Kamloops Island Campground

Nestled at the confluence of the Kettle and Columbia Rivers, Kamloops Island Campground offers a serene escape in the heart of the Pacific Northwest. This USFS-managed site is defined by its lush vegetation and shady groves, providing a peaceful retreat for those looking to disconnect. Whether you are setting up in the main hub or choosing one of the secluded walk-in tent sites tucked among the pines, you will be treated to sweeping views of the surrounding river landscape.

The campground is well-suited for both tent campers and RV travelers who prefer a rustic, off-grid experience. Because there are no utility hookups, guests should arrive prepared for self-contained camping. On-site amenities include convenient fire rings and picnic tables at each site, making it easy to enjoy outdoor meals by the water. For those bringing gear, the area features a courtesy dock and dedicated fishing access, perfect for anglers or those who enjoy being out on the water.

With a modest fee of just $10, Kamloops Island provides an accessible and affordable basecamp for year-round exploration. It is an ideal destination for outdoor enthusiasts who appreciate a natural setting and easy access to river activities. While the terrain is best suited for those comfortable with a moderate experience level, the scenic beauty and quiet atmosphere make it a hidden gem in Washington.
