Private sites

100% of recent Hipcampers say the sites felt private.

Welcome to a natural, convenient location with basic amenities on the West Kettle River! We have 300 acres including 1500 meters of river frontage with access to the surrounding crown land and KVR trail which runs through the property. The KVR trail is the access to the property. From HWY 33 South, take a left turn (West) onto Tuzo Main (about 7km's south of Beaverdell), then cross the wooden bridge over the Kettle River and take the first left onto the KVR trail (a long, straight flat gravel road) and follow for 1900meters. Mostly wide enough for one way traffic only, so please be patient and mindful of trail users on bikes, quads and vehicles. We currently have 5 tent only sites on the river and 25 RV/Tent sites currently about 100m from the river. There are a few picnic tables with blue umbrellas. Fishing, hiking, exploring, bring your quads, dirt bikes. There's plenty of roads and trails ... Even a secret honey hole fishing spot not far away but that's hush hush only locals know about this gem.

KVR Riverside Campsite #1

Closer outhouse facilities. Signage and direction to campsite to be sent in advance. A bit hard to find.

KVR Riverside Campsite #3

Tent camping and the site was well kept with an amazing view that was steps away from the river. The area was quiet and we were able to have our dogs with us off leash which they really enjoyed. There was an outhouse that was a few minutes walk from the site and was probably one of the nicest ones I have ever seen. 10/10 would recommend. We had met the owner and chatted with him during our stay. He was very welcoming and accommodating ensuring we were doing well and had everything we needed. We booked for multiple days but ended up having to cut our stay short as the weather was not cooperating with us. Hope to visit again.

Hidden gem, gorgeous spot!

KVR Riverside Campsite #1

It was my first visit to a Arlo's campsite, and it was amazing. The site was right on the river, quiet and relaxing. The park and facility was new, clean, well maintained. Convenient just off the KVR(though I only saw one vehicle go past all weekend!) and just a short gravel road drive up to a gorgeous little fishing lake. The river was a little lower in the midsummer, so I didn't fish there this trip, but I could have right from my campsite. I may look into making this a stop for my next weekend motorbike club ride! There's even cell service, which terminates right after the campsite, and you don't get it back to almost rock creek. I spoke with the owner, who was onsite, and there's big plans for the location. I'll be visiting again soon. Sean Skuter

KVR Riverside Campsite #1

I enjoyed tent camping and waking up so close to the beautiful river sounds and view, Argo left a screen tent cover overtop the picnic bench and offers a great price on firewood. We took two bundles and enjoyed a campfire in the evening and morning. The view of the stars at night at this site were so clear, definitely recommend it for star gazing.
