Best in British Columbia: Finalist

Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2023.

Enjoy rural tranquillity in campsites surrounded by old-growth forests and country farms in the beautiful North Okanagan Valley. We are the perfect mid-way point between Vancouver and Banff. Enjoy a warm outdoor shower that is nestled in the trees. The sites are partial hookups with 30amp power and water is available as well as a clean outhouse. We can accommodate vehicles up to 34ft in length and the sites are flat. We are doing our best to improve the sites and the campground as best we can. We are conveniently located just off highway 97a, only a 4-minute drive to Mara Lake Beach, and hiking and quadding trails, or tube down the Shuswap River. Visit local attractions such as wineries, and Farmer Johns Market. At your convenience Marafoodliner store is steps away. 15 minutes to Sicamous. Pitch a tent or pull in with an RV, we welcome everyone, dog friendly but must be on a leash.

Site 3 (tenting site)

We liked the outhouse with a light and all the things you would need inside, and a hand wash station right outside. The outdoor shower was a nice surprise and the campsite is close to everything. Jennifer is very attentive.

Site 6

The campground is quaint and sort of secluded. At the time I stayed I think there were only 12 sites total. Mine had 30 amp power... but that's all. Plenty of well water across from site 6 but no water hook up or sewer, not even a sanidump. The "toilet" is a glorified outhouse and the shower is open air and pay per minute (which we didn't use). The upside... site 6 was ample for our 30ft trailer and truck. We were neighbour's to one other trailer and one fellow in a tent showed up for 1 night. Mara Provincial park is just up the highway and has a great beach for kids and adults alike. Mara Lake was awesome and quite warm in late August. Mara Cottages has no family friendly amenities. IE no pool, playground, nothing. The store adjacent to the campground was quite well stocked and very friendly. I won't stay again, sadly. There's too many other places to park a trailer with way more amenities very near this campground.

Site 7

Excellent location

The spot was in a great location. We were a short drive to Mara Lake and the river. We also enjoyed the convenience of the grocery store being a minute walk from the site. The outdoor shower was handy as well. We would come back!

Site pull thru 8

Great site that fit our 32 foot trailer. Location is handy with the Mara lake general store and the provincial park beach extremely close. Jennifer was a great host and very accommodating. Would come back in the future for sure.
