Kamloops?

Looking for a campground recommendation around Kamloops, thanks! (just a nice, clean spot for a single night on the way to Vancouver)
  • If you need hookups I would recommend Knutsford if you are looking for a nice forestry campsite no hookups Paska lake
  • Kamloops RV Park is on the east side of the city about 15 minutes .

    It is adjacent to the BC Wildlife park on the left of the hiway coming from the east. You may wish to call them for a reservation as every time I drive by there it appears to be quite busy.
    there is also Sagebrush rv park on the north side of the river near to down town.
    I would suggest try the Kamloops RV park first.
  • Lac Le Jeune Provincial Park is about 25 miles south of Kamloops, no hookups though.
  • You may have already been, but the Steelhead Provincial Park at the West End of Kamloops Lake at Savona is a beautiful small campground.

    If it just off the Trans Canada Highway, so not good if you plan to take the Coquihalla.
  • Kamloops RV Park, full hookups, narrow sites, trains and highway noise.
    Knutsford RV Park, only a few 50 amp site, weak WIFI, MICE,
    Sagebrush RV Park, no sewer....use the dump

    Unfortunately Kamloops needs a GOOD park.
    Maybe with the up and coming casino this will happen.

    Costco is too small for RV parking and Walmart does not allow overnighting.
  • If you can drive to Merritt. There is a RV Park there that we have used a couple of times. Clay banks RV Park. It is very nice and it is close to town.
  • There are two great provincial campsites west of Kamloops on the road to Cache Creek.
    Both have water and power and a sewer dump station.
  • The provincial cg's have fairly small sites.
    We have a 40 foot MH and found only a couple of site in total between the two cgs.
    Provincial parks in BC have very limited length.
  • Thanks everyone, I think we will be staying in salmon arm on the way out, and at lac le jeune on the way back.
