Really enjoyed ourselves at Pink Pumpkin. Nice site, easy to back into with our 26' stem to stern travel trailer. Power and water- very peaceful. Host is very good in getting back to you if you have a question. Had a great looking buck come up to our window on our last morning.

The site was great to stay at while attending the IPE. We were thankful to have a serviced site in the heat! I enjoyed walking down the dirt path around the corn field and sunflowers!
And our dogs enjoyed the walks too!

We stayed here so we could go to the Armstrong fair. It was a lovely spot away from the hustle-bustle of the fair, even though it was only a short drive to Armstrong. Clean porta potty, tidy sites, lovely host! I'm a very light sleeper and I had to wear ear plugs as some of the cars that drove along the back roads were super loud. But my family wasn't bothered... just a note for the light sleepers to have ear plugs. Heard owls in the night. Definitely recommend this spot.

A wonderful retreat for celebration or just recalibration. Time to reflect in a quiet peaceful place. Very romantic too as we were celebrating our anniversary. Thank you to Nancy for the wonderful added experience of the romantic package. It was a lovely time away

The yellow campsite is great as it's more secluded within the trees! Marek was a wonderful host! Thank you for having us 😄

The property is in a very quiet location and we were all alone in the camp spot and woke up to sunshine and light breeze in the trees around us. It’s a nice, level, grassy area with poplar trees around it next to a vineyard and surrounded by sweeping fields. Just a few minutes from Armstrong/Vernon

Staying at Marek and Iris's was a great little spot. The site was off by itself and very private. Quiet little haven in Armstrong.

A lovely secluded campsite in the heart of the North Okanagan. A little bit buggy but loved all the birdsong in the forest. It was a great location to bike around. Highly recommend going to Farmstrong cidery!

The campground was easy to find, as descripted on the reservation platform.
Even we were late, we could easily drive through to our reserved campsite. Marek hast guided us by chat.
The next morning we met Marek before leaving. He is a very kind person and he gave us many recommendation for our trip in Canada and for future trips at USA, like Yellowstone national park and Utah.
We had a really good conversation with Marek.
Thank you very much for all the recommendations.

I loved staying at Pink Pumpkin. The farm
And animals are so friendly and cute. The host was more than accommodating and they offer power and water which is such a gift. The farm offers great views of Armstrong and its location is fantastic

Where to go
Where to Go
Okanagan Lake (Highway 97)
Waterfront campgrounds have been replaced by luxury hotels, but there are still a few places where you can roll up and camp on the shores of one of the region’s six lakes. you can often find a remote waterfront campsite by renting a motorboat or even a canoe early in the day.
West Side of Okanagan Lake
Highway 97 is the valley’s main thoroughfare, but the narrow, twisty, and scenic Westside (or Fintry) Road leads to some of the region’s most secluded and picturesque campgrounds.
Area Fishing Lakes
Dozens of small fishing lakes dot the forested Okanagan Highlands to the north and south of Kelowna. These private campgrounds and BC Forest Service sites are often located on gravel backroads—campers need to be completely self-sufficient.
When to go
July and August are the ‘hot months,’ both in terms of temperature and popularity. In late spring, the valley’s orchards are a riot of color thanks to blooming cherry and apple trees. Fall is harvest time, specifically for the hundreds of wineries that make Kelowna the “Napa Valley of the North.” The fall bounty is celebrated during the annual Okanagan Fall Wine Festival held each October. Campers in spring and fall should definitely pack puffy parkas for extra warmth on chilly nights.
Know before you go
- Campground reservations are pretty much required, especially on summer weekends.
- As the largest city in the Okanagan (and third-largest in BC), Kelowna has all of the retail and professional services that every camper needs (think Costco, Wal-Mart, Mountain Equipment Co-op and Canadian Tire).
- Motorboats and jet skis are allowed on Okanagan Lake, but there are nearby lakes and beaches that don’t allow motorized watercraft.
- Fire bans are often in effect during the dry summer months.
