Fire crews quickly extinguished the flames and then discovered the victim.
RCMP are asking for help to identify the man, so they can inform his next of kin.
“We know that he had a Mountain Equipment Co-op navy blue backpack, had an acoustic guitar, smoked cigarettes and likely worked in construction as a result of numerous clothing items around the camp site,” Staff Sgt. J.M. Percival said in a statement.
