Rosebery Provincial Park


Overview

Just for camping, Rosebery Provincial Park is located just north of New Denver, on Highway 6. To the west, across Slocan Lake, is the magnificent Valhalla Provincial Park. Tucked along the banks of Wilson Creek, this park has an intimate, forested creek setting that offers secluded camping for overnight travellers or visitors seeking more adventure.

Rosebery Provincial Park is an ideal staging area for backcountry exploration of nearby Valhalla, Kokanee Glacier and Goat Range Provincial Parks. Visitors can also explore the numerous ghost-mining towns nearby and after an exciting day, relax in the many commercial or undeveloped natural hot springs in the area.

Reservations can be made up to 4 months in advance for qualifying campsites and up to 12 months in advance for group sites and picnic shelters. > FAQs

martha3For information on the park and surrounding area, visit the information shelters or talk to any park staff.  Information shelters are located at the campground entrance and by campsite 33.

water-yCold water is available for cooking and drinking. A hand pump is located at the park entrance.

campfrs-yWhile 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 for $10 per bundle or you may bring your own wood. 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.

The campground has 35 vehicle accessible sites, 2 of these are doubles and 6 have tent pads (sites 4, 11, 16, 17, 24, 32) . To accommodate larger recreational vehicles there are 6 pull-through sites. Limited parking is available for extra vehicles.

Services are offered in the high season between May and September. This park offers vehicle accessible campsites on a first-come, first-served basis as well as reservations. Visitors can select any site and staff will come to collect fees. A park gate is located at the park entrance. The closest store and pay phone are in New Denver, 5km south on highway 6.
