Kootenay Boundary and Lower Columbia-Old Glory camping overview
The Lower Columbia-Old Glory area sits in the West Kootenays of southeastern British Columbia, centred on the confluence of the Columbia and Kootenay Rivers between Trail and Castlegar. The region combines the Selkirk and Monashee foothills with river valleys, giving RV travellers a mix of forested provincial park campgrounds and full-service commercial parks within a short drive of groceries, laundry, and dump stations.
Camping options range from BC Parks sites at Champion Lakes Provincial Park and Beaver Creek Provincial Park to private full-hookup parks such as Castlegar RV Park and Campground, City of Trail RV Park, and Twin Rivers Motel. Champion Lakes offers vehicle-accessible sites in a mixed fir, larch, and pine forest between two of its three small lakes, while Beaver Creek runs along the eastern bank of the Columbia River south of Trail near the Waneta border crossing.
Most travellers use the area as a multi-night base for fishing, paddling, and hiking, with Highway 3, Highway 3B, and Highway 22A linking the campgrounds to Rossland, Nelson, Fruitvale, and the U.S. border crossings.
Things to do near Kootenay Boundary and Lower Columbia-Old Glory
Fishing is a primary draw. Champion Lakes Provincial Park is stocked with Rainbow Trout, does not permit powered boats (including electric motors) to limit the spread of milfoil, and hosts a Family Fishing Day in June. Beaver Creek Provincial Park sits on a stretch of the Columbia River known for shore and boat fishing for Rainbow Trout and Walleye, with Whitefish also present and Brook Trout in Beaver Creek itself.
Swimming and paddling suit families: Champion Lakes has two beaches on 3rd Lake, with Main Beach featuring a small buoyed wading area, though there is a sharp drop-off along the swimming area and no lifeguards on duty.
On land, expect roughly 6.5 km of gentle interconnecting trails at Champion Lakes and a level 1 km riverside path through open grassland at Beaver Creek. Two of the three Champion Lakes are ideal for canoes, kayaks, and car-top boats.

The main camping season across the area runs from May through September, with July and early August drawing the highest demand and warmest, driest weather. Champion Lakes typically operates full services from mid-May to mid-September. Because the park sits at 1,067 metres of elevation, cooler temperatures and snowfalls can occur in May and September, so RV travellers should carry warm bedding at the shoulders.
Beaver Creek Provincial Park offers services during the peak season from May to September, and long weekends and Friday nights book out first. Private parks such as Castlegar RV Park and Campground and City of Trail RV Park extend the shoulder season for RV travellers.
Winter closes most services, but Champion Lakes remains open on a user-maintained basis. The Beaver Valley Ski Club maintains roughly 5 km of set cross-country tracks in the park with a warming hut, and ice-fishing is also possible on the lakes.

As nice or nicer than the photos. Everything worked as expected. It was set up and ready to go for us by the host. Bed was comfy!
Kelly S. - Sep 2025
Pat was a great communicator. She went out of her way to make sure the unit was set up exactly as we wanted. The unit was squeaky clean! Spacious and very comfortable for the three of us. It was well stocked with kitchen equipment and supplies. The solar/battery worked seamlessly and we never needed to use the generator. Overall a 5 star experience. I am already making plans to use Pat’s RV again.

Super easygoing and great owners! Way better experience than ANY hotel I’ve been to in the last 6 years! Highly recommend.
Daniel R. - Sep 2026
Our trailer experience at Kokanee Creek Provincial Park was absolutely amazing! From. The moment we met Curtis, everything exceeded our expectations. The trailer itself was fabulous, spotless clean, beautifully set up, and I incredibly comfortable. Everything worked perfectly, which made our stay completely stress-free. The bedding was incredibly cozy and luxurious, and all the thoughtful touches were appreciated. Delicious granola and coffee were awesome. Also an original piece if art, a lovely card made by his daughter. Just spectacular. This was hands down one of our best experiences. I would totally do it again. Thanks

Private options such as Castlegar RV Park and Campground, City of Trail RV Park, and Twin Rivers Motel take direct reservations by phone or through their own websites. For summer holiday weekends, plan to lock in sites several weeks ahead, and watch for cancellations closer to the date.
