Peaceful and private. Sleeping to the sound of the river flowing and crickets chirping is my idea of the best lullaby. A short jaunt away is a little swimming hole to enjoy on those hot summer days as well. A big thank you to Bryan and Karen for sharing this gem of a spot!!

It's a nice spot to stay with friendly hosts and wide open views of the surrounding hills. You'll be in a grassy fenced in area with no amenities too far away. NOTE: Double check the destination if tapping directly from the Hipcamp app to Google Maps because the first place it sent us was down the wrong road. We had to type in the actual address, then we got there okay.

Weekend Trip to Grandview Acres

We are long time campers but Grandview Acres was our first time as "hipcampers" and it was great. The property was pretty, close to Kamloops, but far enough to be very quiet. The directions were perfect, good fast response and we had a nice conversation with Rick and Ada who were very friendly. They also graciously accommodated our request to shut off the string of solar lights along the fence where we pitched our tent so we could see stars and not have lights shining on us all night. There is a metal firepit so even though there was a burn ban other campers had a camp fire. We were visited by a young buck in the morning, on the other side of the fence. As other reviewers mentioned, having only one washroom was a slight problem. Another minor problem was the water spigot which was a little hard to turn and sprayed you if you stood in front of it. We will happily stay there again if we return to the area.

This was a great one-night stop for us in the middle of a longer trip. It’s an open field, so no privacy, but the toilet and sink were great and the views are lovely. We would definitely stay here again.
