Latest Check-Ins
Lovely spot for a night or two. Kayak/paddle on the lake. Half a dozen lakefront spots, not full even on an August weekend. NO potable water.
NOTE: there is a friendly, habituated to humans Raven near #31 & 32. Please take care with dogs he will go right up to them. No bread. Nuts seeds dog kibble are ok.
A lot of available sites in the evening, clean toilets, 23 CAD, nice view, a little noise from the highway.
Report Check-In$23 CAD FCFS, cash only. Two areas; one on the lake with several spots, and a larger area with many spots set up like a parking lot, no privacy, nor shade. The few spots on the lake have shade, tables and fire pits. Several long-term campers there w/industrial gennys. We choose the larger, no shade area as there was only one other camper and it was nice and quiet. The pit toilet is clean enough. The hwy is noticeable on the one side, but quiets after dark. There is a train that runs through also, so you will hear that as well. Also, a quarry operates nearby, but the noise wasn’t a big deal. Overall a decent spot for a day or two if you want to resupply in Crowsnest. Good for a kayak, canoe, or SUP on the lake.
Report Check-InWe paid 23 Dollar , put it in an envelope in a box at the day use area. A bit noisy from the highway and railway track near the shore behind us. Wonderful views over the lake
Report Check-InNice place with 2 places to camp, by the lake(which was full by 4) and the other was kind of over flow area with no privacy. It wasn’t bad as there was no one there. The lake was beautiful, the highway noise was loud but it quieted down by night time. Pit toilets.
Report Check-InA nice place for one night
There is a sign stating the provincial government is closing this campground!!!!!
Sign the petition not to close it please !!
