Whitewater Mountain Resort

With the recent spread of wildfires in the Okanagan and the State of Provincial Emergency, Whitewater wants to do its part to support those affected.

The Hummingbird Lodge & Campground has opened its available tenting and RV campsites to wildfire evacuees for the duration of their evacuation order.

We hope this can help ease some of the stress for a few of the many people who have been displaced across our province. A heartfelt thank you to the firefighters, emergency personnel, volunteers, and everyone working tirelessly to keep our communities safe during this challenging wildfire season.

If you have been displaced by wildfires in BC and are looking for a place to stay, please call us at (250) 352-6954 to reserve an available Forest or RV campsite free of charge.

Stay safe, BC. We’re thinking of everyone affected and hoping for calmer days ahead.

No registration is necessary; just come up to the hill anytime between 7am and 5pm, hike one lap or as many as you’d like, then stick around for the BBQ, DJs, silent auction, and an afternoon celebrating Alex’s legacy while supporting the lifesaving work of KERPA.
