From The Campground

The Klinker Opal Property is located in the mountains approximately 40 kilometres by road from Vernon, BC, and is situated at an elevation of about 1500 metres above sea level. All trips to the Klinker Opal Mine leave from a pre-designate site, and you must have your own vehicle. No transportation is provided. Pre-registration is required! Digging trips operate from mid June to mid September weather permitting. The property is readily accessible by most two wheel drive vehicles but parts of the road is very rough. SUV's are best, but any vehicle with reasonable ground clearance will do. There are some 20 kilometres of gravel/dirt logging road to travel and portions of this road are quite steep and rough. Learn more about this land: Welcome to Klinker Opal Mine! We are located in the mountains approximately 40 kilometres by road from Vernon, BC, and situated at an elevation of about 1500 meters above sea level. It takes about 1 hour to access from the meeting location (which will be provided upon booking). Discovered on Thanksgiving Day October 14, 1991, the Klinker deposit is the first commercially operated precious opal deposit in Canada. After digging for opal and agate during the day, set up your campsite, prepare your evening meal, and go for a hike to check out the beautiful views and wildflowers until the sun goes down. Don’t forget to bring your camera! Due to rugged road conditions, your vehicle must have good tires, be reliable and have good road clearance - SUV or Pick-Up, NO Trailers. Some restrictions on size and weight of Vans and truck-mounted campers due to steep grade (return trip is downhill all the way) and limited height clearance. We offer dry camping only and have two campsites to choose from for tents and camper vans! Please make sure to bring your own water and take away your own garbage. Limited outhouse-latrine facilities. Limited small campfires are allowed in approved locations only (possible fire bans). Lights out/quiet time at 10 pm! We look forward to hosting you!
