Your guide to summer adventures
Spend the night under the stars
Find yourself waking up to the sun rising over Mount Michener at Abraham Slabs, enjoying a sunset paddle on Fish Lake or relaxing to the sound of the North Saskatchewan River at Wildhorse Creek.
Camping is the perfect way to slow down and explore the region. And we’re lucky to have amazing camping spots all over the region.
Most of the region’s campsites are a little more rustic and that’s part of what makes our region a special place.


You’ll find sites with power at Fish Lake Campground while David Thompson Resort is the only full-service campground in the region.
If you’re feeling more adventurous, check out Alberta Parks campgrounds like Thompson Creek or take it a step further at one of the rustic camping areas like Preacher’s Point, Wildhorse Creek or Allstones.
Not sure what’s the difference between a campground, a rustic camping area or random camping? Check out our guide to find out more.
