Kikomun Creek Provincial Park — Hotel in Area B (Lake Koocanusa)

This park is located in south eastern BC, Canada several miles off Hwy 93. The roads to the park are two lane paved roads and the turns to the park are well marked making it a nice easy drive and easy to find. The park is in hot, dry country in summer and while there are trees there is little or no shade at the Ponderosa Campground we camped in. We were glad we booked an electric site as we needed the air conditioner here. Unserviced sites have lake view, are larger, and have good space between. Electric sites are small with no space between. The lake is very pretty but the lake shore at Ponderosa campground is tall grass and a muddy shore. Good for dogs, tubes, and boating but not great for swimming. Big park with multiple campgrounds, sani-dump, cabins, group areas, and fishing. There was no privacy at the Ponderosa campground and the electric sites are very close together. Hot water showers and flush toilets available and easily accessible in this small campground. The playground and boat launch are not close to this campground. Good paved roads and...

Family oriented campground with access to lake and beach. Lots of mature trees for shade but few shrubs, so privacy is somewhat lacking. Well maintained roadways and pads in variety of sizes, suitable for small vehicles and tents as well as larger trailers.

A certain amount of sites are reservable with a some first come first serve available. Wheelchair accessible pit toilets, but no sink. Running water available from pipes near garbage and recycling bins. Overall a good place if you're looking for more of a family/friend outdoor experience, but don't expect anything close to remote wilderness. Dogs are fine at campground (on leash) but are not...

We re there a few days ago. It's a beautiful and peaceful place to relax, but the manager was a bit strange and controlling. She kept telling us what we could and couldn't do, instead of just letting us enjoy the place. It seemed like it was more for older people who just want to read books and spy on each other. They have a big volleyball court, but you can't play after 6 pm because it's too loud. And they have a rule against drinking alcohol, but the guy who drives around and checks on everything was drinking in his car. I'm pretty easygoing, but this place is not for people in their 30s. It's like they want you to shut up, close your eyes, and just sit in your tent. No thanks! I'm not ready to spend my retirement years like that. Sorry, BC, but your management...
