The Story of Smoker Road:
Smoker Road is a beautiful 5-acre property highlighting some of Boundary Country’s best-kept secrets. Nestled between towering Ponderosa pines, along the West Kettle River - this property offers serene tranquillity with nature right outside your tent.
The Petcoff family is tight-knit. They love nature, adventure, and laughter. They acquired Smoker Road in 2017 with the mutual dream of sharing their passions with like-minded people.
There are 5 campsites available throughout the property for tent campers:
We also have complimentary amenities such as:
- toilet amenities
- table (upon request)
*We have firewood available for purchase. $10/crate that provides enough kindling, starter wood, and logs for a great fire. (bring cash!)
Our site manager, Pete, can tell you all about the area, the birds and wildlife.
He offers guided hikes upon request for any level beginner to intermediate. Hike rates are by donation.
The river is absolutely perfect for a summer dip on a HOT Okanagan day with a secret beach a short walk away.
They have created a fun, and safe environment for everyone to feel welcome! Enjoy the breathtaking scenery, while feeling inspired, and at peace.
Smoker Road is pet-friendly!

Beautiful place, we are hoping to come back and explore the area a lot more. Wonderful hosts. Beautiful cabin and beautiful land. Song Bird Ranch is the perfect name for the ranch.
