About
The park has one campground situated near the Arrow Lake reservoir. The campground contains 105 vehicle-accessible sites, seven of these are doubles. There are no pull-through sites or tent pads, but tents can be placed on the campsite gravel pad. Many of the sites are considered large and can accommodate extra vehicles for a fee. The campground offers a selection of both open, sunny sites or wooded, shaded sites in a mixed smaller forest of white pine, cedar and hemlock.
The park offers services during the peak season from May to September. Campsite reservations are accepted and first come, first served sites are also available. Visitors can select any non-reserved site and staff will come to collect fees. The park has two park gates, one at the park entrance and one before the entrances to the campground or day-use and picnic area.
There are no pay phones in the park. The closest store is in Revelstoke, 25 km north on Highway 23.
Operated by West Kootenay Park Management Inc.
Fees
Peak season $40.50 CAD, shoulder season $28 CAD per party per night; non-B.C. residents +$20 CAD per stay
The gate is closed outside of the operating season.
