We had high expectations for Wood Lake RV Park, and were excited to go there. The photos online were fabulous, but once we arrived, we were significantly let down. Our site was right off the highway and the traffic noise woke us up every morning. There were ‘no dogs allowed’ signs everywhere including the beach and dock. We didn’t feel very welcomed, given our well behaved dogs are our family. But the worst part though, was the aphids in all the trees. Someone told us the manager had brought about 50,000 ladybugs this spring to eat the aphids and that they each eat about 50 aphids per day. That means about 2.5 million aphids are gone from the RV park every day… so you have to wonder how many were there to begin with, given that it’s still raining aphid excrement. Do a YouTube search. The aphids suck the moisture out of the trees (like a mosquito sucks your blood) and whatever their body doesn’t use becomes excrement and drips onto your RV, your chairs, and of course your body. I made the mistake of looking up to see where this misty rain was coming from and got some in my mouth. When I found out what it was, I was thoroughly disgusted. I climbed up on the roof of the RV and there were aphids covering every mm of the poor tree we were under, millions of them. The staff tried to say that it’s just “water dripping” from the trees, but they pretended the aphids weren’t the problem. When we left, we went to a nearby truck wash to wash the aphids off our RV. We won’t be back.…
Wood Lake RV Park continues to take reservations for October even though they may be closing the season early due to weather. They closed earlier than our reservations in 2021. We made reservations for Oct/2022. We decided to cancel our reservation 2.5 months in advance because they can’t quarantee they will be open and they are still withholding one nights rate from out deposit.
As we loose more and more campgrounds to the development industry, I’d consider this a hidden gem!!! Many lots for your selection as they have utilized every space they can to allow for campers from all over to enjoy the nature in the Okanagan valley!! Amazing staff was the first thing I noticed and then clean bathrooms & showers and laundry to boot!! Many sites have big amazing trees to create shade that is required in the Okanagan heat!! Awesome dog park area that is well kept for our furry friend to play and make friends of their own 🐶 Great front office with small things to purchase that you might have forgot to pack in there front store plus the necessities Ice, firewood and even a fresh water 💦 machine to fill your drinking water jugs!! We have visited many sites and I’ll review a few of them in my next post but for now as a guest I am impressed and would rate this as a 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ RV resort!!!!…
I’m still bummed out about our experience here last summer. Some piece of garbage took out my dry laundry and put it on the floor - could not have been bothered to put it into a basket, I complained so they can check cameras but they did nothing. The sandwich at the shop was made with day old chewy bread and the desserts (some of them) were not enjoyable. Ants on one of the sites got up into our trailer. The beach is small and some people put their stuff out earlier to save spots, some campers at the back stay long term so it’s sketchy. Just not a fan of how things are done here.
This was the first stop on our first ever RV trip, we arrived rather late and the team had left our welcome pack and the check-in cabin for us, it was all very informative and helped us to easily understand everything and what we had to do, our plot was easy to find, reverse in and hook up. We had a very peaceful night and upon waking up loved the look of the area. The staff were incredibly friendly, laundry and toilet facilities clean and tidy, lakes just on the ‘door-step’ / minutes away and were stunning. Shops and fuel were just down the road too, a perfect starter location!
This was a decent RV park but be aware the spaces are very tight. We had a lake front site and our neighbors awning was 4 inched from our trailer. They are serious about hours in the restrooms and showers. You have to be fully self contained if you need services before 8 am or after 8 pm. Cleanliness was top notch. Sites were clean and maintained. Internet was great
People in office were great to use. Everyone wore a mask and you could tell they cared about keeping the place covid free! Lake was calm and we even got an offer for a boat ride! This is by far our favorite RV spot in Kelowna! We spent 3 weeks in Kelowna area and only one park was a disappointment.
Really really disappointed to arrive in 40 degree heat and have absolutely no lake access for dogs - I feel like this place was falsely advertised. It is basically like camping in a parking lot. The small beach for humans is tiny and was not even accessible on our visit due to algae. For nearly $90 a night - what a disappointing experience. If you have pets and expect to keep them cool in the summer avoid this place.
We have been coming to this RV campground for over 30 years!! We have seen many changes from owners, managers and camp improvement. We have always been treated with kindness and respect. Life has definitely been different this past year but Kathy and the team have handled the challenges(which are many and daily) with the guests safety and enjoyment at the forefront. Let’s just say… I would not want Kathy’s job!! Thank you owners and management for continuing to provide a great place to come and bring our family!!
Absolute terrible RV park to deal with. Booked a site on May 13th for four days at the end of June, got notified by our RV dealer today that because of Covid related issues at the manufacturer our new travel trailer has been delayed 1-2 months. Phoned up to cancel the site 5 days after booking and over a month before our reservation dates and they said that there is a $45 cancellation fee. Told them that they never told me that when I booked it on the phone with them and they said that it states it on their website and I should have checked it out. They do not care about people. Very greedy and selfish owners. Only worried about making money and not the customer. AVOID THIS RV PARK!!!!
