Description
McLeod Meadows Campground in Kootenay National Park occupies a quite wooded area on the banks of the Kootenay River with spectacular views of the Rocky Mountains.
Listen to the sound of the Kootenay River and watch for wildlife, including deer and elk. Enjoy a gentle hike to Dog Lake or a more strenuous one by booking a Burgess Shale Fossil Hike to Stanley Glacier, then take a short trip down the highway to the Village of Radium Hot Springs in the Columbia Valley for great dining and a soak in the hot springs.
The open grasslands of McLeod Meadows and the nearby river makes ideal habitat for wildlife viewing. In early summer, the orchids bloom in the nearby meadows once the snow has melted, allowing for a special treat. Sites are appropriate for tents and small to mid-sized RVs.
McLeod Meadows has 80 un-serviced 80 sites, available First-come, first-serve. It is open June to September.

A, B and J loop are on first come, first serve basis. Choose a spot first, then do the registration at the fork of E/F/G and J/K loop, next to the theater. We had a very quiet night.

Nice campground, clean, in the woods, by the riverside. Some of the places can be prebooked, others are on a first come, first serve basis. We found a free spot in the middle of the high season Mosquitos are a pain like everywhere. Toilets are clean - but no lights. We liked that campground very much.

Nice scenery but thousands of mosquitoes here. Never had so much before in all of Canada. Not the campgrounds fault, though. No mobile reception.
