We did the same route on our way to Alaska. We stayed at River Oaks RV Park in Oroville so we could cross into Canada early in the morning. Great park on the river in a tiny town. And we loved the Okanagan Valley so much that we are planning to go back there and stay much longer.
However, we would never go back to the Kamloops RV Park again as it was of the worst places we stayed on the entire 3-month trip. Too crowded with long-term residents and extremely noisy from both the Trans-Canada Highway and the railroad. They also put us in a very tight space that was too short for our truck and trailer. But, like you, we were traveling without reservations and took what we could get (for one night only).
And, if you are going all the way up to the Yellowhead Highway on CA Route 97 and then over to the Cassiar Highway, we highly recommend the little city-owned campground in Burns Lake, BC. Free, quiet, tree-shaded campground on the lakeshore; water and a free sanidump two blocks away; free WiFi at several nearby fast-food places; and reasonably-priced fuel. Can't beat it at twice the price!
