Decent place to over night. Very bumpy heading to the sight. Had 2 port-a-potty’s on sight that we clean but lots of spiders. The host might want to number the sights as when some other hipsters arrived they ask us what sight was where. We told them to count the picnic tables. Another pro each sight had picnic tables.

Under new management. All amenities will be the same, just different picnic tables. New pics coming soon!

Site #2 was in a gorgeous spot right on the River. We were able to back our 25 ft. Travel trailer into it. Uneven soft ground but leveling blocks worked. Caught (and released) a 12 and 16 inch rainbow trout right from our site. No potable water and outhouse is a really long way from any site, but with trailer we were self contained. Site 10 is at the road in dirt. Sites 5-9 are between KVR road and river. Definitely needs to be mowed before staying on those. If you are looking for a quiet and beautiful off grid location, sites 1 and 2 are for you.

25km from Grand Forks · 57 sites · Rock Creek, BC

Nestled along the serene banks of the Kettle River in Rock Creek, BC, the Rock Creek Fall Fair Campground stands out for its unique blend of rustic charm and community spirit, especially during the vibrant annual fall fair. Outside of fair weekends, this campground offers a tranquil escape with spacious grassy sites ideal for both tents and RVs, providing a perfect setting for nature lovers and families alike. Campers can enjoy essential amenities, including basic electrical hookups and water fill-up stations for RVs, as well as flush toilets and a seasonal outdoor shower house. Towering cottonwood trees provide ample shade, while the gentle Kettle River invites visitors to swim, float, or fish just steps from their campsite. Children can explore open fields or enjoy the playground equipment, making it a family-friendly destination. During the fall fair, typically held in September, the campground transforms into a lively hub filled with food vendors, live entertainment, and agricultural exhibits. However, on a typical summer day, you may find the campground blissfully quiet, offering a perfect base for exploring Boundary Country. Enjoy tubing down the river, hiking the Trans Canada Trail, or taking a short drive to nearby conservation areas and lakes.
