what to expect

Kekuli Bay Provincial Park is situated on the west side of Kalamalka Lake just outside of Vernon. Kekuli Bay is a major destination for boaters in the summer months. In the spring and fall, Kekuli Bay is a perfect destination for RVers to come and relax in the warm sun. The wild rose bushes and sunflowers are in full bloom during the spring months and there is a nature loop where you can walk the surrounding grasslands. All campsites offer spectacular views of Kalamalka Lake. Manicured landscaping offers grassy areas, shade and privacy between sites. Kekuli Bay has become one of the most popular camping destinations in the North Okanagan.
