Our Services
Camping in the Riondel Community Campground is a rare experience. It feels like wilderness, but community amenities are only a short walk away. Kootenay Lake is on your doorstep and you camp among mature cedars. We have 34 camp sites which provide an exceptional range of choice. To minimize impact on the lovely old trees, none are serviced. All but one site have fire-rings and all have picnic tables. Potable water is available from water stands throughout the grounds; several are conveniently located for topping up your tanks. Generators are welcome, but we ask that you limit your running time within posted hours. For many the natural quiet of the campground is a valued asset.
PLEASE NOTE: Wifi access is for Campground Office use only. The password will not be shared. Thank you for your understanding.
Firewood
Firewood is available for registered guests only. Please see Camp Manager at the Office for firewood. Before lighting a fire, please check provincial fire regulations.
Bathroom Facilities
Our bathroom facilities offer flush toilets, cold water sinks, and coin operated hot-water showers.
Sani Dump
The on site sani-dump facility can be accessed with help from the Campground Manafwe. Registered guests pay $10.00; unregistered guests pay $15.00. (PRICES SUBJECT TO CHANGE)
Community Services
A short walk south of the campground brings you to “downtown” Riondel. The Riondel Regional Park provides space for baseball, soccer, or even a little kite-flying. The Riondel Community Centre houses community events as well as Riondel Reading Centre and Riondel & Area Historical Society. Across Eastman Avenue is the Riondel Market for all your emergency convenience needs, including fresh baked bread and ice cream treats. You can continue south to reach Riondel Golf Course – a 3 par treasure, or you can turn right behind the Fire Hall and find the Circle of Friends Artisan Shop for unique treasures of a different kind. The area around the community has many fine trails for hiking or biking, for more information check out the East Shore Trail & Bike Association. Or you can always spend the day relaxing, swimming, or boating without leaving the Campground.
