Great location - quick walk to the lake and downtown! Campground host is super chill/friendly. Toilets/showers available. Definitely recommend.

Third time we have parked here. Last night we watched 2 ball games from our camp site. Arrow Lake and lots of good hiking trails Elise by. Nakusp Hot Springs. Quaint little down town walking distance. The bathrooms have flush tookets and hot showers. My only recommendation is each toilet area should offer at least one highway toilet with a grab bar.
Chris McCaffery
Nice spot, little rough here and there but overall good vibe. Park staff are friendly, accommodating walking close to a huge beach, not super busy. Chill wee town. BC style scenic vistas. Relaxing

This is a great campground run by the village of Nakusp! Clean bathrooms and we even were able to park our trailer on a cement pad. Lots of nature around each site (not a sterile RV type park). Easy to walk to the village and the beach. We were able to get a power site. Enjoyed a wonderful campfire!

I only stopped through for one night along my travels, campground seemed more the kind of place friends and family set up for a few days at a time, however it was a lovely stop for me as well! Peaceful, right behind town, and well organized. Locations on site to wash dishes and recycle goods. Knowledgeable camp host. Only thing to note for the owner/manager is the that the toilets in the women's room seemed to have trouble flushing occasionally. However, for a completely booked full campground they were still in reasonable condition. I would definitely stay again!
