I've driven south from Jasper a couple of times.
First we stayed at Mt Robson PP, and drove the whole way to Vancouver in one (long) day. We had lunch in Kamloops.
Second we also stayed at Mt Robson, but took our time getting going, and ended up with a lunch stop near Valemount. We then spent 2 nights in Wells Gray. On the way out we did laundry in Clearwater, and camped behind a motel (Duck Lake).
There is a Prov Park near Clearwater, N Thompson River, that should be convenient for camping. Paul Lake PP is much closer to Kamloops (and probably cooler). Kamloops itself is in a hot dry valley. Lac le Jeune is a large PP off of 5 south of Kamloops. There are other parks on the Merritt plateau.
On that 2nd trip I stayed on 5A, and ended up camping at a small road side PP near Princeton, and the next day drove the Fraser valley and Harrison Hot Springs.
