We stayed for a month. Aaron was very accommodating and helpful. We enjoyed the campground and lake. We will definitely be back next summer.
I come here all the time! The owner is amazing and so accommodating! The rooms are spacious and clean. Tent camping is nice and shady. The dog beach is big and I spend most of my time there with my lab. I recommend this place to everyone and send all my friends and family to sky blue waters! I have always had an amazing time!!
This place is great.. yes cars are passing right between the campsite and lake and it can get a bit loud! But overall we were blessed to have had a site to stay for 5days! Tons of Beaches are close by, gas stations and Salmon Arm town is about 10-15 min away! Lori caretaker is amazing, very kind and friendly. Spacing is great too due to the COVID-19. They only rent out every other space!
Great campsite. Just far enough away from the highway and train that you barely hear them. Owner was friendly and helpful. The road between the site and the beach was not too busy or loud and did not factor into our enjoyment at all.
We really enjoyed our stay even if it was for just one night! I asked for a spot closest to the lake and we got just that! Aaron was super accommodating and friendly. There’s a dock and the water was great. Bathrooms were clean and everyone else staying there was very nice too! Our car battery died and a neighbour boosted it for us also so we very much enjoyed our stay and were lucky with such great people surrounding us!
The owner is super friendly, and made the place better with her awesomeness. We stayed in a tent at the end of the property because the closest park was full. The camping area is a fire ring and some picnic tables but it worked. It's across from the lake and has beach access. There were also some osprey nearby that were nesting near the camp.
Nice tent site for cheap on the lake, a lot less busy than some of the more expensive places. Very quaint and quiet. Part of the beach is dog friendly.
Great water view campground. The staff was wonderful and extremely accommodating. Perfect spot if you’re running away from mosquitoes in the summer; I virtually found none but bring bug spray just in case. Tent sites are spaced far apart so tons of privacy. Bathrooms/laundry was also very clean 10/10

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
