Staying at plenty of campground across Canada this one was the most memorable, and beautiful for me.
Surrounded by mountains. And on clear lake.
Everything was reasonable. The staff were so welcoming and informative.
The pit-toilet actually had deodorizer or a smelly thing in there, I never knew out houses could smell good!
You could leave stuff at the beach without any worries!

Magical! Felt almost tropical...Well maintained, very conscientious fellow campers lots of families with kids (& kids making new best friends), amazing views of the lake (try to reserve the lakeside spots you get to wake up to green and blue bands of lake color and light sand!) We were in a double spot with friends, which was perfect for us. Nice and clean, renovated (with nice-smelling cedar!) front campground reception office, clean and new outhouses, drinking water and dishwater dump stations conveniently located near most campsites, paved paths excellent for kids on bikes and rollerblades. The beach is huge!!! very soft sand beach that takes your breath away. It's almost a tropical feel. Silty, squishy sand getting in and out of the ly a soul on it and views to take yourlake. Top inch or 2 is warm water but the rest is quite cool; still, it's refreshing! See you there next time!!!!

Edit: forgot to add one small negative. You do hear the occasional car passing by on hwy6 (which wasn't busy when we were there mid-August), as the campground is not far from the road. (So aim for booking a spot far from the road). If you don't like hearing cars when camping, Blanket Creek Prov campground farther north nearer to Revelstoke is far from the road and also truly amazing (although aim for a May visit there, when the river is beautiful and wide (& before the mosquitos are too bad. )

Our experience camping is nothing less than awesome. We were amused by how many things you would be able to do here like kayaking, boating, beach volleyball, stargazing and lots more! There are numerous scenic, picturesque locations for photo op if you're looking for frame worthy pics.
The park itself is beautiful, scenic, and individual campsites are spacious (nestled between the trees), the camp facilities are clean and well-maintained. They offer flush toilets, pit toilets, dishwashing area, shower rooms, potable water supply. Some campsites are literally near the lake and the rest are just minutes away (say 5mins).
The hosts and rangers are awesome, accomodating and very helpful. Kudos to you guys!
The park itself is a definite recommend for everyone who likes serene and peaceful setting surrounded by trees near the lake.
This is going to be one of our favorite campsites!

A very nice campground! Right on the edge of the lake, lots of area to go for little hikes. The sites are kind of close to each other, so if you're looking for a lot of privacy you may not find what you're looking for. The staff was very friendly and helpful, they understand what people need when they're camping. Firewood ($10 per bundle) Pick a site that's not reserved and set up, they will come around and you can pay then. $30/ night + $12/ night for extra vehicle. The lake water was very low at the beginning of September, so if you're planning on bringing paddleboards etc be prepared for a bit of a walk down to the water.

Had a great time here amidst sunshine and rain. Campsite was flat. Picnic table looked new. Hot showers, but beware of sensor light turning off every 4 minutes. Located close to Nakusp where grocery store is open 8am to 8pm.

What a great place. Very quiet. Powered sites are a bit small and tight together. We got site 18 which is powered off by itself very close to the water and beach. Beach is nice and sandy. Water is awesome clear and cool. Free showers and $5 sani dump. I highly recommend

One of our favorites. Make sure to get a lakeside site for maximum enjoyment. The sandy beach is amazing and don't forget to check out the Bahamas. Watched the Canada day fireworks from the beach. The town of Nakusp puts on a big Canada day celebration.
