Lodging and Camping

This recreation site, located on the southwest side of Campbell Lake, provides opportunities for camping, boating, and fishing. The recreation site was developed to provide gravelled camp-site pads. The site also has a wheelchair accessible outhouse and adjacent camping spot. The gravelled cartop boat launch is sufficient to launch small trailered boats, and there is also a day use parking area. The lake is a very popular fishing destination and is sometimes prone to winter/summer fish kills. Dogs must be leashed at all times.

The site is located near Kamloops, southeast of Barnhartvale. Access to the site is via 2 wheel drive vehicles; however the road is narrow and windy in places, and suffers from wash boarding. Access to the site is off Highway 1, east of Kamloops. Travel along Barnhartvale Road until the intersection with Robins Range Road. Turn right onto Robins Range Road.

Six New Spots to Fish This Autumn Campbell and Scuitto Lakes – Rainbow Trout Bordered on the south by Douglas fir forest and with rolling grasslands to the north, Campbell and Scuitto lakes lie approximately 30 kilometres southeast of Kamloops. Access to these lakes is via the Scuitto Lake Forest Service Road which, although gravel, is suitable for campers and travel-trailers. The road passes along the north shore of Scuitto Lake, which offers undeveloped camping and car-top boat launching. Another 2.5 kilometres past Scuitto is the Campbell Lake Provincial Recreation Site, which provides designated campsites and a launch for trailered boats. Both lakes literally teem with willing-to-strike 25- to 40-centimetre (10- to 16-inch) rainbow trout. This is the perfect lake to introduce someone to fishing, whether it be trolling lures or fly-fishing for the very first time.
