Juniper Beach Provincial Park

Juniper Beach Provincial Park in south-central British Columbia lies on the north side of the Thompson River, west of Savona near the outflow of Kamloops Lake. Established in 1989, the 260-hectare park protects a dry interior landscape and desert ecology marked by sagebrush habitat along the river, an environment that contrasts with the province’s more familiar forests. It also serves as a small camping and recreation area with 30 vehicle-accessible campsites open seasonally. The Thompson River draws anglers for trout, steelhead, and salmon, while the park’s dry slopes and brush support deer, Western rattlesnakes, and bird species including the Western Tanager, Mountain Bluebird, and Northern Oriole.
