Quite loud and crowded. Sites are very close together so there is not much privacy. There were no sewer hook ups or sani dump available so we had to watch our tanks carefully . They will have your RV pumped out for a fee. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Ahh, a wonderful place with warm shallow water. Lots of sun! Drive through the orchard and 2 minutes into town for quaint little shops and family run restaurants. Good prices too! Absolutely my favorite area for camping in BC. Never rains because it's a desert town. You can bring your boat. Onsite they have a Rattle Snake Rescue center where you can walk to, and see live rattlers. I give it a 10! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We stayed at a standard site. Tight but clean and nice. Next time we'll opt for the Premium - double wide and way more private. Probably quieter too. Big campground with lots of people. Pool is only open in "off season". I guess you're supposed to swim in the lake in the summer. A bit weird to have a pool but close it. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We just returned from a 1 week stay at your campground. I must say, I am not one to normally write and complain but this week was awful and I thought I should let you know. We know that we booked fairly last minute and were quite pleased with our site, 118, when we arrived. It was close to the lake and the campground, which was great for us as we have a small son. Soon after arriving we started to smell strong wafts of sewer, only to realize that the main septic dump was right across from us. We tried to make the best of the smell but am disappointment to say, we had to eat most meals inside our motorhome and that my son complained of feeling sick t our stomachs every time he went to the playground so he stopped going. As the weather was not great (not your fault obviously) the lack of playground and lake time left us with a small son very bored and cranky. We then seemed to have some sort of flying ant invasion. Everything on and around our campsite was crawling with infant and flying ants. My husband got bit four times and I was forced to keep my son inside, yet again, as the ants were making it tough to play outside. Thank goodness they only seemed to stick around for a day and half. To top it all off, the last full day of our trip was the worst of all. Again, not your fault, but the wind was almost hurricane force....which would have been bad enough but now we get to listen, see and small the RED SEPTIC truck coming and going all day long. The smell was so strong when he was dumping and the wind was blowing right at us, that again we could not go outside as we were all feeling sick to our stomachs. We counted well over 10 visits and thought he was FINALLY done when the light went on indicating the dump site was full, but NO!!!! You guys just reset the light and on the dumping went. I can not believe that the last dump we heard, that had been keeping us awake as we went to bed early as the smell outside was to horrible, was around 11PM!!! What are you guys thinking? People come to your campground as you state that it is a quiet relaxing retreat! What a crock. I understand that the septic from your Spirit Ridge condos needs to get pumped out and put in the tank near the campground, that gets processed by the city, but do you honestly think it all needs to be done in one day, over a 15 hour period? There were a tons of small kids camping around us, with most of them in tents and tent trailers, who were not able to get away from the horrible smell, expect for leaving for the day...which most of them were forced to do. Plus, most people with kids go to bed early as do the kids. HOw are they supposed to sleep with a darn septic truck parked next to them with the engine going and the lights flashing??? Needless to say, we will never be back nor will I ever recommend your campsite to anyone....I will go above and beyond to ensure people do not come to Nk'mip. I realize that some of the sites would not have been affected by the septic but why should we have to suffer by wanting to be near the playground? We camped here in a Motorhome.
I expected more. The drive in was beautiful with orchards and rock cliff views. Nice landscaping at entry only. The check-in staff was less than warm or caring. Our site was on a busy corner with a big dip into the site making it difficult to unhook and hook up. The whole place was dirt and unlevel. Wind made dust fly everywhere. They say they have cable, but its only available to a few long term sites. Its great for families with kids as kids were everywhere, they left trash about and knocked on our door rather late trying to collect bottles. There seems to be absolutely no staff policing anything. Being on the lake is very nice and the views are nice. We didn't use the restroom or laundry. Wouldn't stay again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Our site was on the waterfront. Nice view of the lake and the town. Site mostly sand and some grass. Power 30 amp only along the lake. The wind off the lake was so strong it rocked our RV. More sheltered sites are in the C section up on the hill. WI-FI connection weak as site some distance from office. Store on site, but closed. Cell phone coverage good. Still best park in town. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is in a nice location, next to Lake Osoyoos. Lake sites are $2.00 premium. Staff is friendly. This is a very large park, and all of the sites appear to be full service. Payment by Canadian money or MC or VISA card. U.S. currency not accepted. Park rules are provided in very small type on the back of the site card provided. We stayed for 2 nights, and would stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Stayed for 2 weeks in fall of 2007... most others are here for the winter... only some of the 320 sites are available after the summer season. The monthly rate is very reasonable @ $325 plus electrical. All the services work well including cable & WiFi which are included in the price. Sites are quite large & most rigs would not have a problem with either width or lengh. Only downside was the lack of exercise equipment therefore we did a lot of walking. Also, there is a winery on-site. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very nice park in a great location. There are some beautiful waterfront sites here, wifi throughout the park and all the sites are large and well positioned. We highly recommend this park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
