If you’re going camping this weekend, an Arrow Lakes park now has more sites.
Thirty-nine more campsites are now available at McDonald Creek Provincial Park south of Nakusp, bringing the total to 112.
Twenty-eight of the new sites require reservations while the remaining 11 sites are first-come, first-served. All campsite furnishings and services in the new loop are accessible. Eight pit toilets in the existing campground have been upgraded to accessible standards.
“People who live here, and visitors alike, love to enjoy the amazing outdoor experiences that Nakusp and the area have to offer,” said Kootenay West MLA Katrine Conroy.
The McDonald Creek Park campground expansion cost approximately $750,000 and is part of a $21.5-million investment to expand and enhance opportunities for outdoor recreation throughout B.C.
