Spokane to 100 milehouse

Where is 100 milehouse? I'm a Spokanite too. Retired from USAF at Fairchild back in 2005. Leaving on March 1st for a month long trip to Mississippi, Texas and back. I have an app on my android that shows all the Walmart's along the route and those that allow overnight RVing. The app is called Walmart ONP if you're interested. It good map (Satellite or Map)view with locations and RVer input from previous stops. There's another one called Rest Stops that works the same as well as RV Dumps. All 3 apps are from "Allstays". Hope this info helps a little.

Walmart in kelowna, Costco in Kamloops,and then just a short drive to 100 mile.

On my trip to Alaska in 2012, I stayed at Goldpan Provincial Park. It's right on Hwy 1 and about 100 mi S of 100 Mile House (love that name). Just beside the hwy, so noisy, but I got used to it. Was $16 then. Here's the location.

Park employee suggested Skihist Prov Pk 12 S on Hwy 1 as quieter place.

Catch some fish,

I live 2.5 hr north of you in BC . From my house to 100 mile is a easy 9 hour drive. Two days will give you plenty of time to site see on your way up. If you plan on spending a night around Vernon it will make for an easy second day trip to 100 mile.

Google Maps suggests US2 east to US97, then north (with detour around Kelowa via Merrit). The 2nd fastest is US395 to the border, 3 and 33 to Vernon.

Halfway appears to be around Kelowna. If you like city store parking lots that's probably the best area to find a place to stay (or Kamloops). But I prefer Provincial Parks, with tent friendly camping spots and after dinner hiking.

I like Kettle Valley PP at the junction of 3 and 33. Haynes Pt in Osoyoos is a premium campground - close spaced sites, but most waterfront. There are also PP between Merritt and Kamloops, plus some cheap (and rough) rec-sites. Logan Lake has a nice town campground on a small lake. North of there is a large PP, Tunkwa Lake. The road doesn't have a prov number, but is decent paved.

BC Okanagan valley is much more settled than Washington's part. It's more like the busy parts of the Columbia River. The Merritt area is an upland with forest and grazing. Kamloops is in a dry valley. 97 climbs out of the dry river valleys around Clinton. The 100 mile area is forest and lakes.

You most likely will travel through the Fraser Canyon from Hope BC to 100 Mile House.
An easy trip without any road problems and great scenery.

Done it many times. No Walmarts between Hope and 100 Mile House.
But there are many opportunities to pull over for the night.

Once in 100 Mile there is free parking at Save On Foods on the north end of town.
Near Hope we stayed at the shopping mall in Chilliwack.


From there it's an easy day drive to 100 Mile House.


From 100 Mile to Gustafson Lake you will be following a gravel road.

If the OP comes up through the Fraser Canyon, Skihist is a great park to spend the night. A lot of history in the area and a chance to walk a section of the original Cariboo Wagon Road.

Just south of the park along the highway 97 (heading north) is a little known spot that I spent many nights at. Although it is close to the road, the noise is not too bad as traffic slows a bit in the curve. The daytime scenery here is spectacular

Check out Forestry Sites of BC. It will give you an idea of any sites off the beaten path. Some are free others may cost up to $14/ night.

BC Explorer---great pics!!

My observation is that BC Forestry Sites are better suited to pickup campers than larger RVs. They are more like cheap eastern Washington Forest Service campgrounds than state or provincial parks.
