This dump is easily accessible to any size rig and provided free by the town of Osoyoos. The town website says that it is only open May to Oct but it was open and accessible in April 2018. It is located directly adjacent to the street and there is no gate.

Also has water supply with a sign that says Potable Water but the spigot is right next to the dump which is a bit of a sanitation issue. If you fill here, be careful not to contaminate your hose.

Also called Quinsam Campground, this provincial park campground has a long row of sites backing onto the Quinsam River, plus two more rows of sites in the forest. No hookups at the sites but water spigots are located throughout the park, as is garbage and recycling bins. No flush toilets but there are multiple pit toilets throughout. Near the entrance is a sanidump station with a coin operated machine - $5 in loonies and toonies and anyone can dump here. Easily accessible with fresh water fill as well.

Great spot to camp for something affordable while very close to town. Campground is popular and busy but also has lots of sites. Reservations are recommended in peak season.

The Elk Falls Provincial Park Day Use area is another mile or so west from the campground where you can hike to the famous Elk Falls Suspension Bridge.

Good cell signal here since you are right in town.

Easy to find following signs. Large puddle at the entrance to the dump but no big deal. Bring loonies and toonies for the machine.

Rinse water at dump and separate fresh water fill. Perfect! Thank you Pemberton!

RV Dump is located in the breezeway between two buildings with good accessibility and high clearance. Located less than 1 km drive off hwy 17 and close to the ferry terminal.

Dump is only open during business hours which are Mon – Fri 8 – 5 and Sat 9 – 5. Outside these hours, the dump cover is locked. During business hours it is unlocked but you need to go inside to pay the $7 fee. Car wash is open 24 hours. This is an RV supply store, dealer and repair shop so you can stock up on whatever you need while you are here. Unfortunately, they will not comp the dump fee for making a small purchase as the cost of pumping out the holding tank is quite high on the island. Please take care of this dump station so they can keep it open as it is the only dump not affiliated with an RV park at this end of the island.

Note there is a brand new Canadian Tire store directly across the street. Their parking lot isn’t huge but there would be space to park overnight and there was no prohibiting signage so you could potentially overnight there if needed. Best to get permission from the manager and make a purchase if you want to stay overnight – Canadian Tire sells auto supply and household goods so there is lots to choose from.

Located just outside the town of Moosonim on the south side of the TransCanada highway with access from both directions. Dump station is freely accessible with no lock and no sign requesting payment. Located adjacent to the Tim Hortons. Overnight truck parking also at this location on dirt surface - it was quite dusty when we were there.

Right in Whitehorse, this campground has walk-in campsites for tenters. They have a large gravel parking area surrounded by trees next to the highway where they will allow smaller RVs to stay. Some highway noise for sure there - likely less so for some of the tenting sites.

Clean showers open to anyone even day visitors for $1 for 3 minutes - good hot water when I was there!

Proprietor was very friendly and welcoming. Tenting sites are pretty in the forest and adjacent to the Millenium trail, a 5 km loop trail around the Yukon River with 2 bridges. Easy walking or cycling distance to Whitehorse along the trail.

Bell Canada works here.

Located 6 kms off main highway on gravel road but totally worth the side trip. 2.5 kms in there is a stunning overlook to a deep canyon with some trails. Must see!

The campground has a huge overflow parking area right at the entrance with 2 big rig friendly sites. Much needed as the road to the rest of the campground is a 400 m steep gravel road that crosses a creek on rock at the bottom. Low clearance vehicles may have difficulty and you may need 4wd to get back up if your trailer is heavy.

Gorgeous huge waterfall and river here which is probably why they are charging $32 to camp here with no hook ups. Sites are not huge but the campground is pretty.

Cell signal coming from the tower in Nordegg. You might need a booster in the campground.

Located right in Kelowna, BC, the Shell gas station at Gerstmar Rd and Hwy 33 has a dump station. Easily accessible for any size rig. Dumping is free with gas purchase, otherwise only $3. Fresh water fill is also available, however the water is shut off in late October for the winter.

Lovely, well developed campground with a variety of sites ranging from lakefront at water level, to smaller, higher elevation sites with water views. Electric sites were $27, non-electric $22. There is a tight ring of electric sites right on the water in an open gravel area plus more spacious waterfront sites along the road but they were all taken when we arrived! Overflow grassy area perfect for a group of motorcycles with tents.

Pit toilets, garbage and recycling, a water spigot where you could fill your tank. No dump station which is surprising for how large and developed this campground is. The private dump at the junction is $10 and inconvenient but there are free dumps in Terrace BC to the south and Watson Lake YT to the north.

WIFI is pay and it worked okay. No cell service in the campground but Bell Canada worked in Hyder BC so you can get signal there.

This large scenic look out is actually a side loop off Chuckanut Drive and is separated from the main road by multiple large trees. We did not camp here but would have if we had known it was there. There are no signs prohibiting overnight parking and the pull out is well south of Larrabee State Park so you shouldn't have any problems.

There are other pull outs along this road but this one was the largest and prettiest by far. Super spacious area with room for multiple large RVs on a relatively level asphalt surface. Beautiful views overlooking Samish Bay and an interpretive sign.
