Camping near Kamloops, British Columbia
Kamloops sits at the confluence of the North and South Thompson Rivers in BC's semi-arid Southern Interior, about a four-hour drive from Vancouver on Highway 5 and roughly seven hours from Calgary on the Trans-Canada. The surrounding Thompson Plateau is dotted with small trout lakes, grasslands and Douglas-fir forest, giving RV travellers a wide choice of campgrounds within a 30 to 45-minute radius of the city.
Close-in options include Silver Sage Campground and Kamloops RV Park, both useful bases for travellers who want serviced sites near restaurants, laundry and grocery stops. For a more rustic setting, Paul Lake Provincial Park is a lovely lakeshore campground within a half-hour drive of Kamloops with 90 campsites, a group campsite, a playground, and firewood available for sale, offering fishing, hiking, cycling, wildlife viewing and water sports.
Further out, Lac Le Jeune Provincial Park sits south of Kamloops off the Coquihalla, and Roche Lake Provincial Park is 36 km southeast of Kamloops, accessed via gravel road from Highway 5A at the north end of Trapp Lake.
Things to do around Kamloops
Fishing drives much of the region's camping traffic. The waters of Lac Le Jeune are known for rainbow trout, and Roche Lake and the surrounding lakes are considered world class trout fishing lakes, with activities including fishing, hiking, cycling, wildlife viewing, rock climbing and ATV-ing. Paddleboards, kayaks and small aluminum boats all get used heavily on Paul Lake, Lac Le Jeune and Roche Lake through the warm months.
On land, hiking is easy to fit into a day. Paul Lake has more than 7 km of hiking trails, and one route climbs through a mature Douglas-fir forest to the top of Gibraltar Rock, which offers views of the lake and Harper Mountain.
In town, families use the BC Wildlife Park, the riverfront trails and Sun Peaks Resort (about 45 minutes north) for mountain biking and chairlift rides.

The provincial-park season is short. Lac Le Jeune runs with full services roughly from mid-May to the end of September, and in the off-season only self-contained units are permitted, the sani-station is closed, and no fee or services apply. The park gate closes when the lake freezes or roads become unsafe from ice or snow, and reopens once ice is off and roads are clear. Paul Lake follows a similar summer operating pattern and, per BC Parks, fills up quickly, so arriving early matters.
Roche Lake is more rustic. Roche Lake North accommodates tents, trailers and RVs and is in full operation between May and October, with the campground accessible year-round but services not guaranteed. During winter the Lac Le Jeune area is used for cross-country skiing with no vehicle access.
Summer heat and wildfire risk shape trip planning. Campfire bans are common from mid-July through August across the Kamloops Fire Centre, and smoke from regional fires can affect visibility and air quality. Shoulder-season trips in May, June and September usually see fewer crowds and cooler nights.

This is my second adventure with Louis and Tammy’s ‘Banjo ll’. They are so wonderful and they cheerfully welcome me and my two doggos. Everything was as perfect this time as it was last year. They really take care of you and take care of everything.. and when you have a perceived ‘emergency’ (I broke one of the keys!), they respond immediately and talk you (me!) off the ledge.

We had a fantastic trip in Banjo II. The RV was great and everything worked perfectly throughout our rental. It was really well equipped, with plenty of chairs including ones for the kids, a propane BBQ and campfire, coffee machine and toaster — all the little extras that made the trip really easy and enjoyable. Louis was brilliant, especially at checkout when he took the time to explain everything clearly. He was also super flexible and accommodating with both pickup and drop-off. We had a great time and would definitely return to Banjo II if we’re back in the area for another RV trip. Highly recommended!

How to book campgrounds near Kamloops
Provincial-park sites are reserved through the BC Parks Discover Camping system. At Paul Lake, of the 90 vehicle-accessible campsites, 47 are reservable in advance and the rest remain first-come, first-served, and to make a reservation, book online on BC Parks' Discover Camping website.
Summer weekends in July and August book out quickly, especially lakeshore sites. Lac Le Jeune accepts reservations through Discover Camping during its operating season, while Roche Lake offers vehicle accessible campsites on a first-come, first-served basis and campsite reservations are not accepted.
Private options such as Silver Sage Campground and Kamloops RV Park take direct bookings by phone or website and are the more reliable choice for last-minute stays or larger rigs needing full hookups.
What to expect on the ground
The Kamloops valley is dry and open, with sagebrush hillsides and hot summer afternoons, but nearby campgrounds sit in noticeably cooler, treed pockets. Paul Lake and Lac Le Jeune feel completely different from the surrounding grasslands: quiet, forested settings with lake access. Expect a mix of shaded and open sites, gravel pads, and pit or flush toilets depending on the park.
Hookups vary. Silver Sage Campground and Kamloops RV Park cater to RVs with serviced sites, while pit toilets and cold-water taps (only on when the campground is in full operation) are what you'll find at Roche Lake West. Sani-stations are available at Paul Lake and Lac Le Jeune.
Bring bug spray for shoulder-season evenings, a bear-aware food storage plan, and firewood cash. Road access to Roche Lake is gravel and rough in spots, so larger trailers and low-clearance RVs are better suited to Paul Lake, Lac Le Jeune, or the in-town parks.

rvezy.com/insurance-and-protectionCan I cancel my Kamloops RV rental if my plans change?
Every booking is backed by RVezy's cancellation policy. You can receive a full refund if you cancel within 24 hours of the host accepting your booking and your payment being made (and if the trip start is more than 24 hours away). After that, refunds depend on timing: cancel more than 30 days before the trip and you forfeit only the service fee; between 30 and 8 days you get 50% of the rental back; 7 days or less, the full rental is non-refundable. Protection plan, delivery, and add-ons are refunded. If your host cancels, you receive a full refund. Check your RVezy account for your booking details.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsAre there pet-friendly RV rentals in Kamloops?
You'll find plenty of pet-friendly RV rental options in Kamloops, so your furry friend can join the adventure. Just filter for 'pet-friendly' on RVezy to see all campervans and trailers where pets are welcome. Kamloops has some excellent dog parks (like Pineview Valley Off-Leash Park) and pet-friendly hikes, so you and your pup can explore together. Remember to confirm any pet rules and bring supplies: a happy pet means a happier trip!
Can my Kamloops RV rental be delivered to a specific location, like a campground or my house?
Yes, many Kamloops RV owners offer delivery and setup: your RV rental can come right to your site at places like Kamloops RV Park or Juniper Beach Provincial Park. The host will handle setup and show you how everything works, making delivery the easiest choice for a first-time RV trip or when you want to skip towing altogether. Just look for the 'RV delivery Kamloops' filter when you search. Book early for popular weekends!
bcparks.ca/juniper-beach-park/How far can I travel with my Kamloops RV rental, and are there mileage limits?
Most Kamloops RV rentals include a set number of free kilometers per day, often 100-250 km, and you can easily ask your host about unlimited mileage options for longer BC adventures. Since Kamloops is at the crossroads of the Trans-Canada and Yellowhead highways, you're perfectly positioned for road trips: Sun Peaks Resort is 55 km away, Shuswap Lake 90 km, and Kelowna under two hours. RVezy coverage is valid throughout Canada and the US (excluding Mexico and certain prohibited areas). Just keep an eye on your mileage when dreaming up your BC RV road trip.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Where-is-RVezy-s-insurance-coverage-validWhere can I park and camp with my RV near Kamloops?
Kamloops is loaded with great RV camping options: Kamloops RV Park has full hookups just off the Trans-Canada Highway, Paul Lake Provincial Park offers spacious lakeside sites, and Knutsford Campground is a classic family spot south of downtown. For quick overnight stops, check local bylaws: a few big stores allow overnight RV parking with permission. Book provincial parks up to 4 months ahead, especially for summer weekends, at BC Parks' online system.
When is the best time to visit Kamloops for an RV trip?
Spring and early fall are the sweet spots for an RV trip in Kamloops: expect warm, sunny days (15 to 30°C) and fewer crowds from April-June or September-October. July and August bring hot, dry weather (20-35°C), perfect for lakes and longer days, though campgrounds are busiest. Winter RV camping is a true adventure here: highs usually hover around -1°C and lows can dip to -10°C, but snowshoeing at Stake Lake or winter sports at Sun Peaks make it epic.
I've never driven an RV before. How hard is it to take an RV trip near Kamloops?
You're not alone: Kamloops is a perfect place for your first RV rental! Every RVezy booking includes a hands-on walkthrough with the host, so you'll get step-by-step instructions before you drive. Most highways around Kamloops are wide and RV-friendly, making it easy to head for the Shuswap, the Okanagan, or the Cariboo. Plus, you can always message your host with questions or choose delivery if you'd rather not drive at all.

rvezy.com/insurance-and-protectionCan I take my Kamloops RV rental on a cross-border trip to the US?
You can take your Kamloops RV rental on a cross-border road trip to the United States with RVezy approval and permission from your host. The drive to Spokane, WA, is about 4.5 hours, with border crossings at Osoyoos or Abbotsford. Be sure to notify your host when booking, and bring your driver's license and passport. Please note: RVezy rentals are not permitted to travel to Mexico.
How much should I budget for fuel on a Kamloops RV rental?
Fuel costs for an RV rental from Kamloops are easy to plan for: most motorhomes average 16-22 litres per 100 km (12-15 MPG), while campervans and trailers use less. Gas prices in Kamloops usually hover around $1.60-$2.00/L, depending on the season. For a classic family RV trip to Shuswap Lake (about 180 km roundtrip), budget about $55-$75 for fuel. Make your trip budget stretch further by combining sightseeing stops to minimize big detours.
How far in advance should I book a campground near Kamloops, and where do I reserve?
Reserve your campsite for popular Kamloops campgrounds like Paul Lake and Juniper Beach Provincial Parks up to 4 months in advance on the BC Parks website. Peak summer dates can fill within hours of opening, while shoulder season sites are easier to secure. For Kamloops RV Park and Knutsford Campground (private), bookings are available directly on their websites or by phone. Lock in your spot early for festivals or long weekends!
What should I know about driving an RV in and around Kamloops?
Kamloops is a breeze for RV driving! Major highways are well-maintained, and traffic is lighter than bigger cities. Watch for steep grades on the Coquihalla (Highway 5) and occasional wildlife near dusk. In winter, snow and ice can affect local roads, so check DriveBC for updates. Many Kamloops hosts offer RV delivery straight to your campground, great if city driving makes you nervous. Early mornings mean wide-open roads to your next adventure.
What amenities are available at Kamloops RV campgrounds?
You'll find a range of amenities at local Kamloops RV parks: think full hookups (power, water, sewer) at Kamloops RV Park, lakeside access and showers at Paul Lake Provincial Park, and playgrounds at Knutsford Campground. Each provincial park has designated sani-dumps for easy waste disposal and potable water fill-ups. Double-check if your site has electricity, especially when planning a winter RV camping trip. Bring a long hose and extension cord to stay flexible on site choices.
What features can I expect in a typical RV rental in Kamloops?
Most RV rentals in Kamloops are fully loaded: expect real beds (often queen or double), a stocked kitchen with fridge/stove, bathroom with shower, generator, TV, and air conditioning. Some motorhome rentals even feature Wi-Fi or solar panels. Hosts often offer add-ons like camping chairs, outdoor BBQs, and bike racks for a small fee. Check the seatbelt count and child seat info if you're planning a family RV trip in Kamloops.
What should I know about fees, add-ons, and picking up or dropping off my Kamloops RV rental?
When you rent an RV in Kamloops, you'll see any one-time fees, cleaning charges, or optional add-ons like firewood or camping gear right on the listing: no surprises at checkout. Self-pickup and drop-off are straightforward, usually at the host's address, and many hosts offer flexible arrangements for smooth hand-offs. Unlimited mileage and pet fees, if available, are clearly listed too, so you can personalize your trip.
Is a security deposit required, and how does payment work for a Kamloops RV rental?
A security deposit may apply: if the host has set one, the amount is shown on the listing and during checkout. RVezy places a temporary authorization on your payment method three days before the trip (no charge, funds held). It is released 7 days after the trip ends unless a claim is submitted. Payment is processed securely through RVezy. Return the RV clean and topped up to help ensure a smooth release of the hold.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksCan I rent an RV in Kamloops for a trip in winter, and is it safe?
Winter RV camping in Kamloops is an adventure, and yes, it's possible! Many RV rentals in Kamloops are equipped for the cold with heated tanks and extra insulation. Plan for overnight lows of -5 to -15°C and use hookups for heat. Always travel with proper winter tires and check for highway updates. Winter festivals and wildlife watching are amazing ways to enjoy the off-season, plus you'll have plenty of space at local campgrounds.
