Hosted by Berny and Stuart Moore, Blacksmith Landing Eco Camp is nestled in the majestic Rocky Mountain Trench in Southeastern BC, just a short drive from Lussier natural hot springs, hiking, boating, canoeing, golfing, breathtaking WhiteSwan Lake, Premier Lake, Findlay Falls and the Kootenay and Columbia rivers Questions . Many people ask… 1) .”How far are we from Banff… 2 hours of a beautiful drive that includes kootenay national park. 2)..Important ❗️❗️Please do not bring firewood from other areas to our camp as our property is heavily treed forest and we do not want any transfer of raw wood bugs.

Another season has wrapped up at Blacksmith Landing and I definitely left the camp very emotional! We absolutely love this place. The campground is immaculate, so well taken care of. Every activity you might want to do is close by, more beautiful lakes to choose from than you have time for! The owners are the most hospitable, lovely people (with the best stories!) and the FOOD. Worth the trip on it's own. Our entire family cherishes every weekend here and we can't wait until next season!!!!

An amazing campsite made unforgettable by Bernie, the enchanting and knowledgeable owner. She welcomed us with warmth, and true to her word, shared her renowned cinnamon buns—making us feel embraced by her hospitality (and that of her husband Stuart), and by the stillness of the surrounding land and Kootenay Mountain Range.

The Oasis, on the bird sanctuary, has privacy, close to bathroom. This photo courtesy of Lisa, our first time HipCamper. Well done Lisa! Looks like home.

You can see that they take great pride in their place and in hosting guests. For instance the outhouses were extremely clean and were decorated so that you did not feel like you were using an outhouse.

We purchased & were treated to a delicious meal and treats from Bernie. The hike on the property to the breathtaking Kootenay River view was a highlight, as was finding the charming tree book nook. For anyone boondocking, Bernie's "cutest little loo" is a huge plus! We highly recommend staying here!! You will love it!

The hosts were so lovely and welcoming! They were very helpful in getting us additional drinking water when needed, and were very accommodating helping us get a site that was right for my (special) dogs and myself with advance requests. I would definitely recommend. Only thing to note is that thew geographic region is inherently very dusty due to very small particle soil (mostly silt), so be prepared for many things to be very dusty when camping in the region regardless ;)

Bernie and Stuart are such wonderful people. You can really feel and are that they put their heart and soul in running the campground. They waited for us at the gate (as they do for every camper!!) and gave us a warm welcome. In the morning we ordered some home made cinnamon rolls and they were delicious. After that we took a walk towards the campground ridge (about 20mins) and enjoyed the breath taking views of the Kootenay river. We had a blast!

There is a certain aura of careful craftsmanship about Blacksmith Landing.. both from Berny, Stuart, and mother nature herself. Stuart's woodwork/groundskeeping, Berny's hospitality (delicious cinnamon bun btw) and the Bunny trail (which is simply stunning if you slow down and visit close to/during sunset) give you more than enough to enjoy the site alone. Yet there are plenty of hikes and other adventures like Zipline, rafting, hot springs, etc. very close by if you need to add-on. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay and can see why people rate this Eco Camp so highly

Weekend Trip to Blacksmith Landing Eco Camp

From the moment you arrive as strangers, you are greeted by friends who make your stay as wonderful as possible. It’s always worth booking, regardless of what sites are available, as Berny and Stuart do their best to arrange campers according to their needs. Campsites are very tidy, outhouses are cute and clean, and the space between sites are lovely. While a 20ish minute walk down a forested trail, the river bluffs are truly a spectacular vista. The benches there makes for the perfect place of solitude to watch the sunset over the grand Kootenay River valley. If you are more adventurous, the trail continues, allowing you to go down and swim in the river. However, there is no beach, and the water is pretty fast, so this is more just information for only the few desperate to cool off! Please know that the privilege of having this location so easy to access off of Hwy 93, means that you are still close to a busy highway. This doesn’t make the place any less magical, but don’t think the physics of sound stops working here. As long as those things are clear in your expectation, you will not be disappointed! So much to discover in the Kootenay valley, and Blacksmith Landing Eco Camp is both the perfect base camp to many days of hiking and hot springs, or a rejuvenating retreat unto itself. Thanks so much Berny and Stuart for the unforgettable experience! ☺️

Weekend Trip to Blacksmith Landing Eco Camp

This place is amazing! Beautiful, peaceful and the owners are absolutely lovely. They welcomed us and showed us to our camping spot (even though we arrived past 9:30 pm). We were able to purchase wood for a fire from them and they have camping chairs you can borrow. The outhouse is spotless clean. An amazing experience! We will be back!

Weekend Trip to Blacksmith Landing Eco Camp

We had a great time! The hosts were awesome and gave some great recommendations on where to go and what to do for our stay. The campground was very well maintained and the penthouse site was large and far enough away from neighbours (which is always a concern with us having two dogs). We will be back for sure to try out some of the other cool sites.

Weekend Trip to Blacksmith Landing Eco Camp

We camped in our Class C motorhome. There was lots of room for our outdoor dining area. So glad we could have a fire and the provided 'ring' was great. We ordered most of the food available and it was yummy and hand-delivered by Berny. So nice to just relax and not cook without going out to a $$$restaurant.
