Nicely shaded with mature trees and a good location. Very clean and well taken care of RV park.
But... We felt like we were being watched. Not a place where you feel welcomed and relaxed. The managers should not be in the hospitality business. They seem bothered and annoyed by their guests. As other reviews have stated. We were in a motorhome and had access to a car while we were there. They did not have parking for us in the park which was no problem but when we drove the car in to drop off groceries, literally two minutes, the manager confronted us and said that the vehicle was unregistered

We were camping at a nearby campground in the extreme heat (Wright's - don't stay there!) and they did not have enough power to run our air conditioning. Luckily, Oxbow was very accommodating and able to fit us in last minute. The owners are so nice, they really care about the customers and the sites there. There was way more space than our previous campsite and the power worked great! It was quiet, easy access to the beach, safe. We loved it and will definitely stay here again and recommend to anyone!

Unfortunately we did not have the best experience with this campground. We were booked for two weeks with two other familys. All of our sites were very small, with loud road noise and a very small picnic table for our family. Upon arrival the manager was rude every time we talked to him. He is a micromanager and feels the need to back everyone into their stalls. Myself and all of our neighbours were annoyed about this as we did not need someone to be rude, talk down to us and back us into our stalls. All he needed to do was to explain where he wanted us. When we asked for change we were told

Meh. It's an RV park right in Penticton and across the street from the beach. Its pricing relies heavily on its location. Anywhere else, this campground would be considered pretty run of the mill and aged.
