From Calgary, Alberta, we stayed a week, and seemed to be like few days, incredible spot, incredible owners, incredible week! This is such a great camping site and I am almost reluctant of saying too much here as I don’t want this place to be crowded for the next times :) I cannot recommend more enough this camping, family oriented or nature lover or both, this is where you have to be.

Site 17
Awesome spot! Takes a few seconds to walk to the lake. We were in a tent but the site does have all the hookups for an RV. Site 17 is right beside the fully enclosed bathrooms which I personally thought was nice, neighbours only on one side. There's a playground in the middle so if you have kids that's a bonus! Overall super well maintained campground, we'll definitely be coming back. Also shoutout to Rocky for bringing us firewood at like 9 pm when we finally got to the site, what a legend.

Souls Paradise Campground, lower camping area is a cluster of small RVs with many seasonal campers. The vibe is friendly and chatty, the restroom and shower are very clean and the beach access is perfect to launch a paddle board. We stayed in site 2 which site which is a deep site, tucked in the trees. My one complaint is the sites are *very close* to one another with no visual barriers. This might be fine for a van or small RV, but we were in a tent and there was zero privacy.

Beautiful location to spend a few days. Only minutes from the ferry, it is very convenient when exploring the Kooteney’s. The campsite was nice and serene, Valery and her family were great-and made our stay really enjoyable. We will definitely be back!
