We spent the night in a funky little RV park/campground sandwiched between two more permanent RV parks. Campers and RVs packed together cheek by jowl, crammed into every available spot winding up a steep hill. Although it wasn’t particularly appealing, the hookups worked and we had a quiet night and a lazy morning the next day waiting for the attached water slide park to open. There was a waterfall next to Sandy’s site trickling from the campsites above through a retaining wall of tires. The sound was nice, tho’ one didn’t want to think WHAT was trickling down from above. Osoyoos means “where the water narrows” - - the narrow bit of land between the halves of the lakes was where the Okanagan Salish Indians used to trap salmon swimming up the Okanagan River. The climate is so warm and dry that there is a banana plantation is the area. The water in the lake is the warmest in Canada, which is probably why it is such a popular tourist spot.
