Buckley Campground is a service of BC Hydro, which operates Seven Mile Dam, behind which is the Pend d'Oreille Reservoir, on the shores of which is this campground. The campground is about a mile past the dam (east) on Seven Mile Dam Road. There's a sign at the turnoff. We stopped by on one of the busiest days of the year (Canada Day) and there were two campsites available, one of which was taken when we were there. It has a large day use area and the boat launch is heavily used by local boaters and fishermen.
The boat ramp is at the far end of the campground as one enters and has a parking lot just beyond. On busy days the boaters also park on the edge of the day use road on the upper edge of the campground. The boat ramp also has 60 metres of boarding floats beside it.
This is the nearest large body of water to Trail, BC, other than the Columbia River.
