Chris,
We have a 24' trailer with truck. Would like a nice lake/beach (good for young ankle-biters), showers and flush toilets would be a nice bonus too. Provincial or private don't really matter.

Also debating if I should pickup a weekly fishing license for BC and bring my fly rod. Im not a crazy fisher nut but enjoy getting my line wet.

If your into Provincial campgrounds there is a nice one about 20-30 min's north of Nakusp called McDonald creek, the water will be alot warmer there then the Kootenay (it's on the upper Arrow Lake).
Or there's Syringa about 20mins out of Castlegar (Lower Arrow)
If you want to go to the realy good sites, check out the forestry site's (no showers or flush toilets thow)
