Campgrounds near Cariboo C
Cariboo C is a rural electoral area in the Cariboo Regional District of central British Columbia, wrapping around the city of Quesnel along Highway 97. The area sits within the Fraser Basin, a region of gently rolling hills, shallow lakes, and mixed forest that transitions between the wetter Quesnel Highland to the east and the drier Chilcotin Plateau to the west. This landscape drives most of the local RV camping options, which cluster near lakes, the Fraser River, and highway service stops close to Quesnel.
The headline provincial park for RVers is Ten Mile Lake Provincial Park, roughly 12 km north of Quesnel on Highway 97. It offers two campgrounds, Lakeside and Touring, with a combined total of just over 100 sites, three sandy beaches, a boat launch, showers, flush toilets, and a dump station.
Private options fill in the gaps for full-hookup travellers and last-minute arrivals. Roberts Roost RV Park sits on a small lake south of town, Lazydaze Campground and Logging and Fraser Bridge Inn and RV Park serve travellers moving along the Cariboo corridor, and Airport Inn Motel and RV Park handles overnight stops closer to Highway 97 services.
Things to do around Cariboo C
Ten Mile Lake anchors most family trips. The park has three sandy beaches, two with buoyed swim areas, a fishing dock, a boat launch, and about 10 km of hiking trails, including a 2 km forested route along an old rail grade to a large beaver pond. Waterskiing is permitted on the lake, and there is no maximum motor size.
Beyond the lake, day trips out of Cariboo C reach Barkerville Historic Town, the goldfields road east of Quesnel, and the Fraser and Quesnel river corridors for paddling and fishing. In winter, Ten Mile Lake's trail network converts to roughly 10 km of cross-country ski trails, with snowshoeing and ice fishing on the frozen lake.

The main RV season runs from May through September, matching the operating window at Ten Mile Lake Provincial Park. July and August bring the warmest, driest camping weather and the highest demand, so reservable sites at Ten Mile Lake and the private parks around Quesnel fill early on weekends and holidays. June and September are quieter shoulder months with cooler nights but easier availability.
Spring can be wet and muddy on unpaved sites, and lakes are cold for swimming well into June. October brings the wettest month of the year on average and shorter days, with overnight frosts common. Wildfire smoke can affect the Cariboo in mid to late summer during dry years, so checking BC Wildfire Service advisories before travel is worthwhile.
Winter shifts the area into cross-country ski and ice-fishing mode. Provincial park camping is closed, but the trail system at Ten Mile Lake stays open for day use, and some private RV parks near Quesnel remain open year-round for self-contained rigs.
How to book Cariboo C campsites
Ten Mile Lake Provincial Park uses the BC Parks reservation service at camping.bcparks.ca. For the 2026 season BC Parks moved to a three-month rolling booking window, replacing the previous four-month window, so arrival dates open for reservation three months out at 7 a.m. Pacific. A small number of sites are held as first-come, first-served, but for summer weekends booking at the three-month mark is strongly recommended.
Private parks in the Cariboo C area, including Roberts Roost RV Park, Lazydaze Campground and Logging, Airport Inn Motel and RV Park, and Fraser Bridge Inn and RV Park, are booked directly with each operator by phone, email, or their own website. Full-hookup sites at these parks generally fill later than provincial park sites but still tighten up around long weekends.
What to expect on the ground
Ten Mile Lake Provincial Park sites do not have hookups, and the posted RV length limit is about 32 feet, though the Touring loop includes 23 pull-through sites that handle larger rigs. Facilities include water taps, flush toilets, showers, a dump station, and paved interior roads. Generator use is restricted to 9 to 11 a.m. and 6 to 8 p.m., and quiet hours run from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m.
ORVs, including ATVs, off-road motorcycles, snowmobiles, and side-by-sides, are prohibited inside the park. Cell coverage is generally reliable near Quesnel and Highway 97 but drops off on backroads into the surrounding electoral area. Black bears are present throughout the Cariboo, so standard food storage and clean-site practices apply at every campground.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Cariboo C, BC
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Cariboo C, BC?
RV rental in Cariboo C is one of the most affordable ways to explore British Columbia's central interior. Expect travel trailers to start around $120 to $180 CAD per night, Class C motorhomes from $200 to $300, and larger Class A rigs from $300 to $450, depending on age and season. Cheap RV rental Cariboo C deals are easiest to find in May, June, and September when demand softens but the weather is still great. Pro tip: filter for Instant Book and longer trips (7+ nights) since many Cariboo hosts offer weekly discounts that can reduce your total by 10 to 20 percent.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Cariboo%20C%2C%20British%20ColumbiaWhat license do I need to rent an RV in Cariboo C, BC?
Good news: your regular Class 5 BC driver's licence (or equivalent from your home province, state, or country) is all you need to rent an RV in Cariboo C. No special RV endorsement or commercial licence is required for the motorhomes, campervans, and travel trailers listed on RVezy, even the larger Class A rigs. Approved drivers are generally 25 or older, and RVezy verifies your ID right through the platform during checkout, so there's no paperwork hassle at pickup. Visiting from overseas? Bring your home licence plus an International Driving Permit and you're set for your Cariboo RV trip.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat protection is included with my Cariboo C RV rental?
Every RV rental in Cariboo C comes with an RVezy protection plan and 24/7 roadside assistance built right into your booking, so you're covered the moment you hit Highway 97. The protection plan covers most physical damage to the vehicle during your trip, which is reassuring when you're driving unfamiliar gravel roads around Quesnel Lake or Bowron Lake. During checkout you'll choose between different protection tiers based on how much coverage and how low a deductible you want. It gives renters real financial peace of mind so you can focus on the lakes, not the what-ifs.
rvezy.com/insurance-and-protectionWhat is the cancellation policy if my Cariboo plans change?
Booking your Cariboo C RV rental is low-risk. RVezy sets the cancellation policy (not the host), and every booking includes a money-back grace period right after you book so you have time to confirm vacation days, weather, or wildfire conditions before you're locked in. Refund amounts after that depend on how far out you cancel from your trip start date. You'll see the full policy at checkout and in your booking confirmation. Pro tip: if a wildfire evacuation alert pops up near your route, message RVezy support right away, they've helped many BC travelers reroute or rebook.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a Cariboo C RV trip?
Absolutely, the Cariboo is one of the most dog-friendly regions in BC and pet-friendly RV rental Cariboo C options are easy to find. Just toggle the Pet-Friendly filter on RVezy and you'll see listings from hosts who welcome dogs (some allow cats too). Once you're on the road, your pup will love the lakeside trails at Ten Mile Lake Provincial Park and the open meadows around Bull Canyon. Most provincial campgrounds in the Cariboo allow leashed pets at no extra fee. Pro tip: pack a tick remover, since spring and early summer ticks are common in the grasslands south of Williams Lake.
bcparks.ca/visit-us/pets-pet-bylaws/Can the RV be delivered to my campground in the Cariboo?
Yes, RV delivery Cariboo C is a popular option, especially for first-timers who'd rather skip driving a big rig on Highway 97. Many hosts will deliver and set up your motorhome or travel trailer right at the campsite (think Ten Mile Lake Provincial Park, Bull Canyon, or a private resort on Lac la Hache) and walk you through hookups, slide-outs, and the propane system before they leave. Just use the Delivery filter when searching, then message the host with your campground name and dates to confirm fees, which usually scale with distance. It's the easiest way to enjoy a Cariboo RV trip without ever sitting behind the wheel of the RV yourself.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106494-Delivery-optionsHow far can I drive on an RV rental from Cariboo C?
You've got serious range from Cariboo C. Hosts set their own mileage policies, and many Cariboo listings include 150 to 250 km per day free, with some offering RV rental with unlimited mileage which is gold for a long BC loop. From Quesnel, you can reach Barkerville Historic Town in about 1 hour, Bowron Lake Provincial Park in 2 hours, Wells Gray Provincial Park in around 3 hours, and Prince George in roughly 1.5 hours. Pro tip: when you message a host before booking, ask about a flat-rate mileage add-on if you're planning a big multi-park RV road trip from Cariboo C.
bcparks.ca/bowron-lake-park/Where are the best campgrounds near Cariboo C, BC?
The Cariboo is packed with classic BC campgrounds. Ten Mile Lake Provincial Park just north of Quesnel offers sandy swimming and easy trails, perfect for families. Bull Canyon Provincial Park west on Highway 20 offers dramatic Chilcotin River views. Bowron Lake Provincial Park is the gateway to the world-famous canoe circuit and has a vehicle-accessible campground. Cedar Point Provincial Park on Quesnel Lake is a hidden gem for fishing. For full hookups, Robert's Roost RV Park in 100 Mile House is a reliable private option. Pro tip: book BC Parks sites through the Discover Camping reservation system up to four months ahead, especially for July and August weekends.
camping.bcparks.ca/When is the best time for an RV trip in the Cariboo?
The sweet spot for RV camping Cariboo C is mid-June through mid-September, when daytime highs in Quesnel and Williams Lake sit in the 22 to 28°C range and lakes are warm enough for swimming. July and August are peak (and busiest), while early September brings golden larches, fewer bugs, and great fishing. May and October are quieter shoulder seasons with cool nights (down to 2 to 5°C), so pick a rig with a furnace. Winter rentals are possible for ice fishing and snowmobiling around Quesnel Lake, just confirm the RV has heated holding tanks. Pro tip: keep an eye on the BC Wildfire dashboard from mid-July onward and stay flexible with your route.
climate.weather.gc.ca/climate_normals/results_1981_2010_e.html?searchType=stnName&txtStnName=quesnel&searchMethod=contains&txtCentralLatMin=0&txtCentralLatSec=0&txtCentralLongMin=0&txtCentralLongSec=0&stnID=534&dispBack=0I've never rented an RV before. Will I be okay in the Cariboo?
Yes, the Cariboo is one of the easiest places in BC for a first time renting an RV. Highway 97 (the Cariboo Highway) is wide, well-maintained, and has long straight stretches between Cache Creek and Prince George, so you can settle into the rig before tackling anything technical. Every RVezy host gives you a full walkthrough at pickup covering propane, water, waste tanks, slides, and the generator, plus you can message them mid-trip if anything stumps you. Pro tip: plan a short first day (Quesnel to Ten Mile Lake is only about 15 minutes) so you can practice backing into a site while you're fresh and still close to your host.
rvezy.com/blog/first-time-rv-renter-guideWhat happens if something goes wrong on the road?
You're never stranded. Every RV rental in Cariboo C includes 24/7 roadside assistance through your RVezy protection plan, which covers tows, flat tires, dead batteries, lockouts, and fuel delivery, exactly the things most likely to happen on a remote stretch of Highway 97 or Highway 20. RVezy support is reachable any hour of the day. Pro tip: cell service can drop between Williams Lake and Bella Coola on Highway 20, so download offline maps and screenshot your host's number and the roadside assistance line before you leave Quesnel.
rvezy.com/insurance-and-protectionCan I take my Cariboo RV rental across the border into the US or Alberta?
Interprovincial trips are very doable. Many Cariboo hosts allow travel into Alberta (Jasper and Banff are stunning RV destinations), and some permit cross-border trips into Washington, Idaho, or Montana, it just depends on the host's insurance policy. Always confirm in writing through RVezy messaging before booking. Travel into Mexico is not permitted on any RVezy rental due to insurance limits. Popular cross-border routes from the Cariboo include Quesnel to Jasper (about 5.5 hours via Highway 16) and Quesnel to Banff (around 9 to 10 hours). Pro tip: carry your booking confirmation, vehicle registration, and a host-signed cross-border letter at the border crossing.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityWhat kind of fuel mileage and gas budget should I plan for?
Planning your Cariboo RV trip budget is straightforward. Class B campervans get roughly 18 to 22 L/100km, Class C motorhomes 22 to 30 L/100km, and big Class A rigs 30 to 40 L/100km. Travel trailers depend on your tow vehicle. As of 2025, gas in Quesnel and Williams Lake typically runs about 10 to 15 cents per litre cheaper than Metro Vancouver, which is a nice break. Fill up in 100 Mile House or Quesnel before heading west on Highway 20 toward Bella Coola, the stretch through the Chilcotin has long gaps between stations. Pro tip: GasBuddy works well across BC, and many Cariboo stations accept the Co-op gas card for additional savings.
www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/taxes/sales-taxes/motor-fuel-carbon-tax/motor-fuel-tax-ratesHow far ahead should I book campgrounds in the Cariboo?
Plan ahead and you'll get the best sites. BC Parks reservations open exactly four months before your arrival date through the Discover Camping system, and prime spots like Ten Mile Lake, Bowron Lake, and Lac la Hache fill up fast for July and August weekends, so log in at 7:00 a.m. on the four-month mark. Private resorts around Quesnel Lake and 100 Mile House (think Robert's Roost or Loon Bay) take bookings further out. Shoulder-season campers (late May, September) can often roll up without reservations. Pro tip: many Cariboo Forest Service recreation sites are first-come, first-served and free or low-cost, perfect for a flexible motorhome rental Cariboo C adventure off the beaten path.
camping.bcparks.ca/What are the driving conditions like in the Cariboo?
Driving the Cariboo is pleasant for an RV. Highway 97 between Cache Creek and Prince George is a wide two-lane highway with regular passing lanes, gentle grades, and minimal traffic compared to southern BC. Watch for wildlife at dawn and dusk (deer, moose, and the occasional black bear), and slow down in construction zones near Williams Lake. Highway 20 to Bella Coola includes the famous Hill, a steep descent with grades up to 18 percent that's not suited to most rentals, so plan to turn around at Anahim Lake unless your host explicitly approves the route. Pro tip: check DriveBC every morning of your trip for closures, smoke advisories, and chain-up requirements in shoulder season.
drivebc.ca/What amenities do Cariboo campgrounds offer?
Cariboo campgrounds run the full spectrum, which gives you options. BC Parks sites like Ten Mile Lake, Bowron Lake, and Lac la Hache offer large treed sites, potable water taps, pit or flush toilets, and firewood for sale, but no electrical or sewer hookups, so you'll dry camp using your RV's tanks. Private parks like Robert's Roost in 100 Mile House have full 30/50-amp hookups, sani-dumps, showers, laundry, and Wi-Fi. Sani-dump stations are available in Quesnel and Williams Lake. Pro tip: top up fresh water at any provincial park entrance station before heading out to backcountry sites where there's no potable supply.
bcparks.ca/ten-mile-lake-park/What's included inside a typical Cariboo RV rental?
You'll be impressed at how loaded most rigs are. A typical RV rental in Cariboo C sleeps 4 to 8 with a real queen or king bed, convertible dinette, full kitchen (fridge, freezer, propane stove, microwave, sink), bathroom with shower and toilet, furnace, air conditioning, and seatbelted travel seats. Many include a generator, solar, or Wi-Fi hotspot, which is a lifesaver in cell-spotty areas around Quesnel Lake. Hosts usually provide bedding, kitchenware, and outdoor chairs. Pro tip: check the listing's amenities list and message the host if you specifically need a bike rack, kayak rack, or extra propane for longer dry-camping stretches in the backcountry.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Cariboo%20C%2C%20British%20ColumbiaWhat add-ons and pickup options should I know about?
Cariboo hosts offer add-ons that make your trip easier. Popular extras include bedding and linen packages, kitchen kits, generators, bike racks, kayak or SUP rentals, fishing gear, camping chairs, BBQs, and Wi-Fi hotspots, all priced and listed transparently on the listing page. Mileage policies vary: some include 200 km per day free, others offer unlimited mileage which is ideal for a Bowron Lakes or Bella Coola loop. Pickup is usually at the host's address in Quesnel, Williams Lake, or 100 Mile House, or you can request delivery to your campground. Pro tip: book a host who offers an end-of-trip sani-dump cleanout, you'll save the hassle of dumping yourself on your last morning.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Cariboo%20C%2C%20British%20ColumbiaHow does payment and the security deposit work?
Payment is simple and secure. You pay through the RVezy platform with a credit card at the time of booking, never directly to the host, which keeps everything tracked and protected. A refundable security deposit is pre-authorized on your card before pickup and released after the trip once the host confirms the RV came back in good shape. The security deposit is separate from your booking payment. To avoid any deductions, snap photos at pickup and dropoff, return with the same fuel and propane levels, and empty the holding tanks at a sani-dump. Pro tip: use a credit card with a high enough limit to cover the hold without cramping your trip spending.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksCan I rent an RV in the Cariboo during winter?
Yes, winter RV trips in the Cariboo are an underrated adventure. Some hosts keep their rigs available November through March for ice fishing on Dragon Lake, snowmobiling around Wells, or cross-country skiing near Williams Lake. Just filter for winter availability and confirm the rig has heated holding tanks, an enclosed underbelly, skirting options, and a reliable furnace, since Quesnel regularly sees minus 15 to minus 25 Celsius in January. You'll want shore power at a winterized site. Pro tip: ask your host for the propane refill spots they trust locally, and pack tire chains, BC law requires winter tires or chains on most Cariboo highways from October 1 to April 30.
