Cabins near Summerland

Deep in the British Columbia interior, lakeside Summerland attracts campers with its u-pick orchards, growing amazing apples, pears, peaches, nectarines, plums, and cherries. Set on the shores of the iconic Okanagan Lake, Summerland offers an abundance of RV camping by the lake with full amenities. Enjoy swimming, boating, and beach activities, or fish for Kokanee salmon, a native strain of trophy rainbow trout exclusive to the Okanagan.

19km from Summerland · 3 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging · 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! There is a small cabin and two camp sites to choose from. Site 1 is best suited for tents and small campervans, less than 18' or so (though people with small trailers like tear drop campers have been fine). Site 2 has a much larger flat area that can hold RVs up to 30'. Cabin available for those that want to sleep in a cozy bed and have a warm fire :) Outhouse on the property, which is just a pit toilet. 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.

Chute Lake Lodge

3. Chute Lake Lodge

14km from Summerland · 32 sites · Lodging · Naramata, BC
Make your stay with us unique. We know that everyone has their own ideas when it comes to how they want to travel, where they want to stay and what they want to explore. We are proud to offer a wide range of accommodation options to make your stay just right. The birth of Chute Lake started approximately a century ago. The combined population of Kelowna and Penticton was a mere 7,000, and the First World War was just wrapping up. A bustling new sawmill on the shore of Chute Lake had a crew of hardworking loggers thinking it was time to build themselves a place to sleep and eat. Raw materials certainly wouldn’t be an issue, located in the middle of a forest. The crews worked all day turning trees into logs. Soon enough those logs were being hauled from the mill and up a gentle slope to the proposed location of the new bunkhouse. A few years later, the Kettle Valley Railway would arrive, and the mill and freshly built bunkhouse would take on additional roles. It served as a water stop for the steam engines that pulled the passing trains. Enterprising mill workers would even sell some of the large fish they pulled from the lake to the dining carts. These were the formative years Chute Lake Lodge. Cabins have been added and in the 1980s, the central lodge building nearly doubled in size. The restaurant was added with lodge rooms above. The railway that ran directly in front was converted into one of the best cycling paths in the province.

Where to go

Okanagan Lake Provincial Park

With north and south campgrounds a couple of minutes apart from one another on Highway 97, Okanagan Lake Provincial Park offers panoramic views of the lake surrounded by mountain vistas. Explore the pebbly beaches and ponderosa pine forests, partaking in hiking, canoeing, swimming, and windsurfing. Keep those binoculars ready for spotting western meadowlarks, cedar waxwings, and even the vulnerable Lewis’s woodpecker. The north campground features picnic tables, fire rings, and pit toilets across three terraces overlooking the lake, while the south campground is more densely packed at lake level and not suitable for RV camping.

Sun-Oka Beach Provincial Park

The large, sandy public beach is the main draw here, including many permanent picnic tables on and near the beach and a playground. The name comes from a shortened version of “Sunny Okanagan.” In the summer, the park operator manages and runs a convenient concession stand, perfect for grabbing an ice-cold treat on a hot day at Okanagan Lake. Trout Creek features an easy out-and-back trail and fishing opportunities. Rainbow trout are the most common catch, but Kokanee salmon, brook trout, and Northern pikeminnow are there. Be sure to get a fishing license first. Gates are locked in the off-season from mid-October to mid-April.

Darke Lake Provincial Park

Drive about 30 minutes north of Summerland to Darke Lake where quiet, primitive campgrounds sit among mature Douglas fir and old-growth cottonwood. While the rustic, undesignated campsites are accessible by vehicle, they are not recommended for large RVs. Visitors must bring their own drinking water, as there is no potable water in the park. Trout fishing is allowed, including ice fishing in the winter, and the park is also open to hunting.

When to go

Summer is understandably the peak tourist season for camping near Summerland. Outdoor activities by Okanagan Lake draw large crowds, so reserving a campsite well in advance is a good idea. Summer also sees several festivals and events in the area, including music festivals. For cooler weather and fewer crowds, the shoulder seasons of spring and autumn deliver colorful scenery in the form of cherry blossoms and fall foliage, respectively. Fall harvest festivals are fun for the whole family, as well. Hipcampers willing to brave cold and snowy weather may enjoy snowshoeing and ice fishing in winter.
