Other Things to Know

Campfires

We host a central campfire every evening. Small propane fires are permitted at individual campsites, but no ground fires are allowed as they damage the field.

Kids and Dogs

The BC Overland Rally is a kid and dog-friendly event. Please keep an eye on your kids, and ensure they don’t play in areas where vehicles may be moving about. Dogs must be leashed at all times, never left in a locked vehicle, and please pick up any waste.

Water

Please bring your own water for cooking and drinking. If you run short, there is a store 5 minutes away.

Food

We’re excited to welcome Tak-Oh, a local favorite serving tacos and Mexican street food on site. For additional options, Kelowna’s town center is just a short drive away.

Groceries, Supplies, Coffee

The city nearby has all the basics, which are about 15 minutes away.

Electricity

There is no electricity on the field. We recommend solar power or a quiet generator if required.

Toilets

Porta-potties are available throughout the site.

Weather

Late summer in the Okanagan often brings warm days and cool nights. Bring appropriate clothing, sunscreen, and a hat. Good stakes for your awning are highly recommended.

​Insurance

Every attendee, vendor, volunteer, and/or ticket-holder must sign the electronic waiver before entering the field. No exceptions. Arriving without a signed waiver will delay your check-in process, so please complete it ahead of time.

BCOR does not provide coverage for injuries or vehicle breakdowns. Attendees are responsible for their own medical insurance, and all vehicles must be fully insured.

Garbage and Recycling

Please try to pack out what you pack in, especially recycling.

Vehicle Recovery

If you get stuck, there are people around to help, but if your vehicle breaks down, it is your responsibility to get it home.
