You can hire from Climb On

http://www.climbonsquamish.com/squamish-climbing-store.html see bottom of page. We only hired for a couple of days, didn't recall it being too expensive. Will always be people with pads about though, and most are fairly friendly.

If you are at the campsite, then don't bother hiring. There will be plenty of people bouldering, and I can guarantee that you will meets lots of friendly people who will be willing to lend you a mat. I took a small alpkit mat last year, and it found more function as a seat than a bouldering mat.

I'm going back again this summer, and have no intention of taking a bouldering mat or hiring one. The atmosphere at the campground is very chilled, so I wouldn't worry about it.
