Campgrounds near Trail and Fruitvale
Trail sits on the Columbia River in the West Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, with Fruitvale a short drive east along Highway 3B. The area works well as an RV base for the Lower Columbia and Beaver Valley, with a mix of city-run, provincial, and privately operated campgrounds within a 20-kilometre radius.
City of Trail RV Park sits at the east end of Trail on Highway 3B, next to Waneta Plaza, and offers grassed and gravel sites with partial hookups, flush toilets, hot showers, a sani-station, and a playground. About 7 kilometres south of Trail on Highway 22A, Beaver Creek Provincial Park has 19 rustic sites along the Columbia River, managed by the Kiwanis Club of Trail. North-west of Fruitvale, Champion Lakes Provincial Park offers 95 vehicle-accessible sites in the Selkirk Mountains at roughly 1,067 metres of elevation.
Beaver Valley Family Campground and Upper Columbia RV Park and Campground round out the nearby private options for renters who want serviced sites, laundry, and easier big-rig access.
Things to do around Trail and Fruitvale
Champion Lakes Provincial Park is the main draw for families. Its three small lakes are stocked with rainbow trout, and two of them are open to canoes, kayaks, and car-top boats. Powered boats, including electric motors, are not permitted due to concerns about milfoil spread, which keeps the water quiet. The main day-use beach on 3rd Lake has a sharp drop-off, so parents should supervise children closely. Roughly 6.5 kilometres of multi-use trails link the lakes and lead to a lookout, and 3rd Lake hosts Family Fishing Day in June.
Closer to town, Beaver Creek Provincial Park has a roughly one-kilometre riverside trail through open grassland above the Columbia, plus shore and boat fishing for rainbow trout and walleye. The day-use area has a picnic shelter, playground, basketball court, and ball field for kids.

The main camping season in the Trail and Fruitvale area runs from May through September. Champion Lakes Provincial Park typically operates with full services from mid-May to mid-September, and because the park sits above 1,000 metres, cooler temperatures and even snowfall can occur in May and September. Beaver Creek Provincial Park also offers services during the peak season from May to September, with July and early August seeing the highest demand and warmest weather.
Summer is peak season. Long weekends and Friday nights book out first, and the Columbia Valley routinely sees hot, dry stretches that raise regional wildfire risk and can trigger campfire bans posted by the BC Wildfire Service. Renters should check advisories before travel.
City of Trail RV Park operates from May through the Labour Day weekend in September. Winter access to Champion Lakes is limited by snow, though the park stays open on a user-maintained basis with no services, and the Beaver Valley Cross Country Ski Club maintains about 5 kilometres of set ski tracks within the park.

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
