The best river, stream, or creek glamping in Okanagan Valley

Extending more than 170 kilometres (105 miles) from the US border north to the city of Vernon, the Okanagan Valley is Western Canada’s major wine-producing region, with more than 200 wineries amid the rolling hills. The Okanagan is also an agricultural area, where farmers’ markets and roadside stands sell peaches, corn, tomatoes, and more. You can swim or paddle the region’s lakes, including the 135-kilometer (84-mile) Okanagan Lake. Peak camping season runs from April through October in this dry, sunny region. Spring and fall are usually pleasant, and summers can be hot—the valley encompasses Canada’s largest desert. Winters are milder and drier than in other Canadian regions, although snow can fall December through February.

Weekend Trip to Charming Creekside Caravan

My wife, 12 year old son and I stayed at Creekside Caravan for a night on our way between Vancouver and the Kootenays. It was absolutely wonderful and would definitely recommend staying here. Mike was an awesome host, communication wise responsive and very easy to work with. Upon our arrival Mike greeted us, showed us around, made sure we had everything and then left us to our own. The caravan is very nicely designed and super comfy. You could tell how much thought and effort went into all the little details that make it so warm and inviting. We had everything we needed to cook some eggs, make coffee, etc. We had a chance to enjoy the fire pit, feed some chickens and slept amazing with the running water of the creek nearby. While we were there we thought to ourselves we could have just planned our whole vacation here and not just a one night stop ;) There is always next time!

“Absolutely loved our stay at Basecamp Caravan! Liana welcomed us warmly when we arrived at night, and the cozy camper spot by the creek was peaceful and scenic. Morning chats with Liana and Mike over breakfast were such a joy. We adored Indee and Marvin (the sweetest dogs), meeting the hens, and seeing Mike’s classic Range Rover restoration. We’d happily come back to enjoy the peaceful setting and great company all over again. It’s the kind of place where you slow down, breathe, and truly enjoy the moment.

This is the perfect campsite! The caravan is bright and cozy, with everything you need - a bathroom and shower, oven, fridge, cooking supplies, and more. The property isn't far from town, but it feels really peaceful and secluded. The creek is right there, so you get the sound of the water, and you can take a chair down to the water or enjoy the view from the wooden platform. The hosts were super nice and accommodating, and I definitely recommend staying here!

We loved our stay in the caravan! The place was idyllic, perfectly situated outside of Kelowna, and all our needs were anticipated. The place was outfitted with amenities and even had cornhole and a barbecue. Our highlight was being able to hold and feed the chickens. My only regret is we only had a night to spend there, but we will most certainly be back!

1 night at Charming Creekside Caravan

This was THE best experience we have ever had with camping. The hospitality and everything included was worth far more than the actual price of the accommodation. Was not expecting that at all. Liana and her husband were so kind and helpful to us for our short stay with them. They let us use their property as if it was our own, gave us plenty of recommendations, even were great socialisers, considering you are respectful and willing to engage with them. Otherwise they will give you your space if you want it. Hoping to be able to stay with them again whenever we go back to the Okanagan. Their property is beautiful, quiet and very private. So many complimentary food and fun things to do. They are top tier genuine nice people. I could not give them a better review. Any guests are lucky to stay with them and have a similar experience to us. 11/10
