Your Okanagan Hunting Basecamp

Cabins, chalets and dry camping at the edge of the Monashee backcountry, in Cherryville, BC.

Built for Hunters Who Want More Than a Pull-Off

Gold Panner Campground sits on roughly 190 acres in Cherryville, BC, in the Thompson Okanagan’s Rainforest to Rockies region. It’s east of Vernon and Lumby, on Highway 6 toward the Monashees.
