3 RV Dump Stations In 150 Mile House, BC | Sani-Dumps.com
52.1056° N, 121.9280° W
Quick Overview
150 Mile House serves up several RV dump stations for travelers working their way through British Columbia's Cariboo region. You'll find some free option here, which matters when you're managing costs on longer trips through the province.
This small community sits at a critical junction where Highway 97 meets Highway 20, making it a natural stopping point for RVers heading west to Bella Coola or continuing north toward Prince George. The newest facility, 150 Mile Husky, gives you modern amenities right off the main route.
The sanitary dump stations here cater to through-traffic more than destination travelers. Most facilities cluster near the highway corridor, which means quick access without navigating residential streets with your rig. You're looking at straightforward pull-through designs that accommodate larger Class A motorhomes and fifth wheels without the tight maneuvering you'd face in more developed areas.
Services range from basic sani-dump access to full-service stops where you can fuel up, grab supplies, and handle waste disposal in one visit. The free station provides essential RV waste disposal without frills, while paid options typically bundle dump access with other amenities. Given the sparse population density up here, these three stations handle steady volume during summer months when tourism peaks in the Cariboo.

Highway 97 runs straight through 150 Mile House as the main artery connecting the Lower Mainland to northern BC. This route sees consistent RV traffic year-round, though winter conditions demand serious preparation. Highway 20 branches west from here -- it's a spectacular drive to Bella Coola but not for nervous drivers or underpowered rigs.
All RV operators need proper licensing for their vehicle class. If you're crossing from the States, your insurance must explicitly cover Canadian travel -- call your provider before you leave. Border agents will want to see registration and proof of ownership for any trailer you're towing.
Declare everything at the border: gifts, alcohol, food, electronics. Being upfront saves time and hassle. The agents aren't trying to ruin your trip; they're doing their job. Stay cooperative and you'll be through quickly.
Overnight parking isn't widely available in 150 Mile House proper. Your best bet is asking permission at the businesses where you're dumping, or plan to push on to one of the provincial parks within an hour's drive either direction on Highway 97.

Dump Station Costs in 150 Mile House
The several RV dump stations here split a portion% free and a portion% paid. That single some free station gives budget-conscious travelers a solid option, though paid facilities typically offer better access to potable water and more spacious maneuvering areas.
Paid dumps in 150 Mile House generally run $5-10, which is reasonable for the region. You're often paying for the convenience of combined services -- fuel, propane, dump station, and supplies all in one stop. That efficiency matters when you're covering serious distance.
The free option works fine if you only need basic sanidump access and you've already handled water and fuel elsewhere. During peak summer travel, even the paid stations rarely see lines, so you're not paying extra to avoid crowds. Budget accordingly based on whether you value one-stop convenience or minimum cost.

Explore the 150 Mile House Area
Fuel prices jump as you head north, so top off your tank here before continuing. The same goes for groceries and supplies -- selection thins out considerably once you leave the Highway 97 corridor.
Cell coverage gets spotty fast when you venture off the main highway. Download offline maps before you arrive, and don't count on GPS working reliably on Highway 20. Old-school paper maps still make sense up here.
If you're heading to Bella Coola on Highway 20, that route includes serious mountain grades and switchbacks. Check your brake system before committing to that drive. It's beautiful but demanding.
Water availability matters in this region. Fill your fresh tank when you dump -- you might not find convenient water sources at every stop further north. The climate runs dry through summer, and forest fire restrictions can close areas without much warning. Check current conditions with local authorities before venturing into backcountry areas.

Do I need special licensing to drive my RV in British Columbia?
