Brookside Campsite
Overview
Brookside Campsite offers a welcoming and shaded retreat located right in the heart of Cache Creek, British Columbia. Positioned alongside the scenic Bonaparte River, this park serves as a lush oasis within the semi-arid interior of the province. It provides a peaceful atmosphere for travelers who are passing through or exploring the historic Cariboo region. The park is well-known for its mature trees that provide plenty of natural shade, making it a comfortable spot even during the warm summer months.
Location & Surroundings
The campsite is strategically situated near the junction of Highway 1 and Highway 97, serving as a primary gateway to the Gold Rush Trail. While the surrounding area of Cache Creek is characterized by its unique desert-like hills and dry climate, Brookside Campsite feels like a hidden forest. Guests can enjoy the soothing sounds of the water while remaining within walking distance of local shops and dining options in town. It is a perfect base for exploring the rugged Thompson-Nicola region.
Amenities & Park Features
The park is equipped to handle various types of rigs, offering a mix of back-in and spacious pull-through sites. Most sites provide full hookups, including 30 and 50 amp power options to suit modern RV needs. On-site facilities include clean washrooms with hot showers, coin-operated laundry, and complimentary Wi-Fi for staying connected. For those who enjoy traditional camping, the park offers fire pits at every site and provides firewood for purchase to complete the evening experience under the stars.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
A short drive from the park leads to Historic Hat Creek Ranch, where visitors can immerse themselves in the 19th-century history of the BC gold rush. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate being close to Steelhead Provincial Park for fishing and boating opportunities on Kamloops Lake. The area is also famous for its unique geology, offering plenty of trails for hiking and photography. Local events and farmers' markets in Cache Creek provide a taste of the community's rural charm and hospitality.
Who This Park Is Best For
Brookside Campsite is an ideal choice for long-distance travelers looking for a reliable and easy-to-access stopover between the coast and the Rockies. It is particularly well-suited for families and couples who appreciate a quiet, creek-side environment rather than a busy resort atmosphere. Whether you are driving a large motorhome or traveling in a small camper van, the park’s convenient location and essential amenities cater to those seeking comfort and simplicity on the road.

The new owners are friendly. It’s a nice place to camp The showers and toilets and pool are not working right now but they’re in the process of getting them all put together and back to working. They will have laundry machines there what will work as a working progress but they’re doing everything they can possibly do to get it done. The managers are very nice to talk to. They’re very friendly.

Although there are pictures on the website showing off a pool, public washrooms and a playground. Those are all things of the past. Under new management, there is no playground, no pool, no public washrooms, no wifi, and no customer service. If you simply need a place to crash with a full hook up, this is your place. If you are looking for anything other then that, move on. Was hoping to spend 4 days there, based on what was shown on the website. Arrived to a sign posted on the office, with my name on it, and instructions to pick my site. We left the next day. Never did even meet the site manager, as they stayed in the house the whole time.

Travelling from home to Williams lake to visit my dad in a care facility in the first week of July Sharon and I came across this RV site. Pulled in and we were very welcomed great family running the place and when we left we were very concerned about their safety due to the fires that were in the area that being said we had to turn around and head back to Kamloops and up North past Barrier we got to see dad at the end of the trip and zigzag our way back very thankful to the people who run this campsite friendly helpful and will stay again.We hope everybody’s OK!

Zero stars.. the young kid running it had nothing but a bad attitude

A bit bare... Better than a Walmart parking lot I guess! There is very little grass or play area for the kids, very little natural features. WiFi did not work. But it was quiet and provided the full hook-up we needed for the night. Not a place you want to linger in, so in the morning we hit the road. It did the job of giving us some rest.
