The city of Kamloops, British Columbia, is around 220 miles to the northeast of Vancouver, one of the largest cities in all of Canada. Situated in Thompson Valley near the confluence of two river branches, and the eponymous Kamloops Lake, Kamloops has always been known for its incredible positioning close to many different provincial and national parks.

The name Kamloops comes from the local native tribe’s word, "Tk'əmlúps", which means “meeting of the waters”. The area was once quite important to these First Nations tribes, but with the arrival of settlers in 1811, the landscape would forever change. Fur traders poured into Thompson Valley from all over the country to capitalize on the rich natural resources of British Columbia, establishing the city of Kamloops and setting the stage for what it would later become.

In the present day, Kamloops is a modern-day city with a strong economy, lots of attractions, and a unique local culture. Tourism has since become one of the major industries, with nearly two million visitors enjoying the lovely city and its surroundings each year. It doesn’t hurt that this up-and-coming hidden gem is centrally located in the province so taking your Kamloops RV rental to other noteworthy cities and places is convenient and easy. Getting to and from town is a breeze with train, plane, and bus service in addition to the Trans-Canada Highway 1 that runs through the south of the city. Between the delightful culture, stunning natural beauty, and the city’s love for celebrations like the Kamloops Wine Festival or the Brewloops Beer Festival, it is no wonder why so many people choose to visit the city, or better yet, book an RV in Kamloops, British Columbia.

Explore the Outdoors

Using a Kamloops motorhome rental when visiting the area allows for thourough explorations of the countless surrounding natural paradises. Even within the city, there are some fun little parks that will enable you to enjoy the outdoors. Pioneer Park is a prime example of Kamloops’ beauty and love of the great outdoors, with lovely riverfront beaches and trails to hike, jog, or walk your dog. The boat ramp located on Thompson River is great for kayaking, canoeing, or putting your motorboat in the water, and fishing too.

MacArthur Island Park is the most impressive in Kamloops, with several baseball fields, soccer fields, a golf course, an ice hockey rink, an event center, and a skate park. There are also several walking trails and park benches located around the island for people to walk and enjoy the views.

When you rent an RV in Kamloops, there is no question that you should take a road trip in search of British Columbia’s world-class wilderness areas and stunning parks.

The protected area is a popular place to hike and mountain bike, or even take panoramic pictures of the surreal landscape or darkened night sky.

Bonaparte Provincial Park is a geological hotspot where magma and lava have shaped the landscape considerably. The numerous lakes are a sight to behold in the high elevation subalpine forests, where backpacking and trekking are the only ways to reach the wilderness areas. Wells Gray Provincial Park is a much larger wilderness area north of Bonaparte Provincial Park and an excellent place to bring your Kamloops camper rental. This massive park features several high mountain peaks and even some volcanoes. The park’s lakes make for refreshing swims in the summer, but the waterfalls are the true main attraction at Wells Gray. Helmcken Falls is the star of the show at 450 feet. During the harsh winters, the waterfalls become fascinating ice sculptures. Cariboo Mountains Provincial Park and Bowron Lake Provincial Park are attached to the park making the combined area a super park.
