grand monuments, but in the enduring spirit of those who sought its riches, primarily the prospectors and miners who once worked its veins of ore. Though the boom times have long since faded, the echoes of their labour persist in the scattered remnants of cabins and the faint scars on the mountainside. The local economy, now a more subdued affair, relies on the bounty of the wild, with trapping and guiding providing livelihoods for many, their lives intertwined with the rhythms of the seasons and the habits of the forest creatures. The very air seems to hold a quiet nostalgia, a sense of lives lived close to the bone, where the immensity of the wilderness dictates the pace of existence in Bear Camp.
