Accommodations
Camping Cabins
Camping… but with walls. Our rustic cabins keep things simple with one double bed, bunk beds, mattresses, a mini fridge, and a firepit outside for your marshmallow-related decisions.
No kitchen. No bathroom. Washrooms are nearby, and you’ll need to bring your own bedding. Just the basics for people who want the camping experience without sleeping directly on the ground.
RV Sites
Full hookup sites for those who bring their home with them. The Trans-Canada access makes Sicamous an easy stop or a full base camp depending on your itinerary.
Tent Sites
Classic camping. The Shuswap the old-fashioned way — just with better amenities nearby.
On-Site Amenities
Outdoor Pool
Open in season. After a day exploring the Shuswap, there's something particularly satisfying about coming back to your own resort's pool. Everyone's in a good mood. Nobody wants to leave.
Mini Train Rides
Yes, there's a mini train. Kids are obsessed. Adults are less resistant than they claim. It loops the property and it's a genuinely good time.
Nordic Sauna
A proper Nordic sauna on-site. Post-lake, post-hike, post-long drive — the sauna fixes it. The Nordic experience takes it up a level from a standard steam room.
Billiards Room
Evening entertainment covered. Billiards at the resort when the sun goes down.
Ice Cream of course
The dangerous one. It's on-site. It's available. You will visit it daily. No regrets.
Playground
Kids. Sorted.
Waterfall Hikes
Here's the thing people don't always expect: waterfall hikes right from the resort.
The Malakwa area has trail access to waterfall hikes in the surrounding mountains. You don't need to drive somewhere to find something scenic. Walk out and find it.
9 Minutes to Mara Lake & the Shuswap
This is the big one.
The resort is 9 minutes from Shuswap & Mara Lake — which means you're staying somewhere comfortable while everything the Shuswap has to offer is basically next door.
Sicamous — BC's Houseboat Capital
