Unique & Practical Locations - Kamloops, BC

One thing that makes the Thompson Nicola Region and Kamloops so unique is the fact that traveling 30 minutes in any direction will take you to a beautiful location. Which means that you're half an hour away from restaurants, hotels, cafes, and in a matter of minutes you could be in a remote location, a completely different world! Just one of the many things that we love about this beautiful region!

Beautiful Desert Location - Kamloops, BC
Beautiful Desert Location - Kamloops, BC

Welcome to Kamloops. Where 30 minutes in any direction can take you to a place that would seemingly be considered "the middle of nowhere". A place where you will find rolling hills, endless plains, and beautiful scenery. A feature location that is perfect for films that include desert scenes!
