The Municipal Campground
Centrally located, close to downtown, reservations are recommended for mid-July to mid-August. The people there are very friendly. It is adjacent to the swimming pool, and within walking distance of town, which means restaurants and so on. Bicycles are handy.
Contact: Tel 250-344-5412 Greg Kalyniuk - Town Hall (250-344-2271)

Sander Lake Campground
Probably a nicer campground, located above the Nicholson LZ, but you definitely need a vehicle. It is much quieter than the municipal campground.

Whitetail Campsite
Located on the North bench, about 3 km from town. A number of pilots like this spot. Again, quieter than the municipal campground. Vehicle needed. Run by Jack and Rhoda Wilson. Nice guy - has a sense of humour.
Contact: Tel 250-344-5979 KOA/Whispering Pines Spruce Campground
About 2 km from town. For some reason not much used by pilots, although a perfectly good campground.
