The best campgrounds in Okanagan Valley with horseback riding

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.

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.

Or chill in the direct sun and listen to the birds

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.

Daniel and his father are exceptional hosts, ensuring a wonderful stay. The campsite boasts a stunning mountain-ringed location and offers all the essential amenities, including clean wash basins, a versatile water hose, and a spotless shower room. We arrived late, and his dad kindly assisted us with lighting for our tent setup. The site features ample parking, a powered electrical pole with multiple outlets, and a strong sense of security. It's an ideal, family-friendly spot in Osoyoos that I highly recommend and would gladly visit again.

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

Daniel is the kindest uber friendly human being. He made us feel right at home, and made sure we had a great stay. It was the highlight of your trip! The peaches he gave us were the most delicious; meaty, sweet and juicy, and we are still enjoying his cucumbers after a few days, remembering the warm hospitality of the Similkameen valley. The views over the valley were wonderful from our campsite. It was also great to have access to the bathroom for a quick shower in the morning. Thank you Daniel and family! We loved our stay at Fruit Haven farm, and hope to see you again :)
