Reserve this unique venue to host your next event.
Enrich Your Senses
Nestled along the picturesque banks of the Shuswap River, the Quilakwa RV Park and Campground offers a truly unique and immersive experience with its two traditional kekulis available for rent.
Available for both half and full-day rentals, our kekulis offer a distinctive venue for an array of occasions. From school field trips and corporate retreats to wedding receptions and family reunions, these traditional dwellings create an ambiance that is both culturally enriching and memorable. The authentic design and historical significance of the kekulis make them a one-of-a-kind setting, fostering a connection to the past while celebrating the present.
The term "kekuli" refers to a pithouse—a warm winter dwelling built into the ground to shield individuals from the elements. These structures harken back to the rich cultural history of the Splatsin people, providing a fascinating backdrop for a variety of events.
Where Tradition Meets Today
One of the standout features of the Quilakwa RV Park and Campground's kekuli rentals is the opportunity to have Splatsin Knowledge Keepers host events. These knowledgeable individuals can provide an insightful overview of the kekuli structure, sharing its historical context and significance. Attendees have the chance to engage with Splatsin culture directly, asking questions and gaining a deeper understanding of the traditions that have shaped the region for centuries.
Whether surrounded by the vibrant colors of fall foliage, the tranquility of a winter snowfall, or the blossoming beauty of spring and summer, the setting along the Shuswap River provides a stunning backdrop for any event. Guests can immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the surroundings while appreciating the cultural heritage woven into the fabric of the kekuli experience.
Situated within the heart of the Quilakwa RV Park and Campground, the kekulis are available for rent year-round, offering a unique experience regardless of the season.
