Penticton August Long 2010

Well if your planning to go to Penticton which is one of the most popular spots for this long weekend, Cori lived in Penticton for years and I have been travelling there for some time....Luckily we have a couple contacts for the necessities... so  here are a couple tips to keep your weekend a successful one.....

Campsites :

Wrights Beach Campsite is clean and the owners are pretty laid back.  The prices are fair and the site is a fun place.    

Happy Hour Campground is the party campground and can get pretty wild. With that being said the last few years there has been a lot of theft and many cases of girls being drugged and in some cases taken advantage of. This doesn't include the dozens of unreported incidents. If you stay here it may be a great time for you but just be aware of what your walking into.

Stay away from South Beach Gardens unless your interested in quiet. The owners are sticklers for noise and will not tolerate rif-raf, loud music, alcohol consumption in public areas and worse they will kick you out without a thought and keep deposits....Let's face it if your reading Boozer Newz you do not want to stay here!!!

If your looking for a hotel...good luck!! However there are a couple places you may wanna try.... A family friend runs the PLAZA Motel 1485 MAIN ST and they are not completely booked yet!! Not the Ritz but it has showers and clean beds so if you would like to try them... The girl who runs the hotel is Shirley and her number is (250) 492-8631.
