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 camping spot down by the Salmo River.  Single tent campers are welcome but there’s room for a couple of tents and up to a 25ft camper or RV.

Best spot in Salmo
Beautiful spot, perfect for independent campers and really great river access and privacy. Small groups would love this too! We hope to stay again!

Beautiful property. Very private campsite and river access. Friendly host with great response time to any questions we had. Definitely will return if we're in the area again.

We backed down a secluded trail with our trailer to find a peaceful campsite a short walk from a refreshing river where we took a cool off dip. A lovely, quiet site!
