Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2023.
Welcome to Lakeside+ Lakeview Forested Camping! We are located in Lake Country, BC, with plenty of beautiful wineries nearby and very close to the beautiful Okanagan Lake. Our campsites are a short walk (200m) down to Wood Lake and the Okanagan Rail Trail, a local and tourists' favourite for cycling and walks around the lake, or for touring all the way to Vernon or Kelowna. You can rent E-Bikes or boats for extra excitement. The property is part of a 10-acre cherry orchard. Find farm stands and charming restaurants and some world-class wineries in the area.  We have two tent sites to choose from: - Site 1 boasts a large deck for pitching your tent and enjoying the sacred spot under the eagle's nests (requires a 4WD vehicle to access)  - Site 2 has lake views from a creekside forested spot. You need a very dependable 4wd to drive directly to site 2 as there is a steep 40m of a dirt drive.

Site 1 - Lakeside+ Lakeview Forested Camping
Beautiful piece of paradise!
Very beautiful spot. They just put in solar heated tubs and one has a shower. We LOVED soaking with a view of the lake. Definitely need at least an SUV to get to site 1 and a truck to site 2. Outhouse between the two sites and a dock for river access at the bottom of the hill. One thing to note is that our 6 man tent was just a tad too big for the deck. Would recommend 5 person and smaller.

Site 2 4wd access or walk in!
Loved it!
This site is great if you love adventure and off the beaten path camping! I loved camping here. There is water piped down to each site and an outhouse between the two sites, as well as one below on the trail at the lake. It's definitely steep, walking down or driving in and and out, but if that's your jam and having a private dock to dive off or paddleboard from, this is an awesome private site with a super neat natural rock wall with lots of wildflowers and hummingbirds. I read a bunch of the reviews before I booked it and you have to be super sensitive to the planes' flight path for it to bother you. I will definitely book here again if I'm in the area!

Terrible experience
We tried to cancel our reservation due to the wildfires in Kelowna and they never canceled our reservation even though it was supposed to be free. Terrible experience.

Camping with a lake valley view!
We absolutely loved our stay here. The outdoor bathtubs/shower was such a great touch, and there's comfy seating to look out at the amazing view. You can also walk down to the dock which is lovely. It's rustic and so quiet. Yes there are boats going by and the occasional plane but it's very private. I hope we can one day come back again for sure! Things to be aware of: There's little shelter, it's not in the trees, so if you're spending a lot of time there during the day it could get pretty hot (night time and morning is perfect though). There's no "washroom", but there is porta pottie! The slope going down/coming up is pretty steep, but our compact SUV/ crossover got up/down with ease (we do have AWD). I don't think you should attempt this with a sedan or 2WD.

Me and my boyfriend had a great night here! we took our off road SUV down with a roof top tent, and did just fine! Pros: -it’s lake front with a fantastic view! -it’s extremely private -clean running water -working showers Cons: -tricky to find the entrance -rough terrain -have to hike down/up a hill to get to the lake -lack of shade All in all we had a great time! But definitely require an 4x4 vehicle with the right tires especially to get to the second site. AWD low to the ground vehicles might be pushing it, but probably doable! Our lifted off road SUV did just fine. That being said there’s no way you could get a regular car down or back up as it’s a fairly steep decline/hill. Requiring a AWD or 4X4 is a mild understatement, they should be more detailed about the terrain Other than that, I highly recommend if you’re passing through!
