No permit is required to camp at Brothers base camp but a pass is required to park at the trail heads. We will have that for our vehicle. We have a large pickup roomy enough for 4 adults. Vehicle mileage will be ~$480 for the carload (4ppl = $120ea). The campsite fees and vehicle pass adds $25pp for total CAD$145ea.
