☀️ A Quiet Mountain Escape Above the Okanagan Off-Grid Trailer • 180° Panoramic Views Please note: guests must bring their own bedding (sleeping bags, blankets, and pillows) and towels. This is a place to step away from the chaos of this world. This private 12-acre property gives you the space to breathe again. No neighbors, no traffic, no noise. Just fresh mountain air, wide-open views, and the kind of quiet that’s getting harder to find these days. Time moves slower up here, in a good way. Mornings are peaceful with coffee in the sun and a view that stretches for many miles. Afternoons are perfect for reading, relaxing, or exploring. At night the stars come out in full force, with no city lights anywhere around. Its a sight to see You’re way up the mountain here, but still close enough to enjoy the lake. A beautiful public beach on Okanagan Lake is about a 15-minute drive down the mountain, so you can easily spend part of the day swimming or relaxing by the water before coming back up to your quiet retreat. This isn’t crowded camping. It’s your own piece of the mountain. What’s On Site • 32-ft off-grid trailer with A/C, heat, and a full kitchen • 10x14 gazebo with lights and seating • A nice soaking platform with twin soaker tanks (prefilled with fresh potable water from the well) • Fire pit with two wooden chairs for sunsets and late-night fires • Wide 180° views over the Okanagan Valley Off-Grid (But Comfortable) Power is supplied by a gas generator that runs the trailer’s electrical essentials — lights, outlets, and kitchen appliances. A full tank typically runs for about 8 hours, depending on usage. The fridge, heater, and other core trailer systems run on propane, so they work quietly and reliably without needing much generator time. You get the feeling of being off-grid without giving up comfort. Why People Love Staying Here • Complete privacy: 12 acres all to yourself • Huge mountain and valley views • Beautiful Okanagan Lake beaches just 15 minutes away • Amazing stargazing with zero light pollution • True quiet: the kind you can feel in your chest If you’re looking for a place to slow down, clear your head, and get away from the noise of life for a bit, this is it. Simple, quiet.

☀️ A Quiet Mountain Escape Above the Okanagan Off-Grid Trailer • 180° Panoramic Views Please note: guests must bring their own bedding (sleeping bags, blankets, and pillows) and towels. This is a place to step away from the chaos of this world. This private 12-acre property gives you the space to breathe again. No neighbors, no traffic, no noise. Just fresh mountain air, wide-open views, and the kind of quiet that’s getting harder to find these days. Time moves slower up here, in a good way. Mornings are peaceful with coffee in the sun and a view that stretches for many miles. Afternoons are perfect for reading, relaxing, or exploring. At night the stars come out in full force, with no city lights anywhere around. Its a sight to see You’re way up the mountain here, but still close enough to enjoy the lake. A beautiful public beach on Okanagan Lake is about a 15-minute drive down the mountain, so you can easily spend part of the day swimming or relaxing by the water before coming back up to your quiet retreat. This isn’t crowded camping. It’s your own piece of the mountain. What’s On Site • 32-ft off-grid trailer with A/C, heat, and a full kitchen • 10x14 gazebo with lights and seating • A nice soaking platform with twin soaker tanks (prefilled with fresh potable water from the well) • Fire pit with two wooden chairs for sunsets and late-night fires • Wide 180° views over the Okanagan Valley Off-Grid (But Comfortable) Power is supplied by a gas generator that runs the trailer’s electrical essentials — lights, outlets, and kitchen appliances. A full tank typically runs for about 8 hours, depending on usage. The fridge, heater, and other core trailer systems run on propane, so they work quietly and reliably without needing much generator time. You get the feeling of being off-grid without giving up comfort. Why People Love Staying Here • Complete privacy: 12 acres all to yourself • Huge mountain and valley views • Beautiful Okanagan Lake beaches just 15 minutes away • Amazing stargazing with zero light pollution • True quiet: the kind you can feel in your chest If you’re looking for a place to slow down, clear your head, and get away from the noise of life for a bit, this is it. Simple, quiet.

Salmon Arm camping 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.
