The cabin was cute and cozy, with a warm indoor stove to keep the place warm. Lots of space with one mains bed and two small beds up top.
We were there in October and we had the area to ourselves which was great, but it seemed the camping spot and Teepee were quite close to the cabin.

What a fun place to camp, especially if you love cider! Easy check in at the cidery (not sure how checkin works if you arrive after it’s closed). Would definitely come back! Fun camping beside a field of sunflowers! Only draw back is you to hear the hwy but the orchard camping is fab!

Overview
About
Tucked into the hills of the Thompson-Okanagan’s Shuswap region, Adams Lake Provincial Park features rustic camping on a large, deep lake suitable for all kinds of watersports. The park includes three campgrounds, two of which are marine access-only with backcountry walk-in sites, and all of them rural and secluded. Adams Lake is a deep and long lake, excellent for boating, fishing, water-skiing, and windsurfing. The main vehicle-access campground at Bush Creek features forested sites with access to a pleasant, sandy beach area. In fall, the Adams River south of the provincial park is home to the incredible natural spectacle of millions of sockeye salmon returning to spawn in the shallow gravel of the riverbed.
Notable campgrounds
- Best for easy access: The 33 vehicle-accessible campsites at Bush Creek
- Best for lakeside camping: The marine-accessible backcountry campsites at Spillman Beach and Poplar Point further up the lake
Tips for snagging a campsite
- Camping at Adams Lake Provincial Park (Bush Creek) and the two marine-access campsites function on a first-come, first-served basis. Advance reservations are note accepted.
- Be sure to check seasonal opening and closing dates.
When to go
Adams Lake Provincial Park is busiest during July, August, and into September. Boating and fishing on the large lake are very popular, as are watersports such as windsurfing and kayaking.
Know before you go
- The park is subject to high water in May and June.
- Adams Lake Provincial Park doesn’t have wifi, and cell phone service can be spotty.
- Potable water is not available in the park so bring your own drinking water.
