The campground has 42 sites that can accommodate RVs and tents. Water, electricity, and full hook-ups are available. Many sites are convenient 'pull-throughs', which can accommodate even the largest vehicles. To view a site plan of the campground click here.

Picnic tables and fireboxes are located at every site, and the washrooms have free hot showers, and flush toilets. We also have a beautiful log cook shelter, so you can enjoy the fresh air and scenery -- come rain or shine! This shelter seats 30+ so it is great for larger groups of people.

2009 will see exiting New Adventures added in Blue River!!! Adventures are for families, couples, and even the most daring adventurers!!! 2009 will also see the addition of wireless Internet reaching most of our campsites.

The Blue River Campground is pleased to announce a New Office Building and Store in 2005!!! Inspired by the success of our new Camping Cabins in 2003 and our traditional Tipi rentals, we just had to keep building! In 2007 we added town and country bikes to our rental offerings for guests to explore the area and check out the town.
