Hidden gem in the cedar trees. We stayed for 5 nights and enjoyed every minute of our trip. The staff are friendly and the owners are always around. They often drove by just to say hi and check in on us; delivering firewood, assisting guests set up water and power. The roads through the campground are a bit tight for larger campers but doable if u take your time. Showers are clean with onsite laundry making it convenient for us. The only thing we encountered that an issue was little to no heat in the bathroom's. It’s rather chilly on a fall day when showering. Overall we loved our choice to stay here and would recommend to anyone. We will return in the spring. Thanks for a great experience. 😊😊😊😊

Great little campground with nice amenities. Situated in a nice spot next to a nice little hike to a creek with some small falls. It's outside of town enough that you are enjoying the beauty of the heavily treed area, yet can get to town for the groceries and other activities you might want to do. The owners were friendly and took great care of the property and the guests. We will definitely go back again.

Beautiful park - friendly staff! We stayed in site 26. More than big enough for our 30 ft travel trailer. The campsites are nestled in the forest. We hiked down to TX falls. Glad we did. It’s a gorgeous little spot and well with the effort to get there. Definitely would stay there again.

Where do I begin with Cedar Falls Campground, It truly is one of the best places on earth. From the very kind residents that live in the park, to the breathtaking nature surrounding you, but mostly for the hard-working family that run it. Sebastian and his wife go well out of their way to make this place magical and peaceful for their guests. It’s even more magical at night, when the camp fires start and the fairy lights turn on. They keep the campground very well-maintained with daily work and maintenance. The campground is locked up at night with a gate and It is their top priority to keep everyone safe and sound. With one of the most beautiful waterfalls, you can see in the North Okanagan, only a 10 minute walk away, you will truly have an unforgettable experience at Cedar Falls Campground. There really is no other campground like this!! 🏕️ 🌲 10/10 Thank you to Seb and his family, Love Liz and Rose 🌹

I struggled with this review until I landed on two stars. I was going to offer 3 until I actually drive off my site when I left...it was so tight, I almost couldn't get out of my spot. Our neighbours had to move their car and it was still nearly impossible to get out with my short box truck and 29' trailer. This is NOT a good campground for larger trailers! First, I have to say the staff were friendly and accommodating so no issues there...even though it was amusing to see them blaming things on each other (I think they are mother and son-in-law?). The biggest issue is space and access. Our pullout was only about 2' from our neighbours. There are a ton of rules and policies, like not having fires after 11:00 PM...and they didn't deliver our wood until I asked about it again the next day. Their showers are coin operated, so that is an issue...used my trailer instead. The access road Google Maps sent us on was horrible for a large trailer! I found a better route later but be aware of the roads you might be sent towards. The campground is set on a steep hill. There is a path from the campground to the falls very close by...that was the best part of the campground...but it wasn't in the campground. The vibe of the place is like a small trailer court and is handy if you have to camp near Vernon, but it is not communing with nature in any way! Is it a destination campground? Definitely not...simply convenient. Not at all what I expected from the pictures and the name. But it served our purpose for two nights. I wouldn't want to stay any longer. Reply to reply... I think ANY coin operated showers are a bad idea. You did NOT deliver the wood until I came back the next day and asked for it...and then admonished me for not coming back sooner and reminding you earlier. Now you admonish me for not asking for another site. These are not my issues. The review stands for the experience I had. It isn't unfair, it isn't rude...it is just fact and a summary of my opinion. It isn't like I'm paid to give a negative review. ;)
