About riondel Community Park & Campground
Nestled in the heart of beautiful Riondel, BC, is a magical place where majestic old-growth cedars tower over lush ferns and winding trails. For over 60 years, Riondel Community Park & Campground has invited campers and visitors to experience it’s idyllic setting — lofty tall trees, pristine flowing water and panoramic mountain views. This unique Community Park & Campground is right on the shores of Kootenay Lake between the scenic Purcell and Selkirk mountain ranges. The surrounding mountain areas are frequented by wildlife large and small-from chipmunks, squirrels and otters to deer, elk, cougars and bears. Many bird species can be seen — song birds and waterfowl of all types, ospreys and eagles. The plant life here is abundant, and home to many fascinating insects. Kootenay Lake is a renowned fishing destination – with Gerrard Trout, Kokanee salmon and Dolly Varden (bull trout). Paddle-boarding, kayaking and canoeing are popular ways to explore the beauty of Kootenay Lake. Our local trails are great for hiking or mountain biking. After a refreshing swim in the lake, relaxing on the pebbled beach to soak up the fresh air and summer sun is always a treat.
It is the interactions with Nature which make holiday experiences here so memorable.
Managed by a non-profit society
The non-profit Riondel Community Park & Campground Society relies on the efforts of its volunteer members to maintain and oversee the Campground’s operations. The Society’s volunteer board members are assisted by the part-time Administrator. They work together with the contracted Park Host to operate this singular Park & Campground for the enjoyment of campers, day-visitors and the local community.
The Society’s goal is twofold:
- to preserve and sustain this Community Park & Campground’s natural setting for all to enjoy and
- to promote the outdoor recreation that is available here
