I sold a business in Toronto and moved West in 1990 and drove all over North America looking for a new place to settle and raise a family. While camping in the Kootenay's I found this oasis and bought it. I have raised a family living totally off the grid since and love it. The water here is so clean and and the air is so fresh is why I stay. The night sky is so hard to explain it has to be seen to believe. Come check it out and you will agree. Learn more about this land: Enjoy camping on our 25-acre property just outside of Cranbrook, BC! We have multiple spots to choose from. You can camp beside the creek, in an open field, or up high with beautiful views of the valley. It all depends on your preferences and the privacy that you desire. We welcome tent and RV campers. If you're bringing an RV, there are sites that do not require levelling and we can accommodate vehicles up to 75ft in length. Bring your animals - there are a lot of great spaces for them to play!

7.6km from Fernie · 4 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging · Fernie, BC

Wakita encompasses 25 acres of diverse wilderness and clearings. The land was developed in the 70's as an education, arts and health retreat and that history influences its atmosphere today. A small mountain creek meanders past gardens, berry patches, rustic cabins and a stage. The land is peppered with Ancient burned out cedar trunks that stand as a testament to the wildfire that razed the valley and the town of Fernie in the early 1900's. If guests are interested in a tour we will show you our favorites! Since Wakita borders on the wilderness of BC, we ask that our guests exercise common sense when it comes to food and fires. Upon arrival, we will provide information on the use of woodstoves, firepits, composting outhouses (for a-frame and campsites), etc. Wakita is a 15 min drive from all of the amenities and adventure available in beautiful Fernie, BC. Explore further up our road and you will find the trailheads for popular hikes to Mount Hosmer, the Three Sisters and Heiko's trail. Our Hipcamp accommodations consist of our glamping a-frame, an unserviced RV/tenting site and a fully serviced cabin. We look forward to being a part of your Fernie adventure!

4. Cept Ranch

51km from Fernie · 5 sites · RVs · Kimberley, BC

Take a look at the mountain view site to show you what you can expect from a finished site. Secluded lot with two lakes and LARGE private sites. Sick of busy noisy RV parks where you're parked 10' from your neighbour? We're renting large, private RV sites just 15 minutes from Wasa, BC. These are off-grid spots—you’ll need a self-contained RV with a full bathroom and kitchen, as there are no hookups currently available. Each site is surrounded by trees, offering space, solitude. You won’t be parked 10 feet from your neighbour here. All sites are lakefront or pond-front, with beautiful views and a truly peaceful atmosphere. One lake has a softer clay bottom, the other is rocky with a silty base—both are fantastic for paddleboarding, and relaxing. We especially love swimming in the rockier one. The property is still a bit rugged—we’ve just moved here and are looking to generate some revenue to help fund improvements. We’ll mow the sites before your arrival and do our best to keep things clean and comfortable. Please note: There’s a sani-dump and small shop in Wasa, about 15 minutes away. The road in is bumpy but fully accessible for 2WD vehicles—just take it slow. Quiet hours apply—no loud music or parties, and generator use is limited to specific times. If you’re looking for tranquility, space, and a rustic lakeside experience, we’d love to hear from you.

We are conveniently located 3 minutes from the town site with pub, golf course, churches, convenience store & laundromat. We are 5 minutes from Rosen Lake, 10 minutes from Tie Lake, and 20 minutes from the Koocanusa Marina and Baynes Lake Farmers Market. This is where the Kootenay Lifestyle meets rustic charm! -Power & water available. -No Sani-dump, but weekly pumper service is available locally. DIRECTIONS: Don’t trust google maps - it will lead you to the wrong driveway. Turn instead at the timber framed Elk Ridge Ventures sign (see cover photo) and drive down the driveway until you see the campsite signs.

Quiet, rustic and a great fire pit, Worthy of a respectful campfire. We drive a 25' motorhome to the site. About 20 minutes each way over some primitive roads, but we found it worth it. I understand that Justin has owned the property for a little over a year and I have no doubt there will be improvements season after season.

We had a great time camping here—everything is spread out, quiet, and casual, right beside a beautiful creek. The big firepit right by the creek was perfect for our group. Looking forward to coming back in the future.

Beautiful, private site with lots of land to explore and an amazing view! Plenty of shaded areas throughout the day and the smaller pond is great for the dog to swim (if you’re ok with muddy legs)! The panoramic photo in the review is of the larger lake. Our stay was quiet and peaceful. The cattle stayed a decent distance from camp. We got a bit lost but the hosts were friendly and communicative! They met us and drove us into our site. The roads are a bit rough so take it slow like they recommend. Bonus: Wasa Provincial is a short drive away with a sani dump, water fill, and you pass through a transfer station on the way into the property.
