This is such a cute place and well thought out. I am glad I found it.
The bathroom is so nice to have. Fenced in yard and if we had our dogs with us it would be perfect place to let them roam.

What a little piece of heaven! We needed a quick place to lay our heads on our travels from Tofino to Calgary. It was so refreshing to let the dogs roam around, a nice clean restroom, and the chickens in the morning were a hoot.

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

Very happy with our stay at the Thirsty Farmer! We had it all to ourselves and the space was ample for our dog to enjoy. The hosts were welcoming and generous. Having use of a washroom with shower and laundry AND a bbq was such a total bonus! The kids loved the rope swings and the stargazing was great. Thank you Wesley and Maeghan! We highly recommend for a slightly unique experience.

We liked this place! The sites are spaced out as you would expect in a campground. Great facilities to have shower and flush toilets available just up the hill. We saw one cat briefly and our friendly host came to welcome us in after we were set up. Would definitely recommend.

Weekend Trip to Cuddly Cat Farms
Handful of spots huddled around a circle of open land. Very quiet and great spot for us to land for our first night in BC (from Bellingham). Hike up a dirt road a short bit to the well kept bathrooms with a shower in each. Close to Vernon if you wanted to eat out or check out shops. I would recommend Ginnys place for sure.

Was the perfect last min spot to camp. It's just mins from everywhere I wanted to go. Was next to a very quiet road, I saw more familys out for evening walks than cars all day, I woke to the birds chirping and some cows mooing. There are clean bathroom and showers ( I was so thankful for) available in the gym. Some sites had patio tables/side tables and chairs, they worked for what was needed. Not all the site had them available. Would recommend staying here. Every night as the sun went down like clock work I had a sweet kitty come say good night.

Nice convenient spot to use as a base camp while exploring the Okanagan. Having the washroom facilities is a huge bonus! We spent 3 comfy nights here and would recommend it highly. Be aware there is no shade to be found, but if you plan accordingly and are creative you can rig something up to alleviate the worst of the heat. We were generally away during the heat of the day anyway. The nights were cool and generally bugless with the exception of the pleasant sound of cicadas and crickets to serenade us to sleep. Thanks Ginny!

Great little campground right outside Vernon in a quiet grassy field. Full bathroom a one minute walk up the hill. It was all I needed as a solo camper. Note: there is no shade in the summer, so it’s very hot. I highly recommend this little gem. Oh… and the cats, I only met one, but he was extremely friendly!
