What To Expect

1. Shade Trees
Camp under the spacious shade canopy provided by one or more of our 80 different species of trees.  

2. Creekside Commons building
Our beautiful, centrally-located Creekside Commons building is available for campers to prepare and eat meals. This covered, open-air building (see pictures below) provides shared space for food storage in fridges and freezers and has two full-size stoves with ovens plus sinks with running water for washing dishes. (bring your own dishes and pots/pans)

Creekside Commons also has a large outdoor eating area with picnic tables. When needed, it provides shelter from the sun or occasional rain shower. This building encourages people to gather together for mealtimes, to meet other campers and develop community, and to share experiences at the Centre.

Our famous summer potluck dinners are held in Creekside Commons with all participants on-site welcome to attend when these are scheduled. The Commons building is used for entertainment that may be offered in the summer by guests or weekly participants.

3. Campground Operators
Our Campground Operators live in the campgrounds to welcome campers and other participants to Naramata Centre, help with orientation and questions, and provide security on site.

4. WiFi is generally available in Creekside Commons.
