Stay And Play in Alberta Campgrounds

Camping and Alberta go hand-in-hand as Alberta’s history is rich with pioneer history. Now you can camp as comfortably or as authentically as you like, whether you’re in a tent or motorhome or glamping in a Tipi, Alberta campgrounds have it all.

Amazing camping for groups or individuals!

Enjoy farmyard mini golf, paintball, the seasonal cafe with freshly baked apple pie and homemade jams, or take the kids to the on-site park. There are showers and laundry facilities available so you can get away and soak in the fabulous scenery.

3. Lakeland Provincial Recreation Area

Choose from five different back-country camping areas throughout this provincially-run recreation area. Enjoy campfires to cook your freshly caught fish, take a boat around the lake, or just take in some much-needed relaxation.

There are no modern facilities, as this is for those of you who love to go out ‘roughing it.’

Don’t let the name fool you. Enjoy this gorgeous area year-round — from spending time on the beautiful, sandy beach to taking a sought after fishing trip — all while basking in the glorious surroundings of Northeastern Alberta.
