Nicely shaded with mature trees and a good location. Very clean and well taken care of RV park.
But... We felt like we were being watched. Not a place where you feel welcomed and relaxed.
The managers should not be in the hospitality business. They seem bothered and annoyed by their guests. As other reviews have stated.
We were in a motorhome and had access to a car while we were there. They did not have parking for us in the park which was no problem but when we drove the car in to drop off groceries, literally two minutes, the manager confronted us and said that the vehicle was unregistered

We were camping at a nearby campground in the extreme heat (Wright's - don't stay there!) and they did not have enough power to run our air conditioning. Luckily, Oxbow was very accommodating and able to fit us in last minute. The owners are so nice, they really care about the customers and the sites there. There was way more space than our previous campsite and the power worked great! It was quiet, easy access to the beach, safe. We loved it and will definitely stay here again and recommend to anyone!

Unfortunately we did not have the best experience with this campground. We were booked for two weeks with two other family’s. All of our sites were very small, with loud road noise and a very small picnic table for our family. Upon arrival the manager was rude every time we talked to him. He is a micromanager and feels the need to back everyone into their stalls. Myself and all of our neighbours were annoyed about this as we did not need someone to be rude, talk down to us and back us into our stalls. All he needed to do was to explain where he wanted us. When we asked for change we were told

We wanted to escape the heat wave and made a spontaneous decision to visit Penticton. We were worried that we wouldn't find any tent camping sites and decided to try Oxbow RV Resort. We were a "walk-in" and the management was friendly and was able to accomodate us (2 adults + 2 young children).
It is clear that the campground is well taken care of, and the bathrooms are very clean. The trees that line the sites give shade which is perfect during the hot weather. We appreciated the wooden fences that separate since they provide privacy. Overall, we were extremely pleased because we had a quiet

Managed to get a 4 night stay at a moments notice but did need to move after 2 nights due a site being reserved which was no problem. The owners Pat and Jim were very accommodating and tried to get us onto a nicer pad when we asked about it.
Nice place, lots of ducks there and so close to the sandy beach. Be careful with your stuff outside at night as 2 bikes (not ours) were stolen the last night we were there. We will be back.

Loved it! Quiet and well-run, although some of the picnic tables could use replacing or refinishing. Most of the sites have trees for shade, which can be hard to find in Penticton.
I got the impression that the caretakers or whatever they are don't suffer fools gladly, but this was not an issue for us. They were helpful and friendly. I would definitely stay there again.

Owner should not be in the hospitality business. He has no understanding of what being hospitable means!
He is unreasonable and verbally abuse us for putting up a child's tent (not for them to sleep in, for them to play in and watch TV) next to our RV.
Endless rules and constant reminders that they need to be followed. Our every move was met with scorn.
I would strongly suggest if you want a relaxing vacation, DO NOT stay at Oxbow RV Resort. However, should you want to be watched like a hawk, screamed at and abused, this is the place for you.
Service was non-existent. What we expected to be

We stayed here for 8 nights earlier this month. The person who greeted us was friendly and helpful, and showed us our spot. He helped me park our 30' trailer perfectly in the site and showed us the laundry, showers, bathrooms, and so on. Pat, the lady who handles the reservations was similarly helpful - when taking payment, she told us all about the Kids' Day at PeachFest happening that weekend. There are a few rules to follow, but no one ever yelled at us or caused us any concern. We were politely asked to use our propane fire pit on the concrete patio instead of the gravel or green grass, and
