The Story of Smoker Road: Smoker Road is a beautiful 5-acre property highlighting some of Boundary Country’s best-kept secrets. Nestled between towering Ponderosa pines, along the West Kettle River - this property offers serene tranquillity with nature right outside your tent. The Petcoff family is tight-knit. They love nature, adventure, and laughter. They acquired Smoker Road in 2017 with the mutual dream of sharing their passions with like-minded people. There are 5 campsites available throughout the property for tent campers: We also have complimentary amenities such as: - toilet amenities - table (upon request) *We have firewood available for purchase. $10/crate that provides enough kindling, starter wood, and logs for a great fire. (bring cash!) Our site manager, Pete, can tell you all about the area, the birds and wildlife. He offers guided hikes upon request for any level beginner to intermediate. Hike rates are by donation. The river is absolutely perfect for a summer dip on a HOT Okanagan day with a secret beach a short walk away. They have created a fun, and safe environment for everyone to feel welcome! Enjoy the breathtaking scenery, while feeling inspired, and at peace. Smoker Road is pet-friendly!

Toilet facilities were a joke

Tent · Group trip ·

Site 2 - Riverfront

This place was over priced and the description was poor. If your toilet facilities are nothing more than a tent that contains a bucket with a plastic bag in it the you should say so. There was no table. We saw no one from the property. The directions to the property were poor. I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone.

Site 5 - Plateau Campsite

What a gorgeous site! Magnificent starry sky and soothing river. Go very slowly on the last few meters of road. We chose the “plateau” site because it’s the only one you can drive into. You need to park and carry gear into the “river” sites. Maybe I missed something but this was unclear to me from the property description and Veronica cleared it up by email. Anyway come here to see a lovely slice of BC!

Site 3 - Riverfront

The campsite was very beautiful by the riverfront. The site was clean and maintained well. The host was very friendly and helpful in carrying out stuff to the campsite. We enjoyed the stay, it was peaceful, quiet and private spot by the river.

Site 2 - Riverfront

We absolutely loved our riverside stay! Our site was beautiful, surrounded by the lush forest and flowing river. Our pups loved enjoying the water while we soaked in the sun. Would 100% recommend Veronica’s property!

Site 2 - Riverfront

Very welcoming hosts! The spot was beautiful. Camping right beside the river and being able to fall asleep and wake up to the river every day was so nice.
