This 40 acres of valley bottom farm land is nestled under a steep rocky uprising to the east called Flyhills. To the west is Mt Ida which is often the backdrop to the display of a beautiful sunset. The property is divided by the slow meandering Salmon river which is only a foot deep at low water through the summer.

Was a beautiful place and having his horse and dog come hangout with us was a plus. We really liked our stay and thank you Ken. We’ll be back again if we can

The best night's sleep!
Ken was very friendly and welcoming, as was his dog Charlie. The land is beautiful, forested with the views of the mountains, yet so close to Salmon Arm. I had the best sleep in his quiet field, and loved waking up to the rooster call and the soft presence of horses ... Split and Lucky. I look forward to a return visit. Thank you Ken!

Great spot for kids
Loved the site, there is a lot of space and the dogs and horse are roaming the land as well. Our dog was very happy too. Just - bring bug spray !

Gorgeous Property, Horrendous Bugs
Ken’s property close to Salmon Arm is nothing short of beautiful. The small river running through the farm with Mt. Ida rising in the background creates an incredibly picturesque setting. The dog is friendly, joining me on my walks, with the horses grazing, and chickens scratching. The drive-in sites are leveled/cleared, and shaded by the trees. The walk-in tent sites by the river are mostly located in a grass clearing, with knee high grass when I visited. Note the walk to get to these sites is across a decent sized field, and thus any heavy items will be a bummer to lug out. The small river is peaceful, and despite it not suitable for swimming, I was tempted. There’re two pit toilets, which are decently clean, one near the drive-in sites, and the other at the opposite end of the field to the walk-in sites. While there’s no fire rings or picnic tables at the sites, there's a communal firepit / picnic table located near the lower outhouse. A rough goat trail runs from the drive-in sites up into the Flyhills that overlook the property. The views are well worth the scramble, but don’t expect to follow the trail exactly, as it’s easy to lose. However, there is a drawback: the mosquitos. When I visited in late July, no matter where I was, a literal cloud of relentless mosquitos followed. Even wearing multiple applications of 30% DEET repellent, I was still mobbed. For this reason, maybe stay at a different time of year, or find some other solution than hiding in a tent.
