Campground
Open year-round, Kilby Park is situated in beautiful Harrison Mills—a quiet corner of the Fraser Valley located at the confluence of the Fraser and Harrison rivers. The park features a family-oriented 41-site campground (for tents and RVs), a day-use area, sandy beaches, nature trails and a boat launch. The park is at the west end of Kilby Road, within walking distance of the Kilby Historic Site.
This family-oriented campground is operated by the Kilby Heritage Society, a charitable, non-profit community-based group, which also operates the nearby Kilby Historic Site. Every dollar spent at the campground supports our work at the historic site to preserve and facilitate continued access to heritage in BC. Thank you for keeping this unique historic site alive!
Most sites are reservable but we also have 7 first-come, first-serve, non-reservable, sites available year-round.
The Online Reservation System and Reservation Desk will open at 10 am Monday, March 3rd, 2025. Please click on the button above to book your site.

Boat Launch
Boat Launch ~ $15
Another facility that Kilby Park offers is the boat launch. Our location is truly a fisherman’s paradise on the Harrison River with easy access to the Fraser River and Harrison Lake.
All boats are charged $15 per launch. Place the completed payment (cash only) in the envelope provided and deposit it in the collection box located at the kiosk by the boat launch.
The rivers and lakes in the Fraser Valley feature spectacular steelhead, salmon, sturgeon and trout fishing year-round. The salmon returns on the Fraser and Harrison Rivers have never been better, and the park is located only 50km from salt water, meaning the fish are fresh and full of life. Coho salmon start entering the Fraser and Harrison Rivers in early September and return right through December. Although they average 8lbs they can obtain weights of up to 18lbs and provide a good challenge on light spinning tackle or fly gear, depending on your preferred method. Sockeye salmon opportunities also exist in freshwater. This great eating fish is available to anglers in “in-river” fisheries involving fly rod and regular gear.
Rainbow trout are considered the most popular freshwater fish. While trout as large as 35 pounds have been taken from B.C. lakes by sport fishers, they can grow larger. Many exciting fishing experiences centre on a battle with a steelhead, a feisty, sea-run rainbow trout. The average size of a steelhead is between 6 to 22 pounds.
The Sturgeon population is growing rapidly, largely due to the positive effects of a catch and release program, which Fisheries imposed in 1994. Sturgeon can live up to 200 years and can reach lengths of over 14 feet making them one of the most unique sport fish left in the world today. These freshwater fish are a fantastic challenge for trophy-seeking anglers often jumping several times and taking long runs before tiring for a quick photo session, and healthy release.
British Columbia is home to a rich diversity and abundance of native species and habitats. Programs within the Ministry of Environment endeavour to conserve biodiversity, provide a variety of opportunities for the use and enjoyment of wildlife in B.C., and maintain a balance between the needs of wildlife and the needs of the people.
