Kilby Park - Harrison Mills, British Columbia

Soren

Kilby Park is such a beautiful spot and definitely worth a visit! The beach is peaceful with stunning views of the river and mountains, and the water is calm enough for a refreshing swim or just to dip your feet in. It’s a great place to relax, picnic, or take in nature.

The only reason I wouldn’t give it a full 5 stars is that the water access can be a little rocky and the beach area can get busy during peak times, but overall it’s a lovely, well-kept park that feels like a hidden gem. Perfect for a day trip if you want to escape the city.

A truly beautiful place — its distance from the city makes it really special. Not many people around, a sandy beach, and very peaceful. It was a Tuesday, so maybe it's busier on weekends. I would definitely go back.

Finally I found my favorite campground!! Btw, we loved camping, hiking, back country everything but most of the places here have rock, rock beach and I don't like that at all

This campground has a beautiful sandy beach. So nice, so beautiful, so peaceful, so clean! The staff always clean the washroom and are all around so I'm really happy. The only thing I wish they have is a shower so no shower here. You can come for a day too if you want.

It's connected to Kilby historical site, really nice which restaurant and cafe so do not forget to check them out

Anyway, I love this campground so it'll be our family favorite campground

Spent 1 week here.🏕⛰️🏞🌊🦅🎣
Area: Very private surrounded by the mountains. A few walking trails nearby. The water is safe to swim or paddle board - there is a sandy island in the middle. Just watch out for boats & hungry fish (JK 😝). Plenty of wildlife: bats, osprey, eagles, chikidees, seals, & otters.
Warning: A train runs every couple of hours nearby - day & night.
Facilities: Pet friendly (leashed)🐶🐱🕊. A boat ramp - popular for fishing. Each camping lot is a short walk to the beach. There are water stations & outhouses stationed every few lots (clean as could be, but expect flies, webs, dead bugs & stench). Grounds staff are hard working - picking up rubbish, fallen branches, & sweeping each lot so it's clean for the next visitors.
Extras: They sell ice, but its advised to pre-order. 🧊
The Kilby Historical building is a 10-20 minute walk away - they have a cafe thats pet friendly plus farm animals & a beautiful garden. 🌻

This hidden gem is actually quite busy with camping pretty much booked up for the summer. Staff were friendly, but would be nice if there is a digital signage by the museum indicating whether there are parking available as I saw at least 20 cars turned around after making their way to the lot. It looks like a great spot for fishing and paddleboard. Will definitely come back!

An amazing spot!

Water level changes lots. .. also, can get VERY windy because of landscape topography.

But a beautiful spot, we go often and enjoy the space.

This is such a nice beach! The colour of the water is so blue and the sand is white. The waves from the boats are amazing to play around in. Definitely a hidden gem beach bc it’s not that crowded and very pretty.
