Am I allowed to bring my boat? Is there extra parking for the trailer & vehicle?

Yes, but we can't guarantee a spot on our Marina as we only have eight spots for boats under 18 ft when the water level is correct. You can use Kootenay Bay Launch anytime to put your boat in the water. Note that our docks are taken out of the Marina every second year in the middle of May to beginning of July due to high water.

Anyone using our break water wall for their boat/seadoo: $5/day Up to $50/season

Trailer Parking: $10/day Up to $200/6 months

Second vehicle parking: $100/6 months

Park on Pilot Bay Road for free. Between the office and the red cabin (8 spots), in the back of the Campground (2 spots), on the way down (2 spots)

Are pets allowed?

Pets are allowed on the Dog Beach (see Map) without a leash if well behaved, but must be supervised by their owner. Anywhere else on the campground pets must be on a leash, and are not allowed on the Sandy Beach. Please ensure to also cleanup after your pet.

For RV and Chalet rental units, pets are only allowed in the Happy Glamper but not in any other units.

How about our hens and ducks?

Sometimes, we let our birds free range around the property, as it helps them lay more eggs, so keep your dog on a leash!
Our chickens love your leftovers (meat, veggies, rice/noodles, fruits, bread) but can't eat some stuff (avocado, chocolate, onions, not cooked potatoes and peels).

Is recreational equipment available?
