Juniper Beach was established as a Provincial Park in 1989. The park protects a representative desert landscape which contains sagebrush, prickly pear cactus and of course, juniper. Part of the landscape includes deep post-glacial deposits and large scale erosion features.
It is a convenient overnight camping spot for travelers on Hwy #1 and provides access to the Thompson River. Both CNR and CPR railway tracks run by the park and provide an attraction to train-buffs. This park is also a popular base camp for visitors enjoying boating, fishing, photography and touring historic Hat Creek Ranch and Ashcroft Manor, both nearby.
Established Date: June 15, 1989 Park Size: 260 hectares

We have been camping here for the last 10 yrs and until this summer have enjoyed it very much. However, this year, our vehicles became infested with a Pack Rat and did over $1500 damage to both. The camp host was as helpful as she could be, but unable to do anything about it. The fact that there is a possibility of rats infesting your equipment should be posted as a warning! This was not and therefore, we will not be returning to Juniper Beach again. I would advise anyone going to this campsite to bring along rat traps if you really must stay here. We will not be.
