Ah, June in the Okanagan… the birds are singing, the trees are greening, and the great outdoors is practically yelling, “Get out here!” Whether you’re rolling in a big RV, hauling a pop-up, pitching a tent, or cowboying it under the stars – camping season is officially ON.
Here are some hidden gem camping spots you might want to put on your adventure list:
North Okanagan:
Echo Lake Provincial Park (Lumby) – Quiet, peaceful, and tucked away in nature’s back pocket. Great fishing and swimming!
Mabel Lake Resort & Marina – Ideal for families with a mix of tent sites and full hook-ups, plus access to a beautiful beach and boat rentals.
Central Okanagan:
Bear Creek Provincial Park – A Kelowna-area classic. Forest, beach, and a waterfall hiking trail all in one.
Wrinkly Face Provincial Park – No joke, that’s the name. Quieter, less developed, and great for off-grid tenting and stargazing.
South Okanagan:
Banbury Green RV & Camping Resort (Penticton) – Set along Skaha Lake with shaded sites and paddleboard rentals.
Vaseux Lake Campground – A smaller, more secluded lakeside spot near Oliver that’s big on birds, beauty, and serenity.
Before You Go… Let’s Talk About That Vehicle
We love a good spontaneous road trip – but not the kind where your battery dies halfway to Banbury or your brakes squeal louder than a squirrel in your snack bag.
Get your vehicle summer-ready with our Camping Season Inspection. We’ll check your tires, fluids, brakes, battery, and make sure your ride’s ready to roll—whether it’s hauling a trailer or just hauling marshmallows.

Because they always leave their tents-ion unresolved. ??
