I've traveled this highway with my family a couple of times, although it was quite a few years ago so I don't remember all of the details. I remember camping at Boya Lake and seeing loons and owls there, and I definitely recall camping at the RV park near Stewart - they have a tent section of the campground, and it's well worth staying a couple days so you can drive over the border to Hyder and see the bears at Fish Creek and travel up to Salmon Glacier.
