X2 on the Okanagan. It is a must see and really doesn't add significantly to your distance. Kelowna is a wonderful city and plan to spend a day or two on the waterfront area. They have many festivals throughout the summer and if you fit one in it would be worth it.
An hour south is Penticton. It is a fun city in summer with its own vibe. There are a couple of campgrounds right on the lake near the airport. When there plan to visit the Naramata Bench if you like wine. Every driveway is a vineyard and the tasting is free for the most part and many have great kitchens. Have a sober driver or grab a seat on an organized tour ($$)
Naramata Bench is a special place, views, fresh air, gardens, vineyards. You won't want to leave. If you have the time add the entire aera to your agenda.
