Description

In 2022 we returned to Oroville for our "Last Chance Camp-N-Ride" after a hiatus of a couple of years.  It was great to see the border open up and we had a great turnout.  It was also wonderful to reconnect with some of our American friends.  We're returning in 2023 to Osoyoos Lake Veterans Memorial Campground for another go. 

Camping is reserved from Thursday, September 28th to Sunday, October 1st.  The nights get chilly, but we normally have a campfire or two to gather around in the evenings.  This camp has traditionally been well attended by both Canadian and American members and we hope to see some of our American friends again.  It will be nice to go exploring on some of the excellent day rides in the area. 

We have four campsites reserved close to the washroom facilities and each of these sites are powered.  There are good showers on site.  We can have three tents per site or an RV and two tents.  Mixing it up gives us a place to plug the RV in as well as options for for those in tents to recharging their electronics.  Typically, the park isn't too busy so if we get some more people, we should be able to find sites for them. 

Camping prices last year were $10 per tent per night and $20 per RV per night.  This is in US Dollars so if you could bring the correct change, it would be appreciated as the club will be collecting and submitting the fees.  We will update this in the next week or so if it changes. 

We're not sure of the restaurant situation in Oroville but in past years there have been a couple of restaurants within walking distance from the campground.  There is also food and drinks available at Akins Foods, right across the highway. 

If you're riding down from Canada, don't forget your passport for the border crossing.
