Any suggestions on a good place to take my lady friend and new puppy for a weekend of camping -?
The ideal spot would have lake fishing, quiet, some trails and be within a three hour drive of Abbotsford. We will be in a tent.
THANKS

Kentucky Alleyne. About a half hour past Merritt. Just off the Okanagan Connector near Aspen Grove.

Maybe try Dairy or Domanic, they're both off the Lac Le June exit on the Coq.

is there camping at domanic lake? i was looking at buying a cabin on that lake but they're a little out of my price range right now. its a very nice place and i would like to camp there if there's camp grounds.,

Natebavis is exaggerating. sfire436 tells me that he caught all those fish.
