HighCroft Farm, a 100-acre property located in the mountain ranges above Shuswap Lake, offers a blend of traditional camping and farm-based experiences that cater to both individual travelers and small groups.
Dedicated to natural permaculture and organic production, the farm provides a setting that combines rural charm with practical amenities suited for a variety of camping preferences.
Guests can choose between open fields, woodlands, or one of two cabins. The first cabin offers a “glam camping” experience beside a natural pond and includes an outhouse, while the second features a loft bedroom, full bathroom, and modern conveniences near the farmyard.
Both options provide access to the working farm, which operates on solar energy and emphasizes sustainable living.
The property includes two RV plug-ins located beside the farm’s workshop hall, offering scenic mountain views.
One fully serviced RV site features a concrete base, 30-amp power hookup, pressurized water supply, and a septic connection.
Rates begin at $30 per night for tents and $40 per night for powered RVs, based on two to four people per shelter. The site also accommodates additional vehicle or boat trailer parking.
Groups can rent the MeadowCroft Farm Hall, a multi-purpose facility used for education courses, small events, and indoor camping.
Equipped with a wood-burning stove, electric backup heat, and recreational features such as a ping pong table and piano, the hall provides a social space for campers. The surrounding field can host outdoor games and gatherings, making it a suitable venue for small groups seeking a semi-rural event space within minutes of Shuswap Lake beaches and 20 minutes from Salmon Arm.
Pets are welcome in designated areas, provided they remain leashed and under control. While there are no running-water bathrooms, water is available for non-drinking purposes, and outhouses are provided on-site.
The forest campsite offers privacy and flexibility for tent or RV campers, with a firepit, wood stove, and picnic area.
For professionals in the outdoor hospitality sector, HighCroft Farm illustrates a growing trend in agritourism and small-scale camping operations that blend education, sustainability, and flexible group accommodations.
Its integration of farm-based experiences with traditional and glamping-style stays demonstrates how rural properties can diversify offerings to attract eco-conscious travelers and local event groups.
