Campsite AtlasKamloops Island Campground
Kamloops Island is a small, shady campground at the mouth of the Kettle River. The main hub of campsites is tucked into the vegetation at the top and can fit tents and RVs. A cluster of walk-in tent sites is spread out in a grove of pines. Many campsites offer views of the river, lake, and surrounding landscape. There is a courtesy dock, but no boat launch. Kamloops Island is a beautiful little campground surrounded by the Columbia River on one side and the Kettle River on the other. During the draw down when the water is low the geological beauty comes out in the ravine cut by the Kettle River. This campground is very popular for fishermen and familes alike.
