Interactive Map
Planning Tips
There are more than 800 individual campsites in parks near the lake. If you prefer to stay further north or south, see the interactive campgrounds map.
Kelowna is the largest and most central municipality for service and entertainment options. Penticton, at the southern tip of Okanagan Lake, is another good option.
Highlights
The Okanagan Valley is probably best known for Okanagan Lake and for the wines that originate from this part of British Columbia. It is the second largest wine producing region in Canada and, while an important part of the valley’s appeal, it is not the only reason to visit.
Okanagan Lake extends 84 miles (135 km) north to south through the valley. The combination of the lake and the surrounding mountains lends a level of alpine beauty to the valley. As a result, it has long been one of the provinces primary tourist destinations. Hiking in the surrounding hills, boating on the lake or even enjoying the sun on one of the local beaches are just a few of the activities the valley offers.
