Camping near Sun Peaks Mountain
Sun Peaks Mountain sits about 45 minutes northeast of Kamloops in British Columbia's interior, at roughly 1,255 metres elevation. In summer, the ski village transforms into a base for lake trips, alpine hiking, and lift-served mountain biking, and RV travellers have several options within a short drive.
Sun Peaks Resort operates a village-side campground in Parking Lot 2 with 45 RV and camping sites within a short walk of the lifts and shops. Hitch N Rail Family Resort sits on Heffley Lake with lakeside sites and cabins about 15 km down the road from the resort, roughly halfway to Kamloops. Jandana Ranch and Pinantan Lake Resort offer quieter forest-and-lake settings closer to Kamloops on the Paul Lake and Pinantan side.
For a rustic provincial park experience, Brush Creek - Adams Lake Provincial Park sits on the southwestern shore of Adams Lake, reached by 15 km of paved and gravel road off Highway 1 at Squilax. Together these options cover the range from full-service resort camping to first-come, first-served lakeside sites.
Things to do near Sun Peaks Mountain
Summer at Sun Peaks Resort runs on lift-served hiking and mountain biking, a bike park, disc golf, and a village with shops and restaurants. Guided horseback rides, alpine wildflower walks, and chairlift sightseeing round out the on-mountain options.
Off the mountain, Heffley Lake is a swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking, and trout-fishing destination, with waterskiing and tubing also popular. Adams Lake is a large, deep lake used for boating, fishing, waterskiing, and windsurfing, and the Adams River south of the provincial park hosts the sockeye salmon return in fall.
RV renters travelling with kids often mix a night or two in the village with days at nearby lakes for swimming, canoeing, and easy trail walks.

The Sun Peaks Resort P2 campground is open in spring and summer only, with the on-site sani-dump running in summer. Hitch N Rail Family Resort on Heffley Lake operates year-round and takes reservations directly. Brush Creek - Adams Lake Provincial Park is generally open from spring through early fall, with access closed once snow accumulates enough to make the Adams Lake West Road unsafe.
June and July are the busiest months for camping in this region, with July the peak for tourism. May and June bring high water at Adams Lake and can limit some pullouts, while August is typically the driest month and can bring wildfire smoke and campfire bans across the BC interior.
Winter shifts the mountain into ski-resort mode, and most surrounding provincial park campgrounds close their gates in the off-season. RV renters should confirm road conditions on Adams Lake West Forest Service Road and other gravel access roads, and expect heavy logging-truck traffic on some routes.

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.
Kari M. - Sep 2026
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 Sun Peaks Mountain
Sun Peaks Resort sites in Parking Lot 2 must be reserved online through the resort's online store in advance; if a date is not shown as available, all sites are booked. Maximum stay is 14 nights, check-in begins at 1:00 pm and check-out is by 11:00 am, and cancellations with more than 24 hours' notice are honoured.
BC provincial parks in the area operate differently. Brush Creek - Adams Lake Provincial Park does not accept advance reservations: sites are first-come, first-served, and campers self-register on arrival.
Privately operated resorts such as Hitch N Rail Family Resort, Jandana Ranch, and Pinantan Lake Resort take reservations directly through the operator. For summer weekends in July and August, RV renters should book several weeks ahead and have a backup plan in case first-come sites are full.
What to expect on-site
Sun Peaks Resort P2 sites accommodate everything from tents to larger RVs, but there are no hookups at individual sites and RVs must be self-contained; a sani-dump is provided on site in summer. Central washrooms are available; showers are not included in resort camping reservations, and campfires are not permitted except with portable propane fire pits.
Hitch N Rail Family Resort offers serviced sites on Heffley Lake with 15/30-amp power, water hookups, some sewer sites, a central washroom with showers, and Wi-Fi. Provincial park sites at Brush Creek are very rustic, with fire rings only, no potable water, and campsites better suited to smaller trailers and truck campers than large motorhomes.
This is bear country. Store food and garbage securely, keep dogs leashed, and give any wildlife encountered a wide berth. Expect cool alpine evenings even in midsummer at Sun Peaks village elevation.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Sun Peaks Mountain, BC
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Sun Peaks Mountain, BC?
An RV rental in Sun Peaks Mountain is one of the most affordable ways to experience BC's interior mountains. On RVezy, motorhomes near Sun Peaks Mountain average around $200 CAD per night, while travel trailers and tent trailers come in closer to $120 CAD per night. Many hosts offer discounts for weekly stays, so a 7-night Sun Peaks RV trip can bring your nightly rate down. To find a cheap RV rental in Sun Peaks Mountain, book mid-week dates in the June or September shoulder season, filter by your exact sleeps count, and look for Instant Book listings to lock in pricing fast.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Sun%20Peaks%2C%20British%20ColumbiaWhat license do I need to rent an RV in Sun Peaks Mountain, British Columbia?
A regular Class 5 driver's license from any Canadian province or US state is all you need to rent an RV in Sun Peaks Mountain. No special motorhome endorsement or commercial license is required, even for larger Class A or Class C motorhomes booked through RVezy. Visiting from overseas? Bring your home country license plus an International Driving Permit, which most auto clubs issue for a small fee. Approved drivers on RVezy are generally 25 or older, and identity verification happens right in the app so pickup day is quick and you're on the road to the mountain faster.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat kind of protection comes with my Sun Peaks Mountain RV rental?
Every RV rental in Sun Peaks Mountain booked through RVezy includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can focus on the mountain views, not the what-ifs. The plan covers most physical damage to the RV during your trip, and you choose your preferred coverage level during checkout, not the host. While it isn't traditional auto insurance, it gives renters real financial peace of mind on winding mountain roads like Sun Peaks Road. Pro tip: take a quick walkaround video at pickup and drop-off so any pre-existing scratches are clearly documented.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat happens if I need to cancel my Sun Peaks Mountain RV trip?
Booking is low-risk: RVezy sets the cancellation policy for every rental, not individual hosts, and it includes a money-back grace period right after you book so you can lock in your dates with confidence. The exact refund amount after the grace period depends on how far out you are from your trip start. Sun Peaks Mountain weather can shift fast, so we recommend booking early for the July long weekend and Christmas week, then reviewing the cancellation details on your booking page. RVezy's support team is available 7 days a week to help if plans change.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a Sun Peaks Mountain RV rental?
Absolutely, and Sun Peaks Mountain is one of the most dog-friendly mountain villages in BC. To find a pet-friendly RV rental in Sun Peaks Mountain, toggle the Pet-Friendly filter on RVezy and message the host about your dog's size and breed. The Sun Peaks Resort P2 campground allows leashed dogs, and you'll find dog-friendly trails like the McGillivray Lake loop just minutes from the village. Heffley Lake, about 15 km down the mountain, is a favourite for water-loving pups. Bring a tie-out, collapsible bowl, and bear-aware food storage since black bears are common in summer.
sunpeaksresort.com/plan-your-trip/things-to-do/dog-friendlyCan the RV be delivered to Sun Peaks Mountain for me?
Yes, RV delivery in Sun Peaks Mountain is one of the smartest moves for first-timers, especially because the climb up Sun Peaks Road from Highway 5 gains nearly 1,000 metres of elevation over a winding paved route. Many RVezy hosts in Kamloops and the surrounding Thompson region will deliver and set up your motorhome rental in Sun Peaks Mountain directly at the resort's P2 campground or at Heffley Lake. Filter by Delivery on RVezy, message the host with your arrival date, and confirm the delivery fee, which is usually based on distance from Kamloops. You'll arrive to a fully set-up RV and a personal walkthrough, no mountain driving required.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Sun%20Peaks%2C%20British%20ColumbiaHow far can I travel from Sun Peaks Mountain on an RV road trip?
A Sun Peaks Mountain RV trip puts you in the heart of BC's best road-trip country. From the resort village, you can reach Kamloops in about 45 minutes, Wells Gray Provincial Park and Helmcken Falls in roughly 2.5 hours, Shuswap Lake's houseboating hub of Sicamous in about 1.5 hours, Revelstoke in around 3 hours, and Banff National Park in 6 to 7 hours via the Trans-Canada. Many RVezy hosts offer rentals with unlimited mileage or generous daily allowances, so always check the mileage policy on the listing. Pro tip: book your first night near Kamloops to get comfortable with the RV before heading up Sun Peaks Road.
sunpeaksresort.com/plan-your-trip/getting-hereWhere are the best campgrounds near Sun Peaks Mountain?
You're spoiled for choice. The best campgrounds near Sun Peaks Mountain include the Sun Peaks Resort RV Campground in Parking Lot 2, with self-contained sites a short walk from the village lifts (typically open mid-May to mid-October); Heffley Lake Recreation Site, a rustic BC Rec Sites spot about 15 km down the mountain; and Roche Lake Provincial Park, about 45 minutes south, known for excellent fishing. Lac Le Jeune Provincial Park is another reservable option not far from Kamloops. For full hookups, Cottonwood Cove RV Resort on Shuswap Lake is a popular choice. Book Sun Peaks Resort sites as soon as summer reservations open in the spring.
sunpeaksresort.com/lodging/rv-campingWhen is the best time to visit Sun Peaks Mountain in an RV?
Sun Peaks Mountain is a true year-round destination, and the best time depends on your style. For RV camping in Sun Peaks Mountain, mid-June through mid-September is prime: daytime highs typically run 20 to 26°C and nights cool to around 8 to 12°C. July and August offer long sunny days ideal for the resort's lift-accessed hiking and mountain biking. September brings golden larches and quieter campgrounds. Winter RVers can stay overnight in Parking Lot 5 from late November through early May, parked at the base of the Morrisey and Orient chairlifts. Sun Peaks averages around 6 metres of snow each winter, making it a powder-day paradise.

Will I be able to handle it in Sun Peaks Mountain?
Yes, and you're in great hands. First time renting an RV in Sun Peaks Mountain is easier than most people expect because RVezy hosts give every guest a hands-on orientation at pickup, walking you through propane, water, slide-outs, levelling, and the dump procedure. You can also message your host directly through the listing page before booking with any nervous questions. For extra confidence, choose a smaller Class B campervan or a 20- to 24-foot Class C motorhome for your first Sun Peaks Mountain trip; they handle the climb up Sun Peaks Road far more comfortably than a 35-foot Class A. Better yet, book delivery and skip the mountain driving entirely.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat happens if something goes wrong with the RV during my Sun Peaks Mountain trip?
You're never alone out there. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the renter protection plan, covering things like flat tires, dead batteries, lockouts, and towing if needed. Sun Peaks Mountain sits roughly 56 km from Kamloops, the largest service centre in BC's interior, so help can usually reach you quickly via Highway 5 and Sun Peaks Road. You can also message your host directly through the RVezy app; most are local to Kamloops or the Thompson region and know exactly which mechanic or RV shop to recommend. RVezy's support team is reachable 7 days a week before, during, and after your trip.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Sun Peaks Mountain RV rental across the US border or to Alberta?
Cross-border and cross-province RV trips are often possible. Many RVezy hosts in the Kamloops and Sun Peaks Mountain region allow travel into Alberta (Banff, Jasper, Lake Louise) and across the US border into Washington, Idaho, and Montana. Message the host on the listing before booking to confirm and to ensure your protection coverage applies. One firm rule: travel to Mexico is not permitted on any RVezy rental, as insurance and protection coverage do not extend there. Popular routes from Sun Peaks Mountain include the Icefields Parkway loop toward Jasper and a Pacific Northwest swing south through Osoyoos into Washington.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityWhat should I budget for fuel on a Sun Peaks Mountain RV trip?
Fuel is the second-biggest line item after the rental, and it's easy to estimate. Class C motorhomes near Sun Peaks Mountain typically get 14 to 18 MPG (16 to 20 L/100 km), Class B campervans 20 to 24 MPG, and travel trailers depend on your tow vehicle. Gas prices in Kamloops are usually a bit cheaper than Vancouver or Whistler, so it's worth filling up there or in Heffley Creek before heading up Sun Peaks Road since the village has limited fuel options. Budget tip: a 4-night loop from Kamloops to Sun Peaks Mountain to Shuswap Lake typically burns $150 to $250 in fuel.
www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/industry/natural-gas-oil/petroleum-products/fuel-pricesHow far in advance should I book a campground near Sun Peaks Mountain?
Book early and you'll thank yourself. Sun Peaks Resort opens its P2 campground reservations in the spring each year for the May to October summer season, and the busiest July and August weekends sell out within days. BC Provincial Parks like Roche Lake and nearby Lac Le Jeune go live on the BC Parks reservation system four months ahead of arrival date. Heffley Lake Recreation Site is first-come, first-served, so plan to arrive Thursday for a weekend spot. For Sun Peaks Mountain long weekends, lock in your RVezy rental and your campground at the same time, ideally 3 to 6 months out for July and August.
camping.bcparks.ca/What are driving conditions like on the way up to Sun Peaks Mountain?
Sun Peaks Road is a well-maintained, fully paved route off Highway 5 at Heffley Creek, with gentle to moderate grades and wide sweeping curves that most RVs handle easily in dry conditions. Expect a steady climb of nearly 1,000 metres of elevation from the valley up to the village, with cell service throughout. From October 1 through April 30, BC law requires winter tires or chains on Highway 5 and Sun Peaks Road, so confirm with your RVezy host that the RV is properly equipped. Watch for wildlife like deer, moose, and the occasional black bear at dawn and dusk, and check DriveBC for real-time conditions before you roll.
drivebc.ca/What amenities will I find at Sun Peaks Mountain area campgrounds?
Expect a mix of resort-style and rustic. The Sun Peaks Resort P2 campground offers a gravel pad, picnic table, potable water access, washrooms, and a summer-only sani-dump nearby; RVs must be self-contained as there are no hookups. Heffley Lake Recreation Site is rustic with pit toilets and no hookups. Provincial parks like Roche Lake have pit toilets, potable water taps, and a dump station. For full hookups (water, sewer, 30/50 amp), Cottonwood Cove RV Resort on Shuswap Lake is about 90 minutes east and a popular choice for travellers wanting full services.
sunpeaksresort.com/lodging/rv-campingWhat's included inside a typical Sun Peaks Mountain RV rental?
You'll be impressed by how turnkey RVezy rentals are. A typical motorhome rental in Sun Peaks Mountain comes fully equipped with a queen or king bed, convertible dinette or bunks, a full kitchen (fridge, propane stove, microwave, sink, cookware, dishes), a bathroom with toilet and shower, furnace, air conditioning, and seatbelted seats for everyone travelling. Many listings include a built-in generator or solar setup, which is handy since the P2 campground has no electrical hookups. Many hosts add Wi-Fi hotspots, outdoor BBQs, camp chairs, and bedding kits. Check the listing's amenities tab carefully, and message your host if you want to confirm specifics like an outdoor shower or roof-mounted solar.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Sun%20Peaks%2C%20British%20ColumbiaWhat add-ons and mileage policies should I expect for a Sun Peaks Mountain rental?
Hosts on RVezy set their own pricing, add-ons, and mileage allowances, which gives you real flexibility for your Sun Peaks Mountain RV trip. Common add-ons include bedding and linen kits, kitchen kits, camp chairs and tables, generators, BBQs, and bike or kayak carriers. Many Kamloops-area hosts offer unlimited mileage for local trips up to Sun Peaks Mountain, while longer hauls to Banff or Vancouver Island may include a daily kilometre allowance with a small overage fee. Pickup and drop-off are typically at the host's home in Kamloops or Heffley Creek, but delivery to the P2 campground is widely offered. Always confirm the mileage policy on the listing before booking.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Sun%20Peaks%2C%20British%20ColumbiaHow does payment and the security deposit work on RVezy for a Sun Peaks Mountain rental?
Payment is simple and fully handled through RVezy, so you never exchange cash or e-transfers with the host. You pay your booking total with a credit card right in the platform, and a refundable security deposit (typically a few hundred to a couple thousand dollars depending on the RV) is pre-authorized on your card a few days before your trip starts. As long as you return the RV on time, clean, undamaged, and with the agreed fuel and propane levels, the hold is released after your trip ends. Pro tip: take a thorough walkaround video at pickup and drop-off to avoid disputes and get your deposit back quickly.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksCan I rent an RV in Sun Peaks Mountain for a winter ski trip?
Yes, and it's a uniquely Canadian way to ski. Sun Peaks Mountain is one of the few major BC resorts to offer dedicated winter RV camping, with overnight sites at Parking Lot 5 (P5) at the base of the Morrisey Express and Orient chairlifts during the ski season. Sites are dry with no hookups, so look for an RVezy rental with a strong furnace, heated holding tanks, dual-pane windows, and a generator or solar package. Average January temperatures sit around -8°C to -2°C in the village. Have your host confirm winter tires are installed, fill propane before leaving Kamloops, and you're set for ski-in, ski-out RV life.
