Camp

Nice little place for a campground. I came to visit my friends and have a reunion. There was parking out front and the beach was a short drive away. There wasn't much privacy between each parking spot but there was more room than there generally is. Parking was probably easy even though my friend's rv is pretty long. Overall nice place to relax for awhile.

Very clean, great park staff. Choose your spot though because some are kinda close together. The best time to go in July is the beginning of the week not the end.

Fantastic stay! We loved our site with the privacy and green grass. We had electricity that worked great. The showers were clean and inexpensive. The outhouses were well cared for with supplies and even reading material. The owners clearly care about providing what they promise. I would definitely stay there again.

The best camping one can imagine

We arrived with an RV to find that many of the occupants were Canadians who have been coming to the campground for decades. That was a real plus because these folks were kind, warm and welcoming. It was a community of neighbors instead of a campground of strangers. The setting is lovely and the host and staff were great. We want to return.

So many biking/hiking trails to get lost on. Kayaking from Tribune to Mushroom beach is a great afternoon as well! Local foods and arts are definitely worth mentioning as well.

My family and I had an excellent time! The campground is really beautiful and the workers were always kind. A staff member even lent us his tent when we realized the one we borrowed from a friend was missing the poles! What a generous gesture! We loved our stay, and will come back as soon as we can. Great for kids, close to everything and the sunset views from the cove are unbelievable...

Love the water and the sandy beach. Lots of fun with the water.

Beautiful spot to take a break from long road trips

Best place to be on a scorching hot day!

I stayed here last summer and was really impressed with the beautiful setting and friendly hosts. The B & B suite is completely detached and has a pullout couch, seating area, and bathroom. They even stock movies and have a TV and small wardrobe. We were served fresh fruit and heart shaped waffles for breakfast!!! Highly recommended.

It was a great place to stay the walk to the lake was a min. away. It is the only place campground on Mara lake. Warm most of the time. great for little kids. only bad thing is there is not a lot of grass and is not pet friendly

One of the most scenic Summer recreation spots on Kootenay Lake. Garland Bay is paradise for paddle sports, swimming, fishing, lakeside camping, spectacular Kootenay Lake vistas and vivid sunsets. It is quiet in the Spring and Fall, but can be very busy during the Summer months. There are North and South camping sections separated by a creek mouth and a central area of private property. One of my personal favorite spots on Kootenay Lake.

I can honestly say that this bay has become a favorite place. The peace here is tangible and refreshing to the spirit. We sat at the beach for hours, kayaked, floated, played with our dog, and soaked in the tranquility and views. We didn't stay at the campground, but in my BIL and SIL retirement home right above this rocky beach. This community just feels old school, welcoming, and on a slow roll, which we loved. Internet and cell service is spotty which kept us unplugged most of the time. I just can't say enough about this hidden wonder.

Had a nice stayll].

We had a great experience given the circumstances we found ourselves in. Our house sold too soon and the new one wasn’t built in time. We camped for 7 weeks in tents with our puppy and teenager and made Brannen Lake Campsite our home. We felt safe and had everything we needed to make this experience as comfortable as possible. There was no noise after hours and our belongings and privacy were respected. Darcy always made rounds and kept an eye on our site. He took pride in keeping the grounds clean and making us feel welcome. Loraine was kind in allowing us to stay so long given the situation we were in. I miss the owls at night and the birds in the morning. Beautiful place. Quiet, clean and family friendly. Will be back.

Love!
