This park provides a lush, green environment where travelers can rest under a canopy of mature trees. Unlike many generic roadside stops, this location feels integrated with the natural landscape while remaining incredibly close to local conveniences.

The park is uniquely situated at the confluence of the Kettle and Granby Rivers, providing a picturesque backdrop for every stay. Being located right within the city of Grand Forks, guests enjoy the luxury of walking to local shops, cafes, and historic sites. The surrounding valley is known for its rolling hills and sunny climate, making it a perfect spot for those who appreciate the outdoors.

Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Outdoor enthusiasts will find no shortage of activities just steps from their campsite. The nearby Trans Canada Trail offers miles of flat, accessible paths for cycling and hiking, showcasing the region's historic rail-trail charm.

For a bit of local culture, the downtown area features heritage buildings and markets that highlight the area's unique Doukhobor history and vibrant community spirit.

This destination is ideal for families and retirees who value a balance of natural beauty and urban accessibility. It is a fantastic choice for cyclists touring the Kettle Valley Rail Trail who need a reliable place to rest and recharge.

Is a nice place to hang out, close to the river and have rv campground but the only downside is not have public washroom because it all luck up
Rob Lynd
This is a very nice setting with clean facilities for an overnight stop. Would have given it 5 stars if it wasnt for the very rude camp host and the price. 37 dollars to drop a small tent for the night.

Nicely designed campground with sun and shade sites, the bathroom and showers are big and clean. We counted 10 deer last night grazing in the park.

This campground is absolutely pristine!! Stayed one night but we will definitely come back. Grand Forks is a beautiful town. Great sites and great service from Joan (Host). You can reserve online.

I was looking for a last-minute place to set up my tent and was happy to find this spot! You can check in from 8 AM to 8 PM. Rate was reasonable, considering there was a very well kept washroom, shower, and potable water. It’s right next to a local field so there was some sports happening. Beautiful river to cool down, however, the sawmill is right across so be prepared for mechanical noises. Tent sites were grassy with picnic tables. Overall, I felt safe here! Joan was a lovely host and informative.
