Shuswap Lake Provincial Park – Scotch Creek , BC
http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/bcparks/explore/parkpgs/shu_lk/
Growing up in Kamloops, I have been going to Shuswap Lake Provincial Park for years and it has been interesting to see how the area around it has changed. Shuswap Lake Campground is a very large park with 274 sites located on the beautiful Shuswap Lake. The park features paved roads, a playground, interpretive programs, hiking trails, bike trails, a boat launch, and a lake for swimming with a long sandy/pebble beach. The park also includes Copper Island which is only accessible by boat but is a fun day trip and provides activities like hiking and cliff diving. Although the park is large, it is very popular, so you will need to book your stay 3 months in advance in order to get a site. Continue reading

Park Sands Beach Resort – Parksville, BC
What a beach!
Park Sands is located smack dab in the middle of Parksville, BC on the Pacific Ocean’s Georgia Strait. The region calls itself ‘Oceanside’ for a good reason. The beaches are long and sandy and retain the heat of the sun so when the tide rises it warms the water nicely. If you ever want to take children to the beach, then come on over for world class sandcastle making and wading. Continue reading

Bella Pacifica Campground is located just minutes outside of Tofino on Mackenzie Beach. It offers walk-out beach front sites, ocean view sites, as well as forested sites. Tofino is a 3 hour drive from Nanaimo and 5 hours from Victoria, but it is well worth the trip.

Otter Lake Provincial Park – Tulameen, BC
http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/bcparks/explore/parkpgs/otter_lk/
Otter Lake Provincial Park is located about 30 minutes northwest of Princeton and is well marked. It is a paved road but is has lots of twist and turns and when the signs say, “watch for rocks on road” or “no stopping due to falling rocks” they are not kidding. Watch for wildlife too; we have seen deer and bears along the way. Although it is not the greatest road once there it is worth the trip. The lake is pristine clear and the campground is truly a get away.
Too Funny!

Okanagan Lake Provincial Park – Summerland, BC
http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/bcparks/explore/parkpgs/okana_lk/
View from double site 48/49
You’ve got to love the Okanagan in the summer: sun, wineries, lakes. Granted, you don’t get the famous British Columbia mountains and trees, but the weather and warmth are so nice for us Lower Mainlanders. We try to head there at least once every summer. Okanagan Lake Provincial Park is located between Kelowna and Penticton, on the west side of Okanagan Lake… 11 km north of Summerland. This is on the side of the lake that gets shade in the afternoon so that can be both a good thing and bad thing. Continue reading
