Once this property was a cattle ranch but now it's a private spot nestled right next to the Salmo river. Learn more about this land: Private camping spot and small tree fort down by the Salmo River.  We have room for a 35ft camper, you will be parking on grass but the site requires levelling. We are located in Salmo, BC which is 30 minutes south of Nelson, BC. Nelson is surrounded by the rugged Selkirk Mountains and sits on the shores of the West Arm of Kootenay Lake. Whether gliding through the incredible powder at Whitewater Ski Resort, rafting down class 4 rapids on the Salmo River, catching a twenty-five-pound rainbow trout on Kootenay Lake, hiking up to Kokanee Glacier, or watching the fabulous live performances at The Capitol Theatre, the area has attractions for everyone. Only a 5-minute drive to the local grocery store. Access to the mountains from the old railroad system directly off of the property by motorcycles and/or side by sides, you just need to go slow until you clear the houses. Campfires are permitted, pets are welcome. We look forward to hosting you.

Private spot by the Salmo River
Perfect, beautiful, private camping spot! Spotless cute toilet and treehouse for adventure and sitting high in the trees. Access to river with amazing trails. Salmo river is clean and refreshing with many spots to sit, swim and relax Site is shaded and level. Many thanks for a great overnight destination!!

Perfect for us
This place is a sweet secret. I hate to tell too many people about it! But, I do recommend it. Especially if you have a dog, like privacy, and want to spend time in nature with just a few loved ones. Don't let the idea of the composting toilet scare you! I promise; it's cute as a button. The tree house, private riverside beach spots, and lush forest setting are all WIN. Thank you, Rob!

Really nice setting, very quiet and private. The weather didn't cooperate but we had a great weekend taking in the Tiny Lights Festival in nearby Ymir. Robert provided us with some power nearby to charge our ebikes. Lovely area near Salmo and close to biking trail.

The perfect secluded spot
Honestly stunning property! The site was more than I could have hoped for! The tree house is so cool and I was so secluded plus it was quiet! Don’t even get my started on the vegetation! Those ancient cedars? Yes please! And river access! Absolutely loved, would recommend and will stay at again!
