More On Camping In BC Okanagan Valley

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!!
