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. We recommend arriving before dark so that you aren't complaining in a review how hard sites are to find at night, in the dark. Some sites may be overgrown generally a lawn mower is provided for your use. If you are looking for fully serviced campsites where the outhouse is closer than 250m, then you should just carry on! The KVR trail is the access to the property. From HWY 33 South, take the turn (West) onto Tuzo Main Road (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. After driving down the KVR right of way about 1.2km, you will arrive at the farmhouse gates - there you will see a little sign for the campground on the tree, so keep going down the right away. Once you go another 600m or so, you will come to a homemade sign with an arrow pointing you left. Turn there and then make a quick right turn then follow the road. You will come to the large tree with a picnic table and two blue barrels marking site #10. Sites 1, 2, 3 ,4 are over at the river, the other RV sites 5, 6, 7, 8, can be any where around site 10 or in the loop. I can always bring the lawner mower over to cut the grass and weeds down just get a hold of me. We currently have 5 tent only sites on the river and 25 RV/Tent sites currently about 100m from the river. There are currently picnic tables with blue umbrellas for sites 1, 3, 4, 10. There is a small white table and chairs for site 2. RV's sites include sites #4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 - I can add many more RV sites. Just need to cut the grass/weeds. 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. A camper told me recently he saw a massive fish (16+ inches), likely a rainbow in the Kettle.

Located about 35 minutes drive outside of Kelowna on Rock Creek HWY 33. Approximately 7 minutes past the turn off to Big White Ski Resort. The address of Storia Vale is 9046 Painted Cliffs Private Road, lot #11. Both numbers are clearly marked by signage on the third driveway on your left after turning onto Painted Cliffs Private Road. At the start of your drive to Storia Vale, there is a sharp hairpin turn in the highway as you are leaving Kelowna. If you are unfamiliar with this highway, please do pay mind to the road signage and be cautious with speed at this section of road. There is also a section of winding uphill road on the way to Big White which is best navigated with care. Traveling east from town, once you see the turn off for Big White you'll have about 7 minutes drive remaining to get to the turn off for Painted Cliffs Private Rd. Please use caution when turning onto Painted Cliffs Private Road as it is a dirt/gravel surface and will offer less traction than paved roadways. Once you have located the driveway, you will find your camp site clearly marked. Please park your vehicle in the provided driveway space closest to your site. Please also note that there are currently NO showers at Storia Vale. Outhouses and gravity fed potable water dispensers are the only available washroom/cleaning amenities available on site.

Beautiful, quiet and peaceful location. After days of Adventure riding in the back-country of British Columbia, we needed a place to be refreshed and restored and that is what we found at Valhalla Pines. Showers, a cabin (with an amazing bed), and fully equipped kitchen with excellent WiFi to catch up on messages. Our host Lindy, was kind and accommodating.

3 nights at Valhalla Pines Campground

Valhalla Pines Campground was a bit of a mystery as I approached my three nights of camping there. It looked good online, but the real experience of being there was fabulous. Quiet, remote, peaceful, with all the comforts of home like the Community building where you can join friends for a meal, happily cleanse with a hot shower, and even a dish washing area that is so convenient. The area is packed with wildlife - I saw a herd of elk cross the highway, saw turkey families by the dozens, observed Osprey's fish the river, and even glimpsed a big ol' black bear rambling across the road into Nelson. And the lovely town of Nelson is only 30 minutes away. I heartily recommend visitors try out Valhalla Pines Campground. Host Tom has built a very warm, inviting oasis that is good for the soul. And you will definitely be as entranced as I was with Sophia, the big, gentle-souled Black Lab/Malamute queen of the campground. Enjoy.

Weekend Trip to ARLO's KVR Trail Riverside Camping

Bare bones campsite in beautiful spot. Yes the outhouse is far away from the tent spots. However it is the best outhouse I’ve used in a long time. Clean. TP. And even a split door for a breeze and a view. Bonus for the funny signs. Each tent spot has a picnic table or table and chairs. Only two spots are directly on the river (1 and 2) but all are level and comfy. Mosquitos were bad but that’s the season. Just be prepared. Thanks Arlo for a nice off the beaten track spot.

About

Nestled in the heart of nature's playground, Jewel Lake Provincial Park is a sanctuary for adventurers and peace-seekers alike. Here, you can immerse yourself in activities ranging from serene fishing in the crystalline lake to hiking through lush trails that promise encounters with local wildlife. As the sun dips below the horizon, gather around a crackling campfire and share stories under a canopy of stars.

When to go

The ideal time to visit Jewel Lake Provincial Park is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is warm and the lake's waters invite you for a swim. However, autumn also offers a spectacular display of foliage, making it a great time for photographers and nature enthusiasts. Winter can be harsh, so plan accordingly.
