Camping near Cariboo E, British Columbia
Cariboo E is a rural electoral area in British Columbia's Cariboo Chilcotin Coast region, with Williams Lake as its commercial hub. The area sits along Highway 97, the main north-south route through the BC Interior, roughly halfway between Kamloops and Prince George. It functions as a practical base for RV travellers exploring lakes, ranchlands, and Gold Rush history.
The surrounding landscape is classic Interior Douglas fir country: dry forests, open grasslands, and thousands of small lakes. Williams Lake is the largest urban centre between Kamloops and Prince George, each roughly a three-hour drive away, with Vancouver about six hours south. Campgrounds range from full-hookup RV parks in town to rustic provincial park sites on lake shores.
Options close to the highway include Williams Lake Stampede Campground next to the rodeo grounds, Whispering Willows Campsite on Mountain House Road, and Blue Lake Campground on a small lake nearby. Crystal Springs Resort offers a resort-style stay, and Lac La Hache Provincial Park sits about an hour south along Highway 97.
Things to do around Cariboo E
Fishing, paddling, and swimming dominate the warm-season agenda. Lac La Hache is a well-known fishery for kokanee, rainbow trout, lake trout, and burbot, and the lake is also used for powerboating and waterskiing. Scout Island Nature Centre in Williams Lake gives families an easy paddling and birding stop close to town.
On land, the River Valley Trail and connecting loops follow the Williams Lake river through Douglas fir forests and grasslands, and the region has a large network of mountain bike trails. The Wagon Road self-guided nature trail at Lac La Hache is a two-kilometre walk with interpretive panels on Gold Rush history.
Time a visit to the Williams Lake Stampede over the Canada Day long weekend for parades, rodeo performances, and downtown events.

When to visit Cariboo E
- spring
March - May
11° / -1°C 30 mmDriest season; cold nights; sites open in May.
- summer
June - August
23° / 9°C 50 mmPeak season; Stampede weekend fills sites early.
- fall
September - November
9° / -1°C 43 mmCool days, strong fall colour; parks close by November.
- winter
December - February
-2° / -11°C 32 mmFreezing and snowy; most campgrounds closed.
The practical camping season runs from May through early October. Williams Lake has a humid continental climate with warm summers and cold winters, and it sits in the rain shadow of the Coast Mountains, so it sees more sunshine than most of the province. Mid-July to mid-August is the peak window for warm-weather activities.
Spring is the driest part of the year and shoulder-season sites are usually easy to secure, though nights stay cold into May. Summer brings the biggest crowds: Canada Day weekend during the Williams Lake Stampede is the busiest stretch, and provincial park sites at Lac La Hache fill quickly on holiday weekends. Wildfire smoke can affect air quality in July and August.
Fall colours in the Cariboo Chilcotin are strong through September, and many private campgrounds stay open into October. Whispering Willows Campsite, for example, operates from May through October. Provincial park gates close for winter and most campgrounds shut down once freezing weather sets in.
Top Hosts near Cariboo E, BC
The trailer was exactly as described. We had a great experience with Jordan. He was friendly and accommodating, even with our last minute plan changes. He took the time to explain everything we needed to know about the trailer in detail. We really appreciated him.
Tazarve G. - Oct 2025
RV was great. Jordan brought it to our site and was super accommodating and helpful. Good communication.
Nicole D. - Sep 2025
Lovely very large trailer for camping and host set up for us before we arrived at the camp site. Just a note to our host about the chlorine taste of the water so she was going to have it looked at. We really enjoyed the few days we had it and would recommend for anyone to book. Thank you Brittany
Ron P. - Jul 2026
This is a great trailer. It’s big, clean and is well stocked. Brittney was quick to answer any question we had. We would definitely rent it again.

How to book campgrounds near Cariboo E
Provincial park sites are handled through the BC Parks reservation system (Discover Camping). At Lac La Hache Provincial Park, all campsite reservations must be made through that system, and when reservations are not available all campsites function as first-come, first-served. Of the 83 sites, 31 are reservable and the rest are first-come, first-served. Book as early as possible for July and August weekends, since the reservation window opens months ahead of arrival.
Private campgrounds such as Williams Lake Stampede Campground, Whispering Willows Campsite, Blue Lake Campground, and Crystal Springs Resort are booked directly with the operator by phone, website, or third-party listing. Sites near the rodeo grounds sell out well in advance of the Canada Day long weekend.
What to expect at Cariboo E campgrounds
Expect a mix of serviced RV parks and rustic provincial park loops. Private options near Williams Lake, including Whispering Willows Campsite, generally offer full or partial hookups, dump stations, showers, and laundry. Whispering Willows caters to all RV types, including big rigs and pull-through sites, with water, sewer, electrical, and 30-amp service.
Lac La Hache Provincial Park is dry camping only: flush toilets, tap water, fire rings, firewood for purchase, and a sani-station, but no site hookups. Mosquitoes can be heavy near the lake, so bring repellent.
Black bears, mule deer, and moose are present throughout the region, so store food securely and follow posted wildlife guidance. Cell coverage is reliable in and around Williams Lake but drops off quickly on backroads and at remote lakes.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Cariboo E, BC
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Cariboo E, BC?
RV rental in Cariboo E is one of the best values in British Columbia, with most peer-to-peer rentals on RVezy ranging from roughly CAD $150 to $300 per night depending on the rig. Travel trailers tend to sit at the lower end, while Class C motorhomes and fifth wheels with bunkhouses run higher. To find a cheap RV rental in Cariboo E, book mid-week, travel in the shoulder months of May or September, and look for hosts offering weekly discounts. Pro tip: filter by Instant Book to lock in a great rate without waiting for host approval, especially around the Williams Lake Stampede in July when demand spikes.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Cariboo,British%20ColumbiaDo I need a special license to rent an RV in Cariboo E, BC?
Good news: a regular Class 5 BC driver's license (or your home province or state equivalent) is all you need to rent an RV in Cariboo E for any motorhome or trailer typically listed on RVezy. There is no special RV license or commercial driver's license required in British Columbia. Approved drivers on RVezy are generally 25 or older, and your ID is verified right through the platform during checkout. Visiting from overseas? Bring your home license plus an International Driving Permit and you're set to explore the Cariboo backroads.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat protection is included when I book an RV rental in Cariboo E?
Every RVezy booking in Cariboo E includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can head into ranch country with real peace of mind. You choose the protection level during checkout (not the host), so you can pick coverage that fits your comfort, and it covers most physical damage to the RV during your trip. That matters in a region like the Cariboo, where you might be 90 minutes from the nearest town on Highway 97 and want to know help is just a phone call away. For full details on what is included, review the RVezy protection plans before you book.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat is the cancellation policy if my Cariboo E RV trip plans change?
Flexibility is built in. RVezy sets the cancellation policy (not individual hosts), and every booking includes a grace period after you book where you can cancel for a full refund, giving you room to firm up your Cariboo plans. Beyond that grace period, refund amounts depend on how far out from your trip you cancel. If a host needs to cancel, RVezy refunds your booking or provides travel credits so you can rebook. Pro tip: book your RV early to lock in the best Cariboo rigs, then secure campground reservations afterwards knowing you have a window to adjust if plans shift.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a pet-friendly RV rental in Cariboo E?
Absolutely, the Cariboo is a dog's dream and you'll find plenty of pet-friendly RV rental options in Cariboo E on RVezy. Just toggle the Pet-Friendly filter when searching and message the host to share your pup's size and breed. Many provincial parks in the area, including Lac La Hache and Horsefly Lake Provincial Park, allow leashed dogs on trails and beaches. Bring a long lead, plenty of water, and tick prevention since the grasslands around 150 Mile House and Horsefly are prime tick territory in spring. Pro tip: the Scout Island Nature Centre trails near Williams Lake are a great leg-stretcher for dogs after a long drive.
bcparks.ca/conservation/pets/Can the RV be delivered to my campground in Cariboo E?
Yes, RV delivery in Cariboo E is one of the most popular options for first-time renters, and many local hosts will drop the rig at your campsite, set up the awning, level it, and walk you through every system before they leave. That means you can fly into Williams Lake Regional Airport (YWL), get picked up, and step straight into a fully set-up motorhome at places like Wildwood Campsite or a private lakeside spot near Horsefly. Use the Delivery filter on RVezy to see hosts who offer it, and confirm the delivery fee (usually based on distance) in your pre-booking message. It's the easiest way to start your Cariboo RV trip stress-free.
williamslakeairport.com/How far can I drive on an RV rental from Cariboo E, BC?
You can cover serious ground on a Cariboo E RV trip. Hosts set their own mileage policies, and many offer generous daily allowances, with some listings featuring RV rental with unlimited mileage, perfect for big BC loops. From the heart of Electoral Area E, you're roughly 90 km north to Quesnel, 230 km south to Kamloops, 540 km east to Jasper National Park, and about 540 km southwest to Vancouver via Highway 97 and the Sea-to-Sky. Check the listing's mileage details before booking, and if you're planning a long route message the host directly. Pro tip: looping Highway 97 north and Highway 24 (the Fishing Highway) back south makes a stunning week-long circuit.
www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/transportation/driving-and-cyclingWhere are the best campgrounds near Cariboo E for an RV trip?
You're spoiled for choice. Top campgrounds for RV camping Cariboo E include Lac La Hache Provincial Park (83 sites, lakefront swimming and boating off Hwy 97), Horsefly Lake Provincial Park (vehicle sites, boat launch, great fishing), Big Bar Lake Provincial Park (peaceful, hummocky landscape north of Clinton), Ten Mile Lake Provincial Park (142 sites with 22 pull-throughs, just north of Quesnel), and Bull Canyon Provincial Park for travellers heading toward the Chilcotin. For full hookups, Dragon Lake near Quesnel and Sheridan Lake Resort off Highway 24 are local favourites. Reserve early through BC Parks for July and August, the Cariboo's busiest weeks.
bcparks.ca/reservations/When is the best time of year for an RV trip in Cariboo E, BC?
The sweet spot for an RV rental in Cariboo E is mid-June through early September, when daytime highs sit between 22 and 28°C, lakes are warm enough for swimming, and nearly every provincial park campground is fully open. July brings the famous Williams Lake Stampede and the long, golden Cariboo evenings. May and late September are quieter and cheaper, with crisp nights down to 2 to 5°C, ideal for fishing and fall colours. Winters are cold (regularly -15 to -25°C in January), but a handful of hosts rent four-season rigs with heated tanks for snowmobiling adventures around 100 Mile House and Wells Gray country.
climate.weather.gc.ca/climate_normals/I'm a first-time renter, will I know how to drive and use the RV?
You're going to feel confident faster than you think. First time renting an RV in the Cariboo is genuinely easy because every RVezy host gives you a hands-on walkthrough at pickup, covering driving tips, the propane system, water and waste tanks, the awning, and how to level the rig at camp. Many hosts even text or call mid-trip to check in. Cariboo highways (especially Hwy 97) are wide, well-maintained, and far less stressful than city driving in Vancouver or Calgary. Pro tip: do your first 30 minutes of driving on Highway 97 between 100 Mile House and Lac La Hache, where the road is straight, scenic, and forgiving.
www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/transportation/driving-and-cycling/driver-safetyWhat happens if I have a breakdown during my Cariboo E RV trip?
You're covered. Every RVezy booking in Cariboo E includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the protection plan, so a flat tire on Highway 24 or a dead battery at a remote lake near Horsefly is just a phone call away from help. The roadside team coordinates tows, tire changes, jump starts, and lockout service across BC. Your host is also typically reachable by phone or text for quick questions about the rig. Pro tip: cell service can be spotty in the Cariboo backcountry, so download offline maps before leaving Williams Lake or Quesnel, and grab a paper map at the local Visitor Centre.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Cariboo E rental on a cross-province or cross-border road trip?
Yes, an RV road trip from Cariboo E can absolutely cross provincial lines, and many hosts welcome trips into Alberta for Jasper, Banff, and the Icefields Parkway. Cross-border travel into the United States is sometimes allowed depending on the host's insurance, so message before booking to confirm. Travel into Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals because insurance does not extend there. Popular Cariboo loops include Highway 97 north to Prince George (240 km), east on Highway 16 to Jasper (about 540 km from Williams Lake), or south down to the Okanagan wine country. Always carry your booking confirmation and ID at any border crossing.
cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/travel-voyage/menu-eng.htmlWhat should I budget for fuel on a Cariboo E RV trip?
Fuel is easier to budget than most people expect. Class B campervans average around 9 to 11 L/100km, Class C motorhomes 16 to 20 L/100km, and larger Class A or fifth-wheel setups 22 to 28 L/100km. Gas prices in the Cariboo typically sit a bit below Lower Mainland prices, around CAD $1.55 to $1.75 per litre in Williams Lake and Quesnel. Fill up in those larger towns rather than waiting for small highway stops, where prices climb. A 500 km Cariboo loop in a Class C will run roughly $150 to $200 in fuel. Pro tip: the Petro-Canada in 100 Mile House is a reliable, easy-in/easy-out stop for big rigs.
www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/industry/natural-gas-oil/petroleum-productsHow far ahead should I book campgrounds in Cariboo E?
For BC Parks campgrounds like Lac La Hache, Big Bar Lake, and Ten Mile Lake, reservations open four months ahead of your arrival date through the official BC Parks reservation system, and prime July and August weekends are often snapped up within hours. Aim to book your RVezy rental first, then jump on campground reservations the morning the four-month window opens. Private resorts like Sheridan Lake Resort, Dragon Lake, and Eagle Island Resort on Highway 24 typically book directly through their own websites and need 4 to 8 weeks of lead time in summer. Shoulder-season trips in May, June, or September are far easier to piece together last minute.
camping.bcparks.ca/What are driving conditions like in Cariboo E, BC?
Driving in Cariboo E is genuinely enjoyable, with Highway 97 (the Cariboo Highway) running wide, paved, and well-signed from Cache Creek up through 100 Mile House, Williams Lake, and Quesnel. Watch for wildlife at dawn and dusk (deer, moose, and the occasional black bear), occasional logging trucks, and gravel side roads heading to lakes like Horsefly and Canim. Summer brings the rare wildfire smoke advisory, so check DriveBC before heading out. Winter requires winter tires by law on most BC highways from October 1 to April 30. Pro tip: the climb from the Fraser Canyon at Hat Creek is the longest grade, so take it easy in a big rig and enjoy the lookouts.
drivebc.ca/What amenities can I expect at Cariboo E campgrounds?
Cariboo campgrounds range from rustic to full-service. BC Provincial Parks like Lac La Hache and Horsefly Lake typically offer pit or flush toilets, potable water taps, picnic tables, fire rings with firewood available for purchase, and a sani-dump station, but most do not have electrical hookups. For full 30/50 amp power, water, and sewer, head to private resorts like Sheridan Lake Resort, Dragon Lake Campground south of Quesnel, or Wildwood Campsite near Williams Lake. To dump and refill water mid-trip, the sani-stations at 100 Mile House and Quesnel Visitor Centres are convenient stops right off Highway 97. Pro tip: pack a 25-foot fresh water hose, since spigot placement varies site to site.
bcparks.ca/amenities/What's inside a typical motorhome rental in Cariboo E?
Motorhome rentals in Cariboo E on RVezy come move-in ready. Expect a queen or king bed, a kitchen with a propane stove, fridge/freezer, microwave, sink, and cookware, a bathroom with toilet and shower, a dinette that converts to extra sleeping, roof A/C, a propane furnace for chilly Cariboo nights, and seatbelts for everyone travelling. Most Class C motorhomes sleep 4 to 6, while travel trailers and fifth wheels can sleep 6 to 8. Many hosts include a generator, BBQ, and camp chairs. WiFi is rare in the rig itself, but cell hotspots work well in Williams Lake, 100 Mile House, and Quesnel. Pro tip: confirm bedding and towels are included when you message the host.
rvezy.com/What add-ons and pickup options should I know about?
RVezy hosts in Cariboo E offer plenty of useful add-ons to make your trip smoother. Common extras include kitchen kits, bedding and towel packages, BBQs, generators, bike racks, fishing gear, and even pre-stocked propane tanks, with fees typically ranging CAD $25 to $150 per item or trip. Most hosts arrange pickup at their home base near Williams Lake, 100 Mile House, or Quesnel, but many will deliver to your campground or the airport for a per-kilometre fee. Mileage policies vary, with daily allowances of 100 to 200 km common and unlimited mileage available on some listings. Pro tip: ask about a propane top-up at pickup so you don't lose camp time on day one.
cariboord.ca/p/visitorsHow do payment and the security deposit work on RVezy?
Payment is simple and secure. When you book your RV rental in Cariboo E, you pay through the RVezy platform with a credit card, with a portion charged at booking and the balance closer to your trip. Separately, the host places a refundable security deposit hold on your card before pickup (amount varies by listing) to cover potential issues like missing fuel, late returns, or damage outside the protection plan. As long as you return the rig clean, on time, fuelled up, and with empty tanks, the hold is released after the trip. Pro tip: snap photos of the RV inside and out at pickup and drop-off, your insurance against any surprises.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksIs winter RV camping in Cariboo E possible?
Yes, and it's a quiet, magical way to see the region. A handful of RVezy hosts in Cariboo E rent four-season rigs equipped with heated holding tanks, insulated underbellies, and propane furnaces built for temperatures that can drop to -25 he area for ice fishing on Sheridan Lake and Lac La Hache, snowmobiling around 100 Mile House with hundreds of kilometres of groomed trails, and snowshoeing in nearby Wells Gray Provincial Park. Look for hosts who explicitly mention winter use in their listing and ask about shore power at private resorts that stay open year-round. Pro tip: travel with extra propane and a small electric heater for shore-power nights.
