Situated in McLure, BC, the park is conveniently located just off the Yellowhead Highway. This location puts visitors approximately 45 minutes north of Kamloops, making it an excellent midpoint for those traveling toward Clearwater or Jasper. The surrounding area is defined by the North Thompson River, which flows nearby, offering guests a lush, green backdrop and the opportunity to experience the rugged beauty of the Thompson-Nicola region while staying close to primary travel routes.

Outdoor enthusiasts can head to Sun Peaks Resort for year-round mountain adventures or explore the vast trail networks of the region. Fishing and boating on the North Thompson River are popular pastimes, while the vibrant city of Kamloops offers shopping and local dining. For those willing to drive further north, the stunning waterfalls of Wells Gray Provincial Park are within reach for a day trip.

We spent one night at the lovely Pinegrove Campground on our way from Vancouver to Jasper National Park. Cindy was so friendly & welcoming and kindly accommodated us at the last minute (we phoned 30 minutes ahead of arriving). Not only did she sort us out with a pitch with full hook up (water and electric), she also provided us with some fantastic recommendations of places to stop on the rest of our route to Jasper - thanks to her, we hiked under waterfalls at Wells Grey Provincial park and saw the stunning Kinney Lake at the foot of Mount Robson! The site was quiet despite being next to the highway, the bathrooms were clean and adequate, there is a small on-site shop, and best of all the smell of the pine trees fills the air in the morning. A hidden gem, and definitely worth the extra 30 minute drive past Kamloops rather than staying in a campsite near the town if you’re on route to/from Jasper. Thank you Cindy!

Stayed with an RV for 1 night recently to break our trip from Whistler to Jasper. Cindy looked after us well and allocated a new pitch just inside the entrance, which suited us well despite some minor traffic noise from the nearby road. The washrooms were warm and clean.

Very friendly host. Helpful and available. We had a private spot which we appreciated. Enjoyed feeding the chickens and a little rabbit came to visit. Loved watching her eat an apple very close to us. Interesting atmosphere with large field for dogs to run, badminton, horseshoes, gazebo and friendly neighbour's. Looking forward to returning and feeding apples to the horse.

Renegade 38ft with Jeep in tow. Camped here 4 nights late June on the way to Jasper. Paid cash CAD. Cindy led us to site 21, pull thru. Didn't have to unhook. Then she gave us area maps and told us all about the hikes & areas of interest. Very informative. Our site was spacious and I didn't have to look at my neighbors sewer hose!! Big plus!! The park is built around the trees rather than "cut the trees down RV parks!" Loved our stay here.Two train tracks and the highway provide some background noise but not obtrusive.Park was WiFi speeds are low and the 5G was unreachable. Starlink was iffy in the trees but worked. AT&T was useable but not sure of data costs! We camped at Pinegrove Campground and R.V. Park in a Motorhome.

Lovely tenting experience here! The woman who checked us and was very sweet and friendly. She ended up giving us a nicer tent site that had a tarp covering which was handy and much appreciated in the rain. The facilities were great, always clean. It’s 1$ for a 4 minute shower and the outlets in the women’s washroom weren’t working, but that was the only issue we experienced while here. It’s a family oriented campground, so things are fairly quiet except the occasional train going by at night.
