Burton Historical Park Campground

Burton Historical Park Campground sits on the scenic shores of Lower Arrow Lake in the small community of Burton, BC, roughly 35 kilometres south of Nakusp.

Community-run and family-oriented, the park carries a meaningful historical connection to the original townsite submerged when the High Arrow Dam was constructed. It is widely considered one of the Kootenays' best-kept secrets.

The campground offers 37 spacious sites, 21 of which have power and water hookups, with views across the lake to the surrounding mountains.

Amenities include modern washrooms and showers, fire pits, a dishwashing station, picnic area, horseshoe pit, volleyball net, sandy beach access, a boat launch and dock, and a sani-dump station. On-site park hosts are present throughout the season.
