Conveniently located along Highway 3, Boundary Creek Campground is a well-situated overnight stop and is popular for those passing through the Boundary Region. Boundary Creek is a first come, first served park and often has spots available, even during peaks periods.
This park can be found on the banks of Boundary Creek just west of Greenwood. In the creek are small rainbow or brook trout that may reward the patient angler.
This park offers 16 campsites, one of which is a double. All of the sites are first come, first served.
Most sites along the river are surrounded by shrubs and well-spaced for privacy. The campground was rebuilt in 2016 and can accommodate larger RVs. A variety of tree species is present including Ponderosa pine, cottonwood, Lodgepole pine, Douglas fir and spruce which give the sites some shade. The closest store is in Greenwood, 4km east of the park.
Vehicle-accessible camping fee | $18 per party per night |
BC seniors’ rate (day after Labour Day to June 14 only) | $9 per senior party per night |
For information on the BC seniors’ rate, see the camping fees page.
Accessibility information is available for this park.
While campfires are allowed and campfire rings are provided at each campsite, we encourage visitors to conserve wood and protect the environment by minimizing the use of fire and using campstoves instead. Firewood can be purchased in the park or you may bring your own wood. Fees for firewood are set locally and may vary from park to park. Limited burning hours or campfire bans may be implemented.
To preserve vegetation and ground cover, please don’t gather firewood from the area around your campsite or elsewhere in the park (this is a ticketable offence under the Park Act). Dead wood is an important habitat element for many plants and animals and it adds organic matter to the soil.
One pit and two flush toilets are located in the campground.
There are trout-fishing opportunities available at this park. Anyone fishing or angling in British Columbia must have an appropriate licence.
Pets and domestic animals must be on a leash at all times and are not allowed in beach areas or park buildings. You are responsible for their behaviour and must dispose of their excrement. Backcountry areas are not suitable for dogs or other pets due to wildlife issues and the potential for problems with bears.
Bicycles must keep to roadways. Bicycle helmets are mandatory in British Columbia.
Please note that bicycles with electric assist motors (e-bikes) are not allowed on the trails within Boundary Creek Park. E-bikes are restricted to park roads and areas where motorized use is permitted. The only exception to this policy will be for authorized and identified trail maintenance bikes conducting work on behalf of BC Parks.
