roam. venture. stay.

Roam to Camp Kootenay River located in the scenic Columbia Valley with the world-class Kootenay River running alongside. Venture from the campground in your off-road vehicle to the mountains or mountain bike along the forestry service roads that track alongside the river or through wooded trails, meadows and mountain tops. Get wet and paddle the river, raft the river or set into Columbia Lake, just 10 minutes away from the campground. Hot springs and rivers through-out Columbia Valley offer incredible views while hiking, OHV’ing, and bicycling if you prefer to stay dry. Stay at a full-service or power site, a boondocking no service site, or a SoftTop tent with modern hand-made furniture, linens, a deck with chairs and power. Enjoy the boundless recreation and pristine wilderness that our location offers and then relax at the bonfire and stare at the stars. We look forward to welcoming you.
