RV Parks In Logan Lake, British Columbia

50.4998° N, 120.8025° W

Quick Overview

Logan Lake is a tidy little town in the heart of the Highland Valley on the plateau between Kamloops and Merritt, built around a lake and beloved by anglers for trophy rainbow trout. For RVers it is a relaxed, affordable base with an unusually good town campground and world-class fishing minutes away. The camping here spans all three ownership types: a public municipal campground right in town, a nearby public provincial park on famous trout lakes, and a private lakeside fishing resort, so you can pick your style and price.

The centerpiece is the Logan Lake Municipal Campground, run by the District of Logan Lake, with 50 lakeview sites, each RV site offering its own picnic table, fire pit, and 15- and 30-amp power, plus washrooms, hot showers, a boat launch for electric motors, a fish-cleaning station, and even free fishing rod rentals. It is remarkable value for a serviced, in-town lakeview site. About 20 minutes away, Tunkwa Provincial Park offers public BC Parks camping on Tunkwa and Leighton lakes, ranked among the top ten rainbow trout fisheries in the province, while Tunkwa Lake Resort adds a private lakeside option with RV sites, cabins, and boat rentals for anglers who want more amenities on the water.

Book summer weekends ahead, especially in prime trout season, when the fishing crowd fills the lakeside sites. Midweek is far quieter, and you can usually find a lakeview pad without a reservation. This is high-plateau country, so nights stay cool even in midsummer, and the season is centered on the warm months. The town itself packs in surprising extras within walking distance of the campground: hiking and biking trails, two disc golf courses, a bike park, a waterpark, and a golf course. We like Logan Lake for its easygoing pace, its genuine fishing pedigree, and a municipal campground that punches well above its price.

Traveling to Logan Lake by RV

Logan Lake sits on the Highland Valley plateau, reached via Highway 97C, the Coquihalla Connector, and Highway 5, the Coquihalla. It is about an hour southwest of Kamloops via Highways 5 and 97C, and roughly 45 minutes northwest of Merritt on Highway 97C. Both highways are modern, well-maintained mountain routes with no RV restrictions, though they climb and descend real grades, so gear down on the long downhills and keep an eye on brake temperatures in a heavy rig.

The plateau setting means cooler temperatures and quick weather changes, so travel prepared. Wildlife can appear on the roads, particularly at dawn and dusk. There is no local airport; Kamloops has the nearest regional service about an hour away, with connections to Vancouver and Calgary. Fuel and basic groceries are available in Logan Lake, but for a fuller selection, stock up in Kamloops or Merritt before settling in. The municipal campground is right in town, making it an easy, central place to base an area fishing trip.

Before You Go: RV Trip Essentials

Dump stations are only one piece of the trip puzzle. Before you set out for your trip to Logan Lake, British Columbia, it's worth taking thirty minutes to check that the basics are in place — the four areas below are where unprepared RVers most often get stung.

Check your RV insurance coverage

A standard auto policy rarely covers a Class A, Class C, or travel trailer the way a dedicated RV insurance policy does. If you're financing a motorhome, lenders typically require comprehensive and collision; full-timers should additionally price in vacation liability and personal belongings coverage. Rates vary widely by state and travel pattern — compare quotes from multiple RV-focused carriers before each season.

Know your roadside assistance options

RV-specific roadside plans tow motorhomes and trailers that regular AAA coverage won't touch — flat beds, mobile mechanics, tire service for duallies, and even emergency lockouts at remote campgrounds. Good plans cover your spouse and trailer even if you're driving a separate vehicle, and some include trip interruption reimbursement if a breakdown costs you a reservation.

Decide about an extended warranty early

Original manufacturer warranties on new RVs typically run 12–24 months — shorter than most buyers realize. An extended service contract (essentially a mechanical breakdown policy) covers the appliances, slides, levelling systems, and drivetrain components that can run $3,000–$10,000 to replace. The time to price one is before the factory coverage expires, not after something breaks.

Set up a travel rewards card for fuel and fees

A no-annual-fee travel or gas rewards card pays for itself on a single month of RV travel. Expect to spend $400–$800 per week combined on fuel, campgrounds, and propane — 3–5% cash back on gas alone covers the next oil change. For bigger trips, a sign-up bonus can offset campground fees for the whole season.

Dump Station Costs in Logan Lake

Logan Lake is one of the best camping values in the BC interior. The municipal campground charges modest rates, typically in the $20s to low $30s per night for a powered lakeview site with showers, a boat launch, and those free rod rentals, which is excellent for a serviced, in-town lakeside spot. Tunkwa Provincial Park runs standard BC Parks rates in the $20s for unserviced sites, and offers a mix of first-come and reservable camping. Tunkwa Lake Resort, being private with more amenities and lake access, sits somewhat higher, often in the $30s to $40s. Forest recreation sites in the surrounding hills are free or nominal but unserviced. Budget extra for fishing licenses, boat rentals if you want them, and the small pleasures of the area. Overall, this is affordable country, and the municipal campground in particular delivers rare value for the money.

Explore the Logan Lake Area

Non-motorized and electric-motor boating is the norm on Logan Lake, so leave the big outboard behind. Fuel and stock up in Kamloops or Merritt before a longer stay, since local selection is limited.

How far ahead should I reserve a campsite in Logan Lake?

For summer weekends, especially during prime trout season, book ahead, since the lakeside sites at the municipal campground and around Tunkwa fill with the fishing crowd. A week or two of notice usually suffices outside long weekends. Tunkwa Provincial Park offers a mix of first-come and reservable sites, so check availability and arrive early for the first-come loops. Midweek stays are much easier throughout the season, and spring and fall offer relaxed availability. For a guaranteed powered lakeview site in town, reserving the municipal campground ahead in peak summer is the safe bet.

When is the best time to go RV camping in Logan Lake?

Summer, roughly June through August, is the main season, with the best weather and prime family activity, though the high-plateau nights stay cool even in July. Anglers love both early summer and fall, when the rainbow trout fishing on Tunkwa and Leighton lakes is at its best and crowds thin out. Fall is quiet and beautiful but cools quickly, with some services winding down. Winter is cold and snowy, with most campgrounds closed and the area turning to ice fishing and snowmobiling. For the best mix of weather and fishing, target early summer or September.

Can big rigs camp in Logan Lake?

Big rigs can camp here, but scout your site, since some lakeview and lakeside spots at the municipal campground and provincial park are compact or better suited to mid-size rigs. The highways in, Highway 97C and Highway 5, are modern mountain routes with no RV restrictions and handle any size rig, though they include real grades, so manage your brakes on the long descents. Tunkwa Lake Resort and the more open sites can suit larger RVs. For the biggest coaches, call ahead to confirm site length at your chosen campground and pick a pull-through or larger back-in where available.

Is Logan Lake good for fishing?

It is excellent, and fishing is the area's claim to fame. Logan Lake itself holds trophy-sized rainbow trout and is ideal for fly fishing and non-motorized boating right from the municipal campground, which even offers free rod rentals. Twenty minutes away, Tunkwa Provincial Park's Tunkwa and Leighton lakes rank among the top ten rainbow trout fisheries in the province, drawing anglers from across BC. Check the current freshwater fishing regulations for gear restrictions and limits, and note that many of these lakes favor electric or non-motorized boating. For a fishing-focused RV trip, Logan Lake is hard to beat.

Are there public or first-come camping options near Logan Lake?

Yes. The Logan Lake Municipal Campground is a public, District-run option right in town, and Tunkwa Provincial Park offers public BC Parks camping on the nearby trout lakes with a mix of first-come and reservable sites. Beyond these, Recreation Sites and Trails BC maintains forest and lakeside recreation sites in the surrounding Highland Valley, which are free or low-cost, unserviced, and first-come, suited to self-contained rigs. Arrive early on summer weekends for the first-come spots. For powered, serviced camping with amenities, though, the in-town municipal campground remains the easy, affordable choice for most visitors.

What is there to do in Logan Lake besides fishing?

More than you might expect for a small town. Within walking distance of the municipal campground you will find hiking and mountain-biking trails, two disc golf courses, a bike park, a playground, a waterpark, and a golf course, making it a genuinely good family base. The lake is pleasant for paddling and electric-motor boating. The surrounding Highland Valley and Gold Country region offer scenic drives and mining history, including the massive Highland Valley Copper operation nearby.

Are pets allowed at Logan Lake campgrounds?

Generally yes. The municipal campground and most area sites welcome leashed pets, and BC Parks allows leashed dogs at Tunkwa Provincial Park, though it is always worth confirming the specific policy when you book. The lake and trails give dogs good places to walk and cool off. Keep pets leashed, clean up after them, and store food securely, since this is wildlife country. The cool high-plateau nights are comfortable for dogs, but bring water for warm summer afternoons and on the trails. Never leave a pet in a hot rig during the midday summer heat.

Where can I dump my tanks near Logan Lake?

The municipal campground has facilities to fill fresh water and dump tanks for registered campers, and area serviced campgrounds may offer sani-dump stations as well. If you are camping at unserviced Tunkwa Provincial Park or forest recreation sites, plan your dump around the serviced campground or a town facility, and Kamloops has additional options.
