The 8,000 soul girl Castlegar lives from the timber industry. Kilometers before you reach the place, it announces itself through the rafted logs on the Columbia River. On the outskirts of the city there is a campsite, from which you can be in the center in a few minutes. In addition to a coin laundry, there are all shops for cycling and travel needs. There is also a large selection of restaurants so that the camping stove can take a break. The perfect place to take in the comforts of civilization for a change after the loneliness of the railway lines.
