Back Forty Vineyards

2 sites ¡ RVs, Tents40 acres ¡ Peachland, BC
Come camp on a 40-acre parcel backing onto crown land mountains and wake up in front of 10 acres of vineyard and a view of Okanagan Lake! Outhouse on the property and it is a working farm so will likely have various equipment around at times as well as workers at certain times of the year. You’ll likely meet our very friendly and very energetic Bernedoodle, Bernie. If you prefer to keep him out of your campsite just let us know and we can keep him closer. Otherwise, he thinks he has the run of the place! Please check to see if campfires are allowed (live in a high-risk fire zone) and firewood is available with an extra charge. If you need anything to better enjoy your stay, just let us know!Our property is located in Peachland, BC. Positioned midway between Kelowna and Pentiction, it is the perfect location to draw from both population centres and is well-positioned to act as a hub for popular wine and other agri-tourism activities. Peachland is within easy reach of over 200 estate wineries and microbreweries.

Paradise On The River

We have a beautiful 20-acre piece of pristine riverfront with an incredible mountain backdrop. I call it my own personal Yellowstone. We have fresh water available and two porta-potties on site. Unfortunately, we don't have WiFi, but who needs it out here? You can go off-roading up Stemwinder Mountain, just a 10-minute drive if you have a quad. You can also swim at Bromley Rock and float down the river, or hike up Nickelplate Road to the old mines and discover the local relics of the gold mining site up the mountain. Visit the Hedley Museum for a wealth of knowledge about the area, or simply relax on or by the riverside. You can pick your spot as far away or as close to the river as you want to be. This is nature at its finest. Come and collect and paint rocks in the fresh air, or just take in the scenery for some therapeutic vibes. Do yoga under the awesome starlit nights. We are located just outside the quaint and friendly little town of Hedley, where you are 5 minutes away from a country store that has all the food, libations, and camping supplies you need in a pinch. We're also a 25-minute drive in either direction from Princeton or Keremeos in the Okanagan-Similkameen area of beautiful BC.

Nestled among the pines of the sunny Okanagan is a retreat where butterflies play. Featuring rustic hut-style rooms (comfy queen size bed in each), a courtyard (including a kitchenette), a dining table/chairs under an umbrella, and sunny patio. Forget your worries, embrace serenity, enjoy the magnificent sunsets, star-gazing, singing birds, and sage mountain air while glamping in this sanctuary. The reviews speak for themselves; thank you to our wonderful guests! Welcome to our sprawling, secluded farm. To access this private retreat we offer to transport you and your supplies with our ATV, although some prefer the peaceful 1/4 mile hike. Explore the historic staging grounds for a Wild West cattle auction, where the cowboys drove the herds onto trains at the end of the KVR line! Please respect nature as wildlife, flora, and dangerous terrain are part of our environment; explore at your own risk. There are hot showers and flush toilets for guest comfort but require a short walk to access. Campfires are banned but we provide propane cooking and living utensils. Embrace off-grid with minimal cell service and no wifi; instead allow nature to fill you. Although Okanagan nights cool down effectively, we have used science and shade in designing these rooms to dissipate heat. We provide fans and evaporative coolers when needed and offer our guests plenty of ice (provided in an insulated picnic chest) for those delicious summer drinks and storing food during your stay. 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! Also, ask us for an update on when our pool will open (with wifi access)! Some guests want nothing to do and need all day to get it done. Within 10-15 minutes drive you will find dozens of wineries, District Wine Village, Tickleberrries ice cream parlor, golf, shopping, restaurants, Area 27 racing, lakes, etc. We caution you to carefully re-read this description of our unique space; most of our guests are looking to escape the city life, while some love a romantic getaway, but all appreciate nature. For more details search Face Book for Grasslands Oasis near Oliver, BC. Butterfly Cottage is located at our principal residence and we are always around to assist. Many guests enjoy our local, fresh farm produce. Our farm animals usually love attention, treats, and petting. We offer guests transportation on our ATV and provide a walkie-talkie for communication.

Camping near Penticton guide

Overview

At the center of the Okanagan Valley, which runs more than 150 kilometres north from the US border, Penticton makes a handy base for exploring one of Canada’s largest wine-producing regions. You can go wine-tasting right in the city center and along the Naramata Bench above Lake Okanagan, and drive (or cycle) to dozens more wineries. Swim, paddle, or go boating on the lakes, go biking on nearby rail trails, or just enjoy the sandy beaches. For campers, Okanagan Lake Provincial Park, between Penticton and Summerland, has terraced campgrounds with lake views. You’ll find RV parks on Skaha Lake on Penticton’s south side.

When to go

The Okanagan Valley has some of Canada’s mildest temperatures, drawing visitors from April through October, and even Canadian “snowbirds” who settle in for the winter. Spring is relatively mild, summers are hot, dry, and busy, while the autumn months of September and October, during the grape harvest, are an excellent time to tour this British Columbia region, particularly if you can travel mid-week. Book early for July and August and for fall weekends.

Know before you go

  • Several towns around Penticton, including Summerland, Peachland, Kaleden, and Okanagan Falls, have more options for campers, from family campgrounds to RV parks, many on either Okanagan or Skaha Lake.
  • To buy local produce and interesting prepared foods, visit Penticton’s excellent farmer’s market, which operates on Saturdays on the town’s main street.
  • Kelowna is the only Okanagan city with an extensive transit system. While central Penticton is compact and walkable, it’s easiest to explore the area by car or bike. Consider renting an e-bike if you’re heading to hilly Naramata.
  • For a unique wine-tasting adventure, book a wine tour by kayak with one of Penticton’s outfitters.
