This Canadian town on Okanagan Lake is well-located for wine touring, cycling, and water sports.
Roll into Penticton with your campervan and you’ll find over 1,100 spots tailored for van travelers. This corner of the Okanagan delivers lakeside pull-ins, vineyard views, and farm stays—often for less than the cost of a decent dinner (options start at $6, with the average night around $40). Water is easy to come by, most sites welcome pets, and you can usually get a campfire going. Boating, swimming, and whitewater paddling are all close at hand. If you want the local favorites, start with Northyards Cider Co. (180 reviews), Back Forty Vineyards (144 reviews), and Olich Creek Farm (99 reviews). You’ll camp among orchards, along streams, or within walking distance to a swim. Penticton doesn’t make you choose between comfort and scenery—you get both.
