The best camping near Osoyoos

·

Just a few kilometres north of the U.S. border, this small community is surrounded by water and stretched out on a pair of peninsulas jutting into its namesake lake. Warm and calm, swim from sandy beaches or paddle from downtown docks and boat launches. But you’ll want to explore nearby, too. Surrounded by desert and situated at the southernmost end of the Okanagan Valley, this place is famous for its wineries, which climb the surrounding ridges and offer reds more typical of hot, dry climates (like Spain or Italy). Bike between tasting rooms, or take a spin on the relatively flat, 18.4-kilometre International Hike and Bike Trail.

Chute Lake Lodge

4. Chute Lake Lodge

73km from Osoyoos · 32 sites · Lodging · Naramata, BC
Make your stay with us unique. We know that everyone has their own ideas when it comes to how they want to travel, where they want to stay and what they want to explore. We are proud to offer a wide range of accommodation options to make your stay just right. The birth of Chute Lake started approximately a century ago. The combined population of Kelowna and Penticton was a mere 7,000, and the First World War was just wrapping up. A bustling new sawmill on the shore of Chute Lake had a crew of hardworking loggers thinking it was time to build themselves a place to sleep and eat. Raw materials certainly wouldn’t be an issue, located in the middle of a forest. The crews worked all day turning trees into logs. Soon enough those logs were being hauled from the mill and up a gentle slope to the proposed location of the new bunkhouse. A few years later, the Kettle Valley Railway would arrive, and the mill and freshly built bunkhouse would take on additional roles. It served as a water stop for the steam engines that pulled the passing trains. Enterprising mill workers would even sell some of the large fish they pulled from the lake to the dining carts. These were the formative years Chute Lake Lodge. Cabins have been added and in the 1980s, the central lodge building nearly doubled in size. The restaurant was added with lodge rooms above. The railway that ran directly in front was converted into one of the best cycling paths in the province.

50km from Osoyoos · 10 sites · Tents, RVs · Beaverdell, BC
Welcome to a natural, convenient location with basic amenities on the West Kettle River! We have 300 acres including 1500 meters of river frontage with access to the surrounding crown land and KVR trail which runs through the property. We recommend arriving before dark so that you aren't complaining in a review how hard sites are to find at night, in the dark. Some sites may be overgrown generally a lawn mower is provided for your use. If you are looking for fully serviced campsites where the outhouse is closer than 250m, then you should just carry on! The KVR trail is the access to the property. From HWY 33 South, take the turn (West) onto Tuzo Main Road (about 7km's south of Beaverdell), then cross the wooden bridge over the Kettle River and take the first left onto the KVR trail (a long, straight flat gravel road) and follow for 1900meters. Mostly wide enough for one way traffic only, so please be patient and mindful of trail users on bikes, quads and vehicles. After driving down the KVR right of way about 1.2km, you will arrive at the farmhouse gates - there you will see a little sign for the campground on the tree, so keep going down the right away. Once you go another 600m or so, you will come to a homemade sign with an arrow pointing you left. Turn there and then make a quick right turn then follow the road. You will come to the large tree with a picnic table and two blue barrels marking site #10. Sites 1, 2, 3 ,4 are over at the river, the other RV sites 5, 6, 7, 8, can be any where around site 10 or in the loop. I can always bring the lawner mower over to cut the grass and weeds down just get a hold of me. We currently have 5 tent only sites on the river and 25 RV/Tent sites currently about 100m from the river. There are currently picnic tables with blue umbrellas for sites 1, 3, 4, 10. There is a small white table and chairs for site 2. RV's sites include sites #4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 - I can add many more RV sites. Just need to cut the grass/weeds. Fishing, hiking, exploring, bring your quads, dirt bikes. There's plenty of roads and trails ... Even a secret honey hole fishing spot not far away but that's hush hush only locals know about this gem. A camper told me recently he saw a massive fish (16+ inches), likely a rainbow in the Kettle.

50km from Osoyoos · 10 sites · Tents, RVs · Beaverdell, BC
Welcome to a natural, convenient location with basic amenities on the West Kettle River! We have 300 acres including 1500 meters of river frontage with access to the surrounding crown land and KVR trail which runs through the property. We recommend arriving before dark so that you aren't complaining in a review how hard sites are to find at night, in the dark. Some sites may be overgrown generally a lawn mower is provided for your use. If you are looking for fully serviced campsites where the outhouse is closer than 250m, then you should just carry on! The KVR trail is the access to the property. From HWY 33 South, take the turn (West) onto Tuzo Main Road (about 7km's south of Beaverdell), then cross the wooden bridge over the Kettle River and take the first left onto the KVR trail (a long, straight flat gravel road) and follow for 1900meters. Mostly wide enough for one way traffic only, so please be patient and mindful of trail users on bikes, quads and vehicles. After driving down the KVR right of way about 1.2km, you will arrive at the farmhouse gates - there you will see a little sign for the campground on the tree, so keep going down the right away. Once you go another 600m or so, you will come to a homemade sign with an arrow pointing you left. Turn there and then make a quick right turn then follow the road. You will come to the large tree with a picnic table and two blue barrels marking site #10. Sites 1, 2, 3 ,4 are over at the river, the other RV sites 5, 6, 7, 8, can be any where around site 10 or in the loop. I can always bring the lawner mower over to cut the grass and weeds down just get a hold of me. We currently have 5 tent only sites on the river and 25 RV/Tent sites currently about 100m from the river. There are currently picnic tables with blue umbrellas for sites 1, 3, 4, 10. There is a small white table and chairs for site 2. RV's sites include sites #4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 - I can add many more RV sites. Just need to cut the grass/weeds. Fishing, hiking, exploring, bring your quads, dirt bikes. There's plenty of roads and trails ... Even a secret honey hole fishing spot not far away but that's hush hush only locals know about this gem. A camper told me recently he saw a massive fish (16+ inches), likely a rainbow in the Kettle.

Our country style welcome has guests coming back. Ask us about interacting with animals, our farm produce, gold panning and sluice box in Lucky Strike Creek, hammock rentals, E-bike rentals (Grandfondo runs right by our property), endless hiking, and more!

Where to go

swiws (Haynes Point) Provincial Park

Pronounced “s-wee-yous” and set on a narrow spit of land just south of downtown, this was, for many generations, where local Indigenous people passed across Osoyoos Lake, either astride a horse or on foot. Swim in the shallow waters, today you can fish for some 40 species of fish, or take a walk on a gravel path and boardwalks to a viewing platform in the middle of the marshland to spot wildlife and many types of birds.

Vaseux Lake Provincial Park

The spot where the Okanagan River widens into a narrow lake, set below bluffs often inhabited by mountain goats, Vaseaux is the perfect place for fishing, paddling, and birding. Drop a line in the calm waters for rainbow trout and large-mouth bass, or head to the placid, blue lake for excellent canoeing and kayaking. Those looking to see as many bird species as possible should take a walk to the nearby migratory bird sanctuary.

Okanagan Lake Provincial Park

Set on the shores of the narrow, 135-kilometre lake, this park has sandy beaches for swimming, and plenty of opportunities to get out on the water, whether windsurfing or waterskiing. Walk the one-kilometre interpretive trail through ponderosa pine and sagebrush. And if you need even more? Get in a boat and head directly across the lake to Okanagan Mountain Provincial Park, which offers 10,000 hectares of forest, grasslands, and lakes accessible only by trail.  

When to go

One of the warmest towns in Canada, Osoyoos has a longer camping season than most. Daytime highs are already into the upper teens in April, and summers are dry, sunny, and hot. Perhaps the most pleasant time to visit is in September and October, when summer crowds have decamped, afternoons remain very warm, grapes are harvested, and the leaves on the vines turn to rusty shades of gold and red.

Know before you go

  • Summer weather here is hot and dry, sometimes reaching extremes—if you’re embarking on a hiking or cycling trip, make sure to wear a hat and sunscreen.
  • If you’re fishing, make sure to purchase a license at one of the many local retailers that offer them and keep it with you at while angling,
  • While Osoyoos has a number of stores that offer food and basic supplies, if you’re looking to stock up on camping gear, you’d be well advised to purchase in a larger city like Kelowna, to the north.
