Kamloops Island Campground

We had a great time, in spite of a few challenges. #1, the folks next to us chose to run their generator ALL DAY LONG! THIS REALLY RUINS THE WHOLE CAMPING EXPERIENCE FOR ME. #2 For two elderly ladies to have to haul our kayaks down a steep hill to get them in the water was frustrating...but hauling them back UP the hill was too hard, especially in the heat. And by the way, the garbage dumpster was overflowing. What's up with that? Toilets were clean and well stocked though.

Night 1 was quiet.
Night 2 had a big group party. Generators till 12pm
Plus 6 boats tied thier boats together on the lake and partied till 3 am.
Night 3 a big group of girl and thier tech no music till 3.
No sleep. People driving in all hours of the day amd night dropping off thier garbage. Plus the fact you couldn't go to the water as the photos lead us to believe. I have to express not the worst but not really a great site either.

There was broken glass all over the roadway in and at the tent sites. Also drunken teenagers in the middle of the note. 2am. Walking thru the tent site

The campsite was very nice and clean over the weekend the toiletries were well stocked. During my stay the grounds were mowed and well maintained.

Turn ons: small, cozy, scenic setting.
Turn offs: no fresh water source, despite spigots being indicated on a map at the entrance kiosk…

I was a late season visitor, having camped there Friday October 7th. I was the only one in the camp ground, which I was doing on my motorcycle. However, two families stopped and had a picnic or stretch in the walk-in campsites while I was there. Generally the campground was tidy however, there were no garbage receptacles; as such, many people had left their garbage in the fire pits. The fire pits were closed for a fire ban. It was clear that the campground had not been serviced in a couple of weeks as there were still tags from camping reservations on the posts from the third week of September. The out houses were tidy and stocked. I actually deposited my garbage in a garbage can inside one out house, though I doubt that that receptacle had been intended for that purpose. When I passed by Kettle Falls camp ground, I stopped and took a look just for fun. I noted that there was a garbage container there but still, only one camper.

We pulled in un-planned, with no reservations. Having to pay for the spot on line was a pain in the ... I would rather have a paybox and envelopes. I had to have internet service and do it all on my phone which did not scan for QR codes. The campground itself was very nice and quiet.

Campground is nice, but lots of ants. We always expect bugs, but they were in overdrive. Neighbors were very loud late into the night. Campsite 3 has lots of room and privacy.

Very nice campground and well kept. Sites are pretty spread out and large. There are a lot of detourants from bee's and moths. You only have to worry about mosquitoes lol. Only downside is there is really no access to the water with kyaks and no boat launch. You have to pack kyaks through the tent sites to get to the water and it's steep coming back up. We had to load our kyaks and go up river. Other than that it's beautiful!

Verily clean and quiet campground right on the lake. Located very convenient before crossing the border.
