Revelstoke camping

[RXN]

Wondering if anyone would be kind enough to give up some secret crown land camping spots near Revolstoke.

Planning on Aug 2 to 8th.

26ft bumper pull.

Looking at campgrounds now. But figured why not ask on some crown land spots.

Thanks

Not sure how far from Revy you want to camp. I know some guys that that did spring sledding across the ferry at Galena bay, and camped out by the hot springs. They had a truck and camper pulling a 3place enclosed trailer.

Aug 2-8 your not riding sleds by Nakusp.
Need to go north toward Downey loop. Lots of places to hide heading toward mica.

Most of the free camping spots are grabbed up pretty quick however Carnes Creek forestry campground is excellent. No services other than outhouses. Right on the lake with a boat launch 36 km north of Revelstoke

Planning on taking the kid site seeing. Check out that Enchanted forest. And a few other easy hikes.

Quite a few random sites on hwy23 North. Absolutely gorgeous country in the summer.

the suspension bridge and waterfall is another sight to see with the little one! Just across the highway from crazy pools I believe.

Looks like it's next to the campground. Which is cool.

if you can beat the line up... the pipe coaster is worth it... my little guy loved it!

That is on my list.
Can you double on that? My kid is 6. But large for her age. No way she'd ride it alone.
I haven't googled or looked into that one yet. But would love to take her down it

 

[NoBrakes!]

100% you'll have to double her at that age, my boy was 6 as well.

I DARE you to try and leave the brakes alone....

beware of a potential line up.... was a wet morning when we went and they had to dry each cart and the rail for the brakes to work.... took some time and the lineup was like the ski hill on a pow day

 

[RXN]

Lol. Pretty hard not to use the brakes?

Probably have to do a few runs before a guy gets brave enough not to brake

 

[NoBrakes!]

It's a blast!

 

[tejay]

You have lots to see and do out that way , Three Valley gap ghost town, Enchanted Forest and Sky Trek adventure park ( one location) revelstoke dam tours, the mountain coaster at the skihill, railway museum in town along with the suspension bridge and falls accessible from your campground. You will have a blast! Lots to choose from .

Issue I had was catching up to people when we went. But it goes pretty good

Stayed there with the family.. Nice play ground and good swimming. Heavy on the mosquito down along the river trails. I'd stay there again. Enchanted forest was fun.

How were the hot pools they advertise?

Good. I've been several times. Hot. Hotter and then the swimming pool is warm enough that even I went in and I hate cold water. Even a small cold plunge.
