About Kamloops Island Campground

Kamloops Island is a small, shady campground at the mouth of the Kettle River. The main hub of campsites is tucked into the vegetation at the top and can fit tents and RVs. A cluster of walk-in tent sites is spread out in a grove of pines. Many campsites offer views of the river, lake, and surrounding landscape. There is a courtesy dock, but no boat launch.

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!

Bathroom was not clean. Highway traffic was loud. There was a man in a truck who kept driving around at night, and was sleeping in his truck without a campsite permit.

Beautiful location. Great shady location to relax by the water. Enjoyed the random military fly by at eye level. Once or twice a day, jets fly low over the lake. It needs a on site host to regulate the campers and parking.
Loop 1 has camp sites with parking. Loop 2 has a small lot big enough for the additional sites that you carry your camping supplies to. But loop 1 campers will fill and block the loop 2 parking lot with their additional vehicles and boats.
Also needs a host to curtail the people who hide in their cars and shoot up drugs into their veins. Had to ask county dispatch to send rangers a few times, but rarely took time to actually patrol the area.

Bathrooms were managed good enough, dumpster was overflowing until I called offsite management to attend to the issue.

Great place that could be better run with an on site host.

No directions our site loop which a parking lot. Had to hike downhill a 100 yards or so to get to site. Not happening at my age. Would have had to make min 4 trips. And then to pack it out. It may have said that on the reservation but I never saw it. We drove home. Very disappointing.
