Went to the Provincial Park on the south end of the lake and had a very nice and peaceful afternoon on the beach. There are plenty of Tables and one can bring the food with them and enjoy the beach. It was a perfect day sunny no wind and actually not to many people. Water was still ok and not to cold.

This place is honestly beautiful but there’s not much of a night life and I’m not talking about clubs or anything but if you come here and get in late you better hope your not hungry or anything because everything closes 8-9pm and you’ll be in for a trip to grand forks to eat.
You can’t trust any of the businesses hours posted online because it seems like they’ll close whenever they feel like it, and unfortunately because it’s a small town that has no real business competition they get away with it and as a person coming from a small town I understand that’s exactly how it works, but it’s not right when your a tourist destination.
Honestly I don’t know if I’ll want to come back I’m here for a few more days and I’m hoping that will change but I don’t see my sentiment changing.

We’ve been here a few times, camped in the campground and also rented a cabin- both amazing and would go again for sure. Great for the family and close to the lake, large camp sites and large yards at the cabins.

This is a beautiful lake for everyone to see and enjoy! Easy access plus there are a few local stores for stopping at to pick up and supplies.

We have visited 3 summers now staying in a relatives holiday cabin and it is still adored by the whole family. A stunning location; the lake has clear waters, mountains and peaceful wilderness all around it. There are plenty of activities to enjoy over summer months - swimming, kayaking, speedboats, watersports, hiking, camp fires, and much more. A truely Canadian experience!

Yes the restrictions are only for Provincial campsites, But be aware of prejudice of outsiders during this pandemic!

I am thinking of visiting Christina Lake in May. I have been there before in the summer but would like to know what the weather is like in May and if it would be warm to swim in the lake. I am hoping for warm, spring sunshine.

Thinking about heading up for a quiet getaway. Any suggestions on what time of year to go where the weather would be good enough for swimming and hiking, but not so crowded?

Hi there.
I would suggest June to early September as being the best time and Christiana Lake public beach is always nice.

What place would you camp in for 7 days? Last week of July! Provincial Park, no hookups or Beverly Hills, smaller campground but not right on the water?
We have a hybrid trailer and are bringing our dogs, bikes and paddle boards.
We plan on doing lots of water,m biking and hiking things while there but there will be times we would like to leave the dogs behind and wonder if we would need air conditioning for them.
Love the idea of being right on the water, however, having full services is also a great factor.

I prefer the provincial camp ground if you like it a little more rustic. They do have showers and good washroom facilities.
You will need to be on the ball to a get a placed booked here.
The beach is just a short walk from the nearest campsites. There are plenty of trees so you do have shade on hot days.
Hi there,
I like to know if there is cell service at Christine Lake?

In town, yes for sure. In the mountain passes, not so much.

We would like to knkow if there is a group campground for August 21, 2015.
I am planning on camping at North or South Okanagan Lake Campground (10 days) and am thinking of bringing a boat. I understand there's a boat launch at the South Campground. My questions is, I will be hauling the boat with my motorhome, once I unload the boat in the water, are there any spots to have it parked overnight? Once I set up the motorhome, it would be a pain to drag the boat out of the water on daily basis. Any help would be appreciated.

I would like to reserve 4 campsites for a week in July. We have all ages in our group. What campsite would you recommend, walking access to the beach would be good. Thanks for your help. Never camped at Christina Lake before.

Hi Joanne, most campgrounds are within a couple blocks of the beach. Many have full RV hookups and others none - best to check if you need them. Gladstone Provincial Park is on the edge of town but is closest to the park's many hiking trails and its beach. Any of the accommodators on and around Kingsley Rd. are central to restaurants and the grocery store. The two near West Lake Dr. are closest to the big beach on the south end. But if golf is your passion then you can check out the RV sites adjacent to the golf club.
