Osoyoos Lake is a gem, we love visiting here and staying for vacations! Loads of beach areas to lay around or swim in, plenty of parking, and hot, very, very hot in the summer!!

We have always found that this lake is in a unique valley setting, sadly it was smoky or slight haze during our time here. Lot's to see & do during your time here!

I came here to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. This place is just like Surrey. It’s a real dump.

Walking along the lake shore was such a wonderful relaxing and de-stressing experience. It did help, the time of year did help create this tranquility for us. I would seriously recommend a walk along the lake in the off season. It really cleared out my mind of all the "junk" that was there.

We are spending 2 months at a lakeside resort. Waking up every morning with the view of Anarchist Mountain framing Osoyoos Lake? Amazing. We prefer it over an out of country sun destination.

This is a great day trip from anywhere in the Okanagan. There is a wide range of dining options and outdoor and indoor activities available in this little resort town.
I would recommend avoiding visits on Monday and Tuesday in the winter as most retailers and restaurants are closed.

Enjoyed our visit here. Lots of shoreline to explore. One can sit by the waterside, read a book or just day dream.

Osoyoos was definitely not the location I had envisaged. The advertising promotes spectacular wine country with a scenic lake and what you actually get is quite a run down town, grafitti all over the place, super busy traffic filled main street and the lake is packed with speedboats with a few narrow, sad looking beaches for people to cram in to.
I think the town is trying to update its look but the motels and hotels are really grubby and dated which really spoils the look.
We had booked to stay for 5 nights. We checked out after 3 as it was not a relaxing place. Will definitely not return.

Whats the best RV campground (Travel Trailer) closest to Lake Osoyoos? Any spots on the water?

The nicest campground on Osoyoos Lake hands down no contest is the one at Haynes Point! It is just south of the town, access from Highway 97 on south west of lake and if you google Haynes Point you can see all the pictures and how it is on a peninsula right in the lake. Swiws Provincial Park. Reserve through Discover Camping on website. Magnificent! Camping spots available on line now.
What's the weather like in the winter

It's fairly cold, eg. 5- but sunny. Skies are often gray in winter, but awesome spring, summer, fall.
What hotel is closest to the lake?

Sun Beach Motel is right on the water and is one of the only motels with a dock. It is also the only one that faces south. The rest face north onto the lake or to the east.
