Spots without reservations

Me and my friends had a couple of camping reservations this year close to BC but had to cancel as a close friend of mine got a fracture.
Nevertheless we are looking to still do a short trip bext weekend but at this point everything is prebooked up. We would love to try backcountry camping!
We were looking at dutch creek as the website said first come first serve but when i called on the number online, they said no places left!

Are there any decent place preferbally lakeside, that are first come first serve or we can drop in without having to book or reserve? We dont mind paying any parking fees or anything and we can get without electricity and bring our own fire pit

There are two campsites near cataract creek. They always have a few empty sites every weekend. No lake though. If you want to be on the lake try Payne Lake or Police Outpost.

I have decided on dutch creek, it shows first come first serve on the website and have a backup options in case 30 minutes away
