Salmon Arm Camping Resort
RV sites and cottages on Hwy 97B just outside of
Salmon Arm. This site is the one that is closest to the South Canoe trail system (where
the race will be held) and is just a few minutes drive away.

Elk’s Hall & RV Park
RV and tenting sites on a quiet side road just outside of town.
This site is the second closest and is about a 10 minute drive from the Salty Dog race
site.

Pierres Point Campground
A popular lakeshore site 8 km west of town that has RV
and tenting sites. This spot is about a 15-minute drive from the race site and is operated
by the Adams Lake Indian Band.

Viewpoint RV & Cottages
Similar to Pierre’s Point, this site is a short drive west of
town and is about 15 minutes away from where the race will be held. There are tenting
and RV sites, as well as cottages that are available for rent.

Riverside RV Park & Campground
RV and tenting sites on the Shuswap River. This
site is located in Enderby, about a 20-minute drive south from where the race will be
held.

Herald Provincial Park
For those who prefer them, Herald’s is the provincial campsite that
is closest to the South Canoe trails. The park is waterfront and picturesque, but of all
the spots listed here, it is the furthest away. It takes about 35 minutes to drive there from
the race site.
