Best time to visit Okanagan Lake Provincial Park
Late June through August offers the warmest lake temperatures and reliable sunshine for swimming, paddling, and beach use. The dry, sunny Okanagan climate provides many recreational opportunities from spring through fall. Shoulder months in May, early June, and September bring fewer crowds and easier reservations, though water temperatures are cooler and the park concession may not be operating. Peak summer weekends fill quickly, so RV travelers should book reservable sites well ahead.

Great motorhome for our family of 4. 8 days on the road and we had a blast.

We had a great trip in Osoyoos thanks to Bjorn and his trailer. The trailer is in good condition and comes with a king bed which was an unexpected highlight of the trip. Bjorn was very helpful throughout the booking and delivery process and communicated with us every step of the way. Very happy with our experience and we would absolutely rent from Bjorn again.

How to get to Okanagan Lake Provincial Park
The park sits 11 km north of Summerland on Highway 97, roughly 20 minutes from Penticton and about an hour south of Kelowna. The route along Highway 97 is a paved primary highway with no major tunnels, but RV drivers should expect rolling grades and winding sections through the Okanagan hills, plus highway-side campground entrances that require careful turns. The close proximity of the highway and fencing on the uphill side mean some sites are within earshot of traffic. The nearest airport for fly-and-rent travelers is Kelowna International Airport (YLW), about 70 km north, with Penticton Regional Airport closer for smaller carriers.
