Camping! Great for fall. Quiet and calm. Showers and facilities super clean. Stayed at similar under same brand in Whistler. This is way better with some trees - lower sites right on water. So clean, they blow your campsite …

Pristinley manicured campground 10min outside the town of Oliver with an upper and lower section. The lower section is on a little lake and often busier. All are wonderfully shaded by pine trees and there is a lovely little pub across the street as well 😁 (The Flealess Hound). Not your cheapest camping but you get what you pay for, and customer service is outstanding! Also worth mentioning: free showers, gas tank exchange program on site, very level and accessible, many with power/sewer, some only power, also offers cabins, just off the highway (so a bit noisy), WiFi can get poor when everyone is on devices, only minutes to District Village (must visit) and as many wineries as you can handle! Book a chauffeur or go with a wine bus, so much to taste

Enjoyed a beautiful 5 days with my son and granddaughter, also his wife. This establishment was clean and comfortable, the neighbors are fantastic. My opinion is that you can't get a better view of the beautiful Canadian country. I would recommend this establishment to my friends and family. Enjoy and have fun.

We stayed at Gallagher Lake | A Parkbridge Camping & RV Resort and really enjoyed it! Everything was peaceful and quiet, with a beautiful lake nearby. The roads inside the campground are paved, and the sites are nice and convenient, although a bit close to each other. The washrooms and showers were clean, and there’s also a laundry. Lots of activities are available, including a playground for kids. The only downside was that overnight some sap dripped from the pine trees onto our car and tent. Other than that, it’s a great place to stay!

Great little lake, very small beach area. Campground is fine. Sites are very close together with very little privacy. No fire pits on sites, propane ones are fine but nice to have a real fire when there is no ban. Strict 11pm curfew for minors, they must be on their site with an adult. My daughter was questioned when she went to the bathroom alone at 12. Enjoyed tennis courts and washrooms were clean and well maintained.
