Kootenay Born Campsite is on ten acres of fenced in property, with spectacular mountain views. We are located on the west side of the Arrow Lakes and are accessed by a free shuttle ferry service. Our property is a short walk up from Arrow lake through beautiful old growth cedar and orchard and surrounded by hiking, biking and ATV trails waiting to be explored. A few miles down the road is Saddle mountain hiking trail, a challenging hike with breathtaking views all the way up. At the top of Saddle Mountain is a look out building with 360 panoramic views that is free to use and has been recently updated. A short walk from the camp site, through old growth cedar groves and orchard will lead you to Arrow Lake where you can enjoy all types of water activities or take a walk to explore many of the areas private beaches. Please come and enjoy our beautiful wilderness.

A Tale Worth Telling
What a great camping experience! I had a very peaceful time and really enjoyed the sound of the frogs at night. During the day i I went hiking and had a great time exploring the area. Thanks for the map of the trails, it really made things easier! The view of the mountains, from my campsite, were breath taking and made my travel worth while. I can't wait to stay with John and Michelle again! P.s the handmade picnic tables in each site are gorgeous!

Wonderful Camping Experience
My wife and I bike packed to Kootenay Born campsite. The property and the location are absolutely beautiful. John And Michelle were wonderful hosts. They knew that we may be coming in after dark so they were very thoughtful in checking in with us and even met us at the gate when we arrived to make sure we got setup okay in the dark. The amenities are simple (outhouse toilets, no showers) but the attention to detail and thoughtfulness to the experience is definitely felt and makes the campsite feel like home the moment you arrive. They've even set up a really cool outdoor kitchen which makes preparing food and cleaning dishes so much easier. We definitely recommend staying at Kootenay Born camp grounds, the experience was wonderful and we can't wait to come back!

What an amazing camping spot! Beautiful, spacious, relaxing, tons of games and shelter for cooking, fully fenced for your kiddies and doggies. Michelle and John are exceptional hosts, very welcoming and helpful. They showed us the spectacular beach on the lake and trail there. Also we had use of their kayaks and PFDs. Facilities are perfect. And I loved the extra touches like natural pieces of wood for toilet roll holder in the outhouse :) and painting set, lots of games available. We just wished we could stay longer! Thank you Michelle and John!
