There is a particularly valued native storyteller here that can also provide a walking tour to a nearby village site with a full scale replica of an aboriginal kekuli (earth house). Please call ahead for recommendations on booking guides or storytellers. You don't need one to get here, but its good to have a 4 wheel drive vehicle for some of the logging roads that are worth visiting. Roof and/or bike racks can also come in handy. The Vallican Whole community center also has events nearby.

For-rest Retreat

2 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents54 acres · Salmo, BC

We bought this property in 2008 as raw land with an old off-grid 1950's cabin on it. While the log structure was sound, the cabin needed some major renovations to be liveable. We undertook renovations, lived in it for 6 months and then moved into a yurt on a more accessible section of our property. We now run the cabin as a short term rental, have another small rental next to our house and we are using the yurt for gatherings, retreats and yoga classes! For more info, visit our website: https://for-rest.ca Learn more about this land: AVAILABLE ALL YEAR! A backcountry-style off-grid cabin in a perfect location to explore the Kootenays. THIS CABIN IS ACCESSED BY A 0.7 KM HIKING TRAIL ON PRIVATE PROPERTY. Enjoy privacy and be close to nature at the base of Keystone Mountain. Far enough to feel like you are away from it all, close enough to experience all the Kootenays have to offer. Campfires are permitted when there is no fire ban. We have firewood available to purchase - please add this as an extra at the time of booking. Close to world-class ski hills and backcountry skiing, excellent hiking and mountain biking opportunities and even private trails right out your door. Enormous snowy peaks, clear lakes, and waterfalls characterize this mountain playground in southeastern British Columbia, where visitors can expect backcountry adventures, endless singletrack mountain bike trails, hiking trails, mineral hot springs, and small towns with vibrant arts and culture scenes. Our property is located just outside of Salmo, in the Hub of the Kootenays. 30 minutes from Nelson, Castlegar, Trail, Kootenay Pass, and Champion Lakes.

RV camping near Nelson guide

Overview

Situated in the mountainous eastern part of British Columbia, Nelson makes a great base for visiting the trails, waterways, and hot springs of the Kootenay Rockies by RV. If you like the outdoors, you’ll find plenty of things to keep you busy, from hiking up the nearby Pulpit Rock Trail to paddling on Kootenay Lake, located right in town. RV camping and dump stations are available at public spots in and around town, including the Kaslo Municipal Campground, the City of Nelson Campground, and Kokanee Creek Provincial Park. There are also plenty of quiet, private Hipcamps in the vicinity, many of which have only one or two sites, plus picnic tables, hot showers, and firepits. Some are set on or near Kootenay Lake, and there are loads of options in the Slocan Valley, some right by the Slocan River.
