A beautiful creek flows right by the campsite, dip your feet in. You can go for walks or nap under the Aspens! Spring note - snow has been melting and the ground is unthawing - please feel free to send me a message if you have any question about the gravel road.

We do not recommend traveling this road in the dark if you are not familiar with it! Wonderfully private! Come give our land some love as it recovers from the 2021 Sparks Lake forest fire.

Weekend Trip to 7 Sparks Ranch

This is such a beautiful spot and the Host, Jo-Anne is amazing. Jo-Anne reached out the week before to update me on some poor weather that was potentially coming through, and ensure I had detailed directions. She is an attentive host, sharing hiking trails/places of interest, and the history of their time on their land yet not at all intrusive and allows privacy. She gave me a gift of a loaf of homemade bread that was so delicious and made THE BEST toast, such a treat! The spot itself was large, very private and quiet. Clean outhouse close by as well. TONS of birds of all sorts ( little robin nesting in the willows right by camp that I watched add to her nest), frogs at night, and the star gazing is breathtaking. I felt completely safe as a solo camper. The drive is quite beautiful, the road was completely fine, tho narrow at points, if you drive to the conditions in daylight it’s completely manageable. An absolute must is the hike to the lake. A lovely hike through the woods on well worn trails that opens to this incredible meadow with a storybook lake. Ducks and Geese with their babies and so much to explore. Such a special place, thank you for sharing it. I look forward to returning in the future :)

Roche Lake Provincial Park camping guide

Overview

About

Set high on the Thompson Plateau, one small creature draws the vast majority of visitors to this park—rainbow trout. Seven of the park’s lakes are stocked with this colourful sport fish, and together, they form a world-class fishing destination. Two are easy to reach, as both Horseshoe Lake and the namesake Roche Lake sit along gravel roads. The other five? You’ll have to work a little harder, hiking along informal trails through Douglas fir forest. Along the way, you may spot anything from moose to mule deer, as well as a wide variety of birds, including mountain bluebirds and vesper sparrows. Then settle in for the night at a waterfront campsite.

Notable campgrounds

Best for the chance at a spot: Roche Lake West has 21 of the park’s 33 sites.
Best for groups: Roche Lake North has the most open space.
Best for a slightly more private experience: Horseshoe Lake is the smallest campground with just a handful of sites.

Tips for snagging a campsite

All sites are available on a first-come, first-served basis—you can’t reserve in advance. If you want to be assured a spot in summer, especially on holiday weekends, arrive early in the day and hope for the best.

When to go

While campsites are serviced between May and September, this is a year-round park. Summers tend to be hot and dry, and can be a bit dusty, but this is the prime time to camp with warm day-time temperatures and chillier evenings, especially late into August. If you come in May or September, be prepared to bundle up at night. And while winter is cold and snowy, it’s perfect for ice fishing or for skiing and snowshoeing on the informal trails.

Know before you go

Anglers in BC must be in possession of a valid fishing license—you can get one at most places that sell fishing supplies.
Black bears are active in the area, so keep your food in your vehicle and immediately deposit garbage in bear-proof receptacles.
If you need to make a call but can’t get a signal, there’s an old-school pay phone at Roche Lake Resort, on the same road used by the park.
For grocery, hardware, and a good selection of stores selling camping gear, head to Kamloops, about 45 minutes north.
