BC Provincial Campsites

Okanagan Campgrounds, British Columbia Provincial Parks

Many people, like us, head out to Okanagan BC Provincial campsites to get away from the hectic pace and noise of everyday life, and there is no better place than right here in our own backyard.

The Okanagan Canada enjoys a mild temperate climate year round, with hot dry summers and very little rain. We can enjoy camping from April through October!

As well, forest fires in British Columbia are a risk in the summer because of the mountains, terrain and dense forest, and in the South Okanagan, the arid desert climate lends to extremely dry summers and increased risk of forest fire hazard. Often there are campfire bans in effect over summer, and hefty fines for burning during these times. Of course camping isn't the same without a campfire, but even when there's a campfire ban on, you can still have a great time watching the stars and listening to nature!!

Camp Ground Regulations & Camping Fees

Some BC provincial campsites and park campgrounds accept reservations, while others operate on a first come, first served basis.

Camping fees for provincial campsites generally range from $10 to $30 per night, for vehicle accessible sites, and $5 per person, per night for backcountry campsites. Vehicle accessible campgrounds typically have fire pits, picnic tables, bathroom facility (flush or pit) and running water, while forestry campsites may have pit toilets, food storage poles or no services at all.
