The entire course is wheelchair accessible.

Our HotSpot locations are at the Mountain view washroom (by Site 33), at the Pine Meadows shower house (by site 119), or at our office and swimming pool area! Please note that these are HotSpots only and internet service away from the HotSpot is spotty at best. Each HotSpot has picnic tables provided for you to relax while surfing the web.

All registered campground guests are welcome to enjoy our FREE outdoor heated pool. Our swimming pool is child friendly with a gradual depth to the maximum of 4 feet.

We also have a special wheelchair available for those with limited mobility use.

Take a walk down to the park and enjoy the many activities to choose from. The children's playground is equipped with giant swings, monkey bars, a slide and spring riders. Get your family and friends together for a game of bocce, horseshoes, basketball, or sand volleyball at the Sports Area. All equipment is available to borrow from the office.
Picnic & BBQ Shelter
We have timber framed picnic shelter which is perfect for group gatherings and events. It is also the ideal place to seek shelter from the heat or those fair weather days. Please call our office to book the picnic shelter for your next family gathering.
Walking & Hiking Trails
Over 4 kms of walking and hiking trails are spread throughout the campground. Bring your camera and check out the many scenic viewpoints as you stroll along the river, hike along the the high trails overlooking the Rocky Mountains to the east and the St. Mary River Valley to the west.
Kimberley Nature Park
Directly across the road from the campground lies the Kimberley Nature Park. The KNP is one of the largest municipal parks in Canada at 800 hectare (1800 acre) in size. Its varied terrain and diverse ecosystems provide endless opportunities for recreation and education. Join volunteers from the Kimberley Nature Park on a FREE guided hike, departing from the campground on Saturday mornings . Please inquire at the office for dates and sign-up information.
Fly Fishing
The campground is located alongside the pristine St. Mary River. The St. Mary River is home to some of the best fly-fishing in North America and is considered a world class fly fishing destination. Some great little fishing holes are to be found alongside the campground. The St. Mary River is catch and release only and requires a classified license, in addition to your regular fishing license. For more information please refer to the regulations here: http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/fw/fish/regulations/docs/1719/fishing_synopsis_2017-19_region4.pdf

Environment
Our commitment to the Environment is another great reason to stay at the Kimberley Riverside Campground. Our pool is mainly heated by Passive-Solar panels which use the sunshine to heat water through a series of tubes on located on our roof. Our office operates a paper free reservation system and goes to great lengths recycling and re-using paper. Our cleaning crews use natural and environmentally safe Green-Seal Certified cleaning products. Our toilet paper and paper towels are all made from recyclable materials and we have several recycling stations throughout the campground for paper, plastic, cardboard, glass and all types of drink containers. We have some of the most environmentally-friendly toilets on the market which utilize a low-volume/high pressure tank that uses half the water of a standard toilet. Additionally we use LED light bulbs and are in the process of switching our streetlights to LED to save on energy consumption!
