Campgrounds near Clinton, British Columbia
Clinton sits along Highway 97 in the southern Cariboo region of British Columbia, roughly halfway between Cache Creek and 100 Mile House. The village serves as a practical staging point for RV travellers exploring the Marble Range, the Fraser River canyon, and the lake country to the north. Elevation is around 1,000 metres, so nights stay cool even in mid-summer.
Campground options within an hour of town cover a range of styles. Historic Hat Creek Ranch offers eight powered RV sites plus unlimited dry camping, along with cabins, miner's shacks, and covered wagons on a heritage site between Cache Creek and Clinton. Willow Springs RV Park and Campground and Evergreen Fishing Resort Ltd provide private-park amenities closer to the highway corridor.
For provincial-park camping, the shore of Crown Lake in Marble Canyon Provincial Park includes a vehicle-accessible campground bookended by Crown and Turquoise Lakes. Big Bar Lake Provincial Park sits about 42 km northwest of Clinton, with lakeside and upper campgrounds set among lodgepole pine and spruce against a mountainous Cariboo backdrop.
Things to do near Clinton
Fishing anchors most trips to this area. Big Bar Lake is stocked yearly with rainbow trout, and fishing is typically best between mid-May and late July. Nearby Little Big Bar Lake and Beaverdam Lake are also popular. All anglers need a valid British Columbia freshwater licence.
Hiking and paddling round out the day list. A 3.5 km self-guided Otter Marsh Interpretive Trail loops the wetlands at Big Bar Lake. Marble Canyon Provincial Park draws rock climbers, hikers, and anglers to routes and lakeshore trails around Crown, Turquoise, and Pavilion Lakes, with swimming from a small beach on Crown Lake.
For a rest day, Historic Hat Creek Ranch offers guided tours of the 1860s roadhouse and an Indigenous interpretive site produced with the Bonaparte First Nation. The Jesmond Loop north of town accesses a fire lookout with views over the Fraser River and the Marble Range.

The camping window in this part of the Cariboo is short. Marble Canyon Provincial Park is open from the beginning of May to the end of September, and Big Bar Lake typically follows a mid-May through late-September pattern. Historic Hat Creek Ranch opens May 1 for the season. Outside those windows, gates are locked and services are pulled.
Summer is the busy stretch. Marble Canyon can get busy in July and August, when the interior climate is hot and dry, and the small campground often fills between campers and day-trippers on sunny weekends. Bugs peak in early summer, so bring repellent and screened shelter for late-June and early-July trips to the lake parks.
Shoulder season brings the best value. Cooler nights, fewer crowds, and lower fire risk make September attractive for RVers who can tolerate frost. Winter travel through Clinton continues on Highway 97, but the surrounding campgrounds shut down and the Marble Canyon campground gate is closed, with only a small pull-out for winter visitors.
How to book campgrounds near Clinton
Provincial-park reservations for BC Parks sites are handled through the Discover Camping portal at bcparks.ca. Reservable sites open in a rolling window ahead of the arrival date, so book the day the window opens for July and August weekends. Confirm current reservation status for each park on the BC Parks site, as some Cariboo campgrounds shift between reservable and first-come, first-served from season to season.
Marble Canyon operates on a first-come, first-served basis. The 30 vehicle-accessible campsites are not reservable, and overnight visitors pay at the campground with a self-registration system, cash only. Arriving mid-week improves the odds in July and August.
Private campgrounds including Historic Hat Creek Ranch, Willow Springs RV Park and Campground, and Evergreen Fishing Resort Ltd take direct bookings by phone or through their own websites. Reserve powered sites well ahead for summer long weekends.
What to expect on the ground
Services are limited. Big Bar Lake sites are suitable for RVs or trailers, though only about ten can accommodate larger rigs, and all sites are primitive with no water, sewer, or electric hookups and no sani-dump station. Plan for dry camping, and top up water and dump tanks in Clinton or Cache Creek.
Cell coverage drops off quickly outside the highway corridor. Marble Canyon Provincial Park has no wifi and cell service is poor. Download offline maps before leaving town, and expect a long gravel stretch on the approach to Big Bar Lake, roughly 34 km off Highway 97.
Wildlife is active. Black bear, deer, moose, and coyote all range through the Cariboo, so store food and scented items inside the RV. Fire bans are common in July and August across the Thompson-Cariboo, so check current restrictions before lighting a campfire.
