It serves as an ideal base for travelers exploring the interior of British Columbia, offering spacious sites and a quiet, relaxing atmosphere along the scenic banks of the Coldwater River. Whether you are passing through on a long journey or staying to explore the local landscape, the park provides a welcoming environment for all types of RVers.
Location & Surroundings
Situated in a valley famous for its ranching history and country music heritage, the park sits near the junction of several major highways. The landscape is characterized by rolling hills, sagebrush-covered mountains, and lush riverbanks. Its proximity to the Coquihalla Highway makes it an incredibly accessible stop for those traveling between the Lower Mainland and the Okanagan. Despite its convenient access, the park remains tucked away enough to ensure a scenic environment that feels connected to the rugged wilderness of the Nicola Valley.

Large, level pull-through sites easily accommodate big rigs, while private fire pits at each site allow for classic camping evenings under the stars. Essential facilities help make your stay comfortable, including:

These amenities ensure that travelers have everything they need for a stress-free stay, whether they are here for a single night or a month.

I called 2 hours out needing a place to stay for one night. Gayle was friendly and thorough on the phone. She was able to accommodate our 35’ fifth wheel. She was lovely when we arrived and gave us a pull through site. It was just what we needed for the night. Bathrooms were very clean and staff was friendly.

We (husband, daughter, 2 dogs and myself) traveled here in a camper van and stayed for 1 night in the beginning of August 2025. We didn't reserve a spot ahead of time and just drove up and asked if there was still anything available. The man behind the counter was very friendly and told us there were still some sites available. We chose a site with only electricity, which cost about $38 CAD including taxes. At the campground, there was a small shop, restrooms, and showers near the office. We were quite a distance from the restroom/shower building, but that wasn't a problem. We received codes to get into the restroom/shower buildings and a Wi-Fi password. Our campervan happened to be parked next to a Wi-Fi pole, so we had no problem connecting. The showers are free, and the entire building with showers and restrooms was very clean and tidy. You can also access the Coldwater River from the campsite. I highly recommend this campground to anyone who happens to be in Merritt and is looking for a campsite.

Wonderful place, nice and clean. We celebrated my daughter’s birthday here with families and friends and it was a blast. Our campsite is just near on the river and the kids love it(running water). Beautiful scenery, they also have little store in the place👍. The owner was so friendly and very helpful. Highly recommended to everyone❤️Kudos👍

Beautiful site. Right beside a flowing river. Very easy to find. My wife and I are making our way from Calgary through to the coast. Called for a site the same day and left a message. We were quickly called back by Gale, who was very friendly. She even gave us a fair warning about a music festival in the area, just in case we’d would be bothered by noise. Check in was quick and easy with good signage. Mountains in the area are beautiful. Great for a drive or motorcycle ride with amazing views.
