Best RV park in Canada

J	Jim Strachan on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is one of the best provincial parks in the interior of BC. Something for everyone, play ground for little ones, bmx track for older kids. River float for all ages. Bridge jumping for the daredevils!!!
J	Jonathan D'Amico on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful place for a camping getaway. Kettle river is very close and a great relaxation to float down. Choose from a long float which ranges from a cpl hours to almost 5hrs depsending on season and how long you want the float.
J	Jon Fletcher on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Another wonderful provincial campground - a forest fire came close to the edge of the park a few years ago but didn't get the park. You can ride both directions on old railway bed - Kettle Valley Railway. In the summer the Kettle River makes an ox bow around the campsite, so you can get in one end and float around the campsite and get out and you will still be close to campsite. Good place kids to ride their bikes - great family park. JCF

S	S BC on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Fun place to visit. Great swimming and tubing in the Kettle River. Also a good base camp for exploring the surrounding Boundary region.
S	Sheppe Pharis on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Probably the best campground in BC. Beautiful sites separated by lots of trees and foliage; a river runs along two sides of the area making for perfect floating and swimming, as well as nice trails for hiking. We come here annually and it's always a pleasure.
K	Karen Rochelle Hamilton on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great campground for families. Stayed for 7 days in late August when daytime temperatures hit the 30s. Because of the heat, we lived in the river. We were in sites 67 and 68; from there, it took about 10 minutes to walk to the river for floating 1-2 hours down to the trestle bridge. Most times, we stopped halfway at the riverbend swimming hole where one can fish, jump off the rocks into 10-20ft deep water, and splash about in the shallows with the younger kids. Use floaties that can handle very shallow water or prepare to stand up and wade past some of the rapids. The outhouses are all flush toilets with sinks and they’re each situated a comfortable distance from the sites (along with the potable water taps). The main shower house is around a 5 minute walk and is next to a great playground and bike park for the kids. The showers were consistently l clean and warm. They close them between 1-3pm daily for cleaning (but that’s optimal river time anyhow). Because of recent forest fires, the reservable sites further away from the river have lost their foliage and protected those sites less with the shade and privacy we expected. Only the group campsites have power outlets if you need a way to keep your devices charged (no wifi but all of us had 1-2 bars of LTE reception). The sites themselves fit an SUV + tent + camper + canopy snugly, and a car + 2 tents + bug shelter amply. We would definitely go back again and book a group campsite.
A	Anthony Knezevic on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ (2022 update Apr 29), tick season in full effect, be aware (2021) Great family oriented campground which was saved from forest fire in the valley a few years back. On kettle valley rail trail and a few minutes from amenities in Rock Creek if needed. Bike park for the kids and lots of walks and biking nearby. Floating on the river in the summer months too (be sure the river has dropped and slowed enough first!). Reservations essential, this is a large and busy place. There is a first come first serve area but fills up quick.
