LIfe at the Williams Lake Stampede Campground
There’s something special about this time of year in Williams Lake. As the dust starts to rise and the excitement builds, our campground comes alive with the spirit of the West. The Williams Lake Stampede isn’t just a rodeo—it’s a tradition, a gathering, and for many of our guests, a highlight of the entire summer.
A Full House – And Then Some
Each year, we’re grateful to welcome both familiar faces and first-time visitors. The demand continues to grow, and 2026 is no exception—our campground and overflow areas are fully booked for Stampede week. That speaks volumes about the community, the experience, and the memories made here.
That said, we always encourage folks to join our waitlist. Plans change, and we do our best to accommodate as many guests as possible. If you’re hoping to get in, don’t hesitate to reach out with your details—we’ll keep you in mind if a spot opens up.
More Than Just a Campsite
Stampede camping isn’t just about parking your RV—it’s about the atmosphere. Mornings start with coffee and friendly conversation, afternoons are filled with rodeo action, and evenings wind down with stories shared under Cariboo skies.4
Our goal is simple: create a welcoming, easygoing environment where guests can relax and enjoy everything the Stampede has to offer.
What to Expect During Your Stay
We work hard behind the scenes to keep the campground running smoothly during this busy time. From grounds maintenance like fertilizing and weed control to ensuring irrigation systems are up and running, it all helps keep the space comfortable and enjoyable for everyone.
We always appreciate cooperation from our campers when contractors are onsite—it helps us keep everything in top shape.
The Stampede Spirit
There’s a reason people come back year after year. It’s not just the rodeo—it’s the people, the stories, and the sense of community that makes this event so memorable.
Whether you’re here for the first time or it’s become a yearly tradition, we’re proud to be part of your Stampede experience.
