Yes you can camp in our little piece of paradise...
Spectacular views and scenery surround you. It is not necessary to own a waterfront property to be able to enjoy the sights and explore what it feels like to be living in Kelowna and the surrounding area.
I've always felt if you really wanted to see what a place was like to be...there is nothing like sleeping under the stars. And even if you live here, you can still camp in the local campgrounds lining the Okanagan Valley.
Here are some links that might assist you in planning your stay:
PROVINCIAL CAMPGROUNDS
Make sure you book in early once you decide your heading to the Okanagan. Spots are limited and can fill up fast.
Truly a natural wonderland, Bear Creek Provincial Park is situated in the Central Okanagan Basin on the west side of Okanagan Lake. The park features lakeside camping, over 400 metres of sandy beaches and 5 km of spectacular, well-marked hiking trails.
A picturesque canyon has been carved into the bedrock by Bear Creek tumbling onto a cottonwood-lined delta. This park is extremely busy during the summer season and reservations are recommended. For your convenience, during the summer season the park has a concession located at the Gatehouse and managed by the Park Facility Operator.
Bear Creek is one of my favourite parks...
Park Size: 178 hectares
Fintry Provincial Park includes 360 hectares of the former Fintry Estate, a heritage site with a colourful history. From the delta area to a forested area made up of ridges and deep slopes, this park offers two dramatically different topographical areas.
There is over 2 km of waterfront with surrounding mountains and deep canyons. Shorts Creek passes through a deep canyon creating a series of waterfalls and deep pools. With almost two kilometres of waterfront property, the park has opportunities for camping, swimming, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, hiking and wildlife viewing.
Recreational users can enjoy the natural sand beach while wildlife viewers can hike the Canyon trail and view a variety of birds, small mammals, deer and bighorn sheep in the higher regions. Historical features throughout the park include the Manor House, the octagonal barn and several other farm buildings. A small wetland area located south of the Packing House, a portion of lakeshore and the Shorts Creek corridor and canyon below Westside Road are designated Special Feature-Natural Conservation Areas.
Notable features within the zone include a large eagle's nest, old growth cottonwoods and several wildlife trees, Shorts Creek waterfall and kokanee spawning grounds. The Fintry Manor House, garden, the barns, remnant power generation and irrigation systems are special heritage features.
Fintry Protected Area was established on April 18, 2001, to enhance the ecological viability of the existing Park. This protected area protects important California bighorn sheep habitat and provides increased representation of the North Okanagan Basin ecosection by capturing an increased elevational gradient as well as providing a spectacular canyon and hiking and viewing opportunities.
Park Size: 361 hectares for the Park and 523 hectares for the Protected Area
Kekuli Bay Provincial Park is located off Highway 97, 11 km. south of Vernon. The park is situated on a beautiful bay on the west side of Kalamalka Lake, a destination for waterskiing and boating. A newly developed campground has been added to the area which formerly consisted only of a boat launch.
Many young shade trees were planted and the grassy areas between the sites are beautifully landscaped. The young trees planted 10 years ago have begun to mature and provide shade and privacy around the sites, especially on the upper loops.
There are irrigated grassy areas between the sites full of beautiful trees and shrubs including rose bushes that are in full bloom during the spring. All campsites offer great views of Kalamalka Lake and offer the warmth of the sun in the spring and fall.
Park Size: 57 ha
Beautiful, sandy/pebbly beaches surrounded by ponderosa pine and sagebrush make this park the perfect spot for swimming and water activities.
At the two large campgrounds in the park, panoramic views, picnic sites and interpretive programs which run from late June through Labour Day weekend, will add to your enjoyment.
The landscape across the lake, from beach to skyline, is part of Okanagan Mountain Provincial Park, accessible by boat or by driving back through Kelowna.
For your convenience, during the summer season this park has a concession located at the South campground gatehouse and managed by the Park Facility Operator.
