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.

Boulder Mountain was great. Loved the hot tub and morning coffee. A very dog friendly place. However reserving them via Hipcamp was not great. They had not even noticed that there was a Hipcamp reservation request. Luckily they still had a spot for us.

Perfect place for an overnight while travelling through for our needs. Friendly welcome, nice atmosphere. There is some road/ train noise but that is to be expected so close to the highway. We really enjoyed it for a quick and easy stopover on our way through from Sk. to Vancouver. Thanks!

It's a nice spot to stay with friendly hosts and wide open views of the surrounding hills. You'll be in a grassy fenced in area with no amenities too far away.
NOTE: Double check the destination if tapping directly from the Hipcamp app to Google Maps because the first place it sent us was down the wrong road. We had to type in the actual address, then we got there okay.

Excellent camp spot close to the lake! Farm setting is so relaxing and the dog loved the big fenced yard to roam and play fetch. Wes was a gracious host and even helped direct the RV into the site.

Wes and Maeghan's property is very beautiful, spaceish, and has everything you need for a comfortable camping trip - hot water shower, fire pit, laundry, etc. They were great hosts and communicators, and we felt very welcomed :). 10/10 would recommend.

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 are long time campers but Grandview Acres was our first time as "hipcampers" and it was great. The property was pretty, close to Kamloops, but far enough to be very quiet. The directions were perfect, good fast response and we had a nice conversation with Rick and Ada who were very friendly. They also graciously accommodated our request to shut off the string of solar lights along the fence where we pitched our tent so we could see stars and not have lights shining on us all night. There is a metal firepit so even though there was a burn ban other campers had a camp fire. We were visited by a young buck in the morning, on the other side of the fence. As other reviewers mentioned, having only one washroom was a slight problem. Another minor problem was the water spigot which was a little hard to turn and sprayed you if you stood in front of it. We will happily stay there again if we return to the area.

This was a great one-night stop for us in the middle of a longer trip. It’s an open field, so no privacy, but the toilet and sink were great and the views are lovely. We would definitely stay here again.

We loved tent camping on Rick's land. It was beautiful and private under the stars. We were felt safe and the bathroom and showers were only a short walk away. Rick made sure we were taken care of with ice and firewood. We would stay again.

The best luxury RV camping near Salmon Arm guide
When to go
Summer is peak season in Salmon Arm and the Shuswap region when families flock to the beaches and campgrounds around Shuswap Lake. As in many parts of Canada, fall is a good alternative, with mild weather into October. Spring weather is more variable, and from November through February, temperatures frequently drop below freezing, and snow is possible. You need winter tires or chains to drive the Trans-Canada Highway between October and March.
Know before you go
- While you can find big-box stores along the Trans-Canada Highway, detour into downtown Salmon Arm for more local shops and eateries. West of town, stop into family-run Grass Root Dairies, which makes several varieties of gouda cheese.
- Another good place to pick up fresh produce and other food supplies is Salmon Arm’s all-organic Farmers Market. It runs every Wednesday from May through October and every second Wednesday November through April.
- To stay on the water, find a Salmon Area houseboat rental and cruise on Shuswap Lake.
