City of Trail RV Park
Overview
The City of Trail RV Park provides a convenient and welcoming riverside retreat for travelers exploring the rugged beauty of the Kootenay region. Situated right alongside the scenic Columbia River, this municipal facility offers a unique balance between urban accessibility and natural charm. It is a well-maintained site that serves as an excellent home base for those wishing to discover the local history of the Silver City while enjoying the fresh air of British Columbia. The park provides a peaceful atmosphere for resting after a long day of driving through the mountains.
Location & Surroundings
You will find the park ideally situated adjacent to Gyro Park, one of Trail's premier public green spaces. The surrounding area is characterized by its stunning river views and its proximity to the historic Columbia River Skywalk, one of the longest pedestrian suspension bridges in North America. While the industrial architecture of the city is visible nearby, the park itself offers a lush, grassy environment where visitors can relax under the shade of mature trees and watch the river flow by.
Amenities & Park Features
This municipal park focuses on providing essential comforts for the modern RVer. It features 30-amp power and water hookups, making it easy to settle in and stay connected during your visit. The grounds include a convenient on-site sani-dump station for waste management and guest use. Each campsite is thoughtfully equipped with a picnic table, and the park’s layout is designed to accommodate various rig types, from compact vans to larger travel trailers, all within walking distance of the riverfront.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Adventure is never far away, with direct access to the Gyro Park beach and playground, which are perfect for cooling off during the summer. Visitors can take a short stroll to the Teck Interpretive Centre to learn about the town’s industrial legacy or explore the local shops and cafes in the downtown core. For those who enjoy the outdoors, the local trail system provides miles of walking and cycling paths that follow the winding path of the Columbia River, offering great opportunities for birdwatching and photography.
Who This Park Is Best For
This destination is ideal for short-term travelers and road trippers looking for a scenic and reliable stopover along their route through the West Kootenays. It is particularly well-suited for active families who will benefit from the immediate access to public park amenities, swimming areas, and playground facilities. If you are an RVer who enjoys a mix of riverfront tranquility and the convenience of being close to essential town services, this park offers exactly what you need for a comfortable stay.

I had an amazing stay at the Trail campground! The campground hosts are super friendly, helpful and welcoming :) Thank you again and I highly recommend staying at this RV campground!
Original Ouch
I think this is a great little campground right in Trail. Rv camping on one side and tent camping on the other. Rv sites have power and water, no sewer and some of the tent sites have water. The creek runs behind the tent area but is easily accessible to everyone. There's a Tim Hortons, No Frills and Dollarama within walking distance. The sites aren't as well treed as I'd normally like but we still felt like we had privacy. The bathrooms are clean and the showers are free with plenty of hot water and decent pressure. NOTE to anyone pulling an RV that once you enter the campground there are only 2 roads into the sites and if you go past them you basically have to back down the road as they don't allow RVs past a certain point. There is a sewage treatment plant along the same road but we never noticed a smell carrying into the campground. The only downside is you do hear the highway traffic but we didn't find it enough to be disruptive at all.

Really loved this spot! Our host BJ was like an Uncle…so friendly! We were in town for a funeral for 3 loved ones and he was genuinely concerned. He came to talk to us every day and asked how we were doing. BJ kept the place neat and tidy and obviously takes pride in his job! Thank you

Great place to camp even if you're just using a tent they have RV spots as well. Our host BJ was very helpful and friendly. Nice quiet place to camp even on the weekend there was no loud parties
