Campgrounds near East Kootenay G
East Kootenay G is a rural electoral area in southeastern British Columbia, wrapped around the village of Radium Hot Springs and the western entrance to Kootenay National Park. The region sits in the Columbia Valley between the Purcell and Rocky Mountains, with Highway 93/95 running north to south as the main RV corridor. It is a practical base for exploring one of Canada's four contiguous mountain national parks, plus a chain of provincial parks and private RV resorts along the valley floor.
Camping options range from full-service private resorts to no-hookup provincial and national park sites. Redstreak Campground sits on a plateau above Radium Hot Springs at the southern end of Kootenay National Park, with views over the Columbia Valley and the Purcell Mountains. Other nearby options include RidgeView Resort, The Canyon RV Resort and Campground, Dry Gulch Provincial Park, and Mcleod Meadows Campground.
Kootenay National Park lies about 130 km west of Banff and connects the Trans-Canada corridor to the interior of British Columbia, making the area a common stop for RV renters travelling between Alberta and the B.C. interior.
Things to do near East Kootenay G
The Radium Hot Springs pools are the signature attraction. A short trail from Redstreak Campground connects to the pools, so campers there can walk down rather than drive. Kootenay National Park's roadside stops along Highway 93 include Sinclair Canyon, Marble Canyon, and the ochre Paint Pots, which were used by the Ktunaxa First Nations for ceremonial and decorative purposes.
Bighorn sheep are frequently seen on the rock faces of Sinclair Canyon just off the highway. Mcleod Meadows Campground offers access to the Dog Lake Trail, and the surrounding grasslands and river flats are good ground for wildlife viewing and early-summer wildflowers.
The Columbia Wetlands south of Radium offer flatwater paddling and birdwatching, and the towns of Invermere and Fairmont Hot Springs add golf, lake swimming, and grocery resupply within a short drive.

The primary camping window runs from late spring through early fall. Kootenay National Park is open year-round but is busiest in July and August, and most of its campgrounds operate from early May to the end of September. Redstreak Campground runs from late April to mid-October, and Mcleod Meadows Campground operates from early June to early September, with unreserved sites available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Provincial parks follow a similar pattern. Dry Gulch Provincial Park is typically open from May through September. Snow lingers on higher passes into early summer: high alpine trails are often snow-covered until mid-July, while lower-elevation trails are suitable for snowshoeing and Nordic skiing in winter.
Shoulder seasons offer quieter sites and cooler nights. Spring is good for migrating birds and low-elevation hikes, subalpine wildflowers peak in mid-summer, and in autumn Lyall's larch turn gold while kokanee salmon spawn in the Kootenay and Vermilion rivers. Canadian holiday weekends are consistently busy.
Top Hosts near East Kootenay G, BC
Remi2 trips - Joined Jul 2023
We had such a great time for our first family camping trip with our baby. The RV was spacious and had everything we needed. There was a fire ban but we were still provided with a propane fire so it still felt like real camping. Remi was very helpful and easy going. He made a point to check on us throughout our trip and made sure we were having a good time. He was flexible with check in and check out so we never felt rushed (much appreciated with a young baby) The views at the property were insane and there was a beautiful lake within walking distance. Even on a 27 degree day the lake wasn’t packed. Location was amazing and we couldn’t have asked for a better host. 10/10 vacation, wish we could have stayed longer.

Erik was very responsive. He made all the arrangements and had his camper delivered right to where we needed it. Unit is clean and cozy, I’d say two adults max.

How to book campgrounds near East Kootenay G
National park sites and provincial park sites use separate reservation systems. Kootenay National Park sites are booked through the Parks Canada Reservation Service, online or by phone. Reservations open in early January and fill quickly, especially for Redstreak Campground between May and October. All Redstreak sites are reservable, the kiosk is open daily during the operational season, and after-hours arrivals check the kiosk board for a site assignment and register the following morning.
BC Parks sites at Dry Gulch use the provincial reservation system. The campground has 27 vehicle and tent sites, with 18 available by reservation and the remainder first-come, first-served.
Private resorts such as RidgeView Resort and The Canyon RV Resort and Campground book directly through their own websites or phone lines, often with earlier availability and full hookups.
What to expect near East Kootenay G
Site sizes and services vary widely. At Redstreak, campsites are a mix of full-service, 15/30 amp electric, and unserviced, and are best suited for tents or for motorhomes and trailers up to 35 feet. Dry Gulch has no electric hookups and an RV length limit of about 32 feet, though campers with larger rigs can contact the park to check availability. Mcleod Meadows has no hookups but offers water hydrants and a dump station. Private resorts along the highway typically offer full hookups and pull-throughs suited to larger rentals.
Wildlife management is strict. Campers in Kootenay must follow the park's bare-campsite rules, storing food, pet food, and other attractants inside a hard-sided vehicle or a park storage locker whenever they are not in use. All overnight visitors must display a valid national park pass, and drivers should watch for wildlife along Highway 93/95, especially at night.
There are no gas stations, food services, or lodging inside Kootenay National Park, so RV renters should fuel up and stock groceries in Radium Hot Springs or Invermere.
