Echo Lake Resort, est. 1943 presents Pioneer Nights an immersive, storytelling experience exploring our founding family’s history & our camping and fishing heritage.

We believe the best way to experience the Resort’s rich legacy and breathtaking scenery is by choosing your own adventure at your own pace. Let our road map guide the way! Discover hidden natural wonders of the North Okanagan, savor the best eats and treats from our charming nearby towns, and immerse yourself in museum-quality local history dating back to the late 1800s.

Chances are, you’re escaping the everyday routine, looking to meander down less travelled roads, seeking unexpected authentic, imaginative adventures to share with your family. Pioneer Nights asks you to travel back in time with us, to ask yourself ‘why do we camp?’, and to deeply connect to nature and each other.
