Rosebery Provincial Park — Attraction in Area H (The Slocan Valley)

No showers or running water to wash hands, but there is a hand pump with potable water at the entrance to the park. The brand new playground is amazing - recommended for ages 5-12 with a toddler rocking toy for 2-12. It kept my 6 and 9 year old well-entertainrd. The pit toilets were freshly emptied for September long weekend and came equipped with air freshners and hand sanitizer.

I'll make a point of returning to ride the route south which is known as The Galena Trail which looks much more developed. You can't go wrong with the location though, it's...

Stayed at this campground the last two years. First time through, we planned to stay a night but didn't leave for a week. The couple that runs the campground are very friendly and do a fantastic job. Everything is kept very clean. Bins of firewood are available for $7. Nice river running alongside the campground. And enough distance between you and your neighbours to have assume privacy. New Denver is only a few minutes away by car ....or a quick bike ride alongside...
