3 RV Dump Stations In Agassiz, BC
49.2330° N, 121.7693° W
Quick Overview
Agassiz offers several RV dump stations serving the Fraser Valley and Harrison Hot Springs corridor. All some are free-to-use facilities, so budget accordingly for your waste disposal needs.
This agricultural community sits where Highway 1 meets Highway 7, making it a natural stopover between Vancouver and the Interior. The real draw? You're 15 minutes from Harrison Hot Springs via Highway 9, where natural mineral pools and lakeside camping create a perfect weekend escape.
The dump station landscape here revolves around established campgrounds rather than standalone public facilities. Camp Cogburn represents the newest addition to the area's sanitary dump infrastructure. Most stations serve their overnight guests, though some welcome pass-through RVers for a fee.
Access couldn't be simpler. Exit 135 off Trans-Canada Highway 1 puts you in town within minutes. If you're taking the scenic route, Highway 7 hugs the north bank of the Fraser River with spectacular views but narrower sections that demand attention in larger rigs. Highway 9 connects to Harrison Hot Springs but gets congested on summer weekends when day-trippers flood the area.
The sani-dump stations here handle everything from small camper vans to 45-foot Class A motorhomes, though it's smart to call ahead during peak season. Summer brings the driest weather and heaviest traffic, while fall and winter see relentless rain that can make some campground access roads challenging.

Trans-Canada Highway 1 provides the main artery through Agassiz, with Exit 135 delivering quick access from Vancouver (90 minutes east) or Hope (35 minutes west). The highway handles any size RV without restrictions, though mountain passes east of here require attention to weather advisories.
Highway 7 offers an alternative route along the Fraser River's north bank. It's gorgeous but narrow in sections, with tighter corners that'll test your confidence in a 40-footer. Local RVers prefer this route in shoulder seasons when traffic thins out.
Highway 9 is your only route to Harrison Hot Springs, just 6 miles north. Summer weekends turn this two-lane road into a parking lot between 10 AM and 4 PM. Plan your sani-dump visits for early morning or evening to avoid the crush.
Overnight parking isn't welcome in town. Walmart parking lots and rest areas don't exist here like they do in larger centers. Your best bet? Book a proper campground or continue to Chilliwack where more options exist. The RCMP patrol regularly and will knock if you're parked inappropriately.
