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.

Stories & Inspiration For Your Camping Adventure


The Canteen Is For Sale
It’s been an amazing adventure since we started the Canteen in the spring of 2020 but it’s time for a change. We’ve decided to sell so that we can once again put all of our focus on our tour business.

Winter Adventures in the Canadian Rockies
Find a different kind of Rockies experience as you enjoy 4 days of playing in the snow and relaxing by the fire.
Frontier Salad
We love how versatile this delicious salad is. The dried fruits and quinoa, combined with the bright flavours of the dressing make it a great option as a meal, perfect to bring on an adventure and great as a side for dinner.
Curry Ketchup
This dip quickly became a favourite at the Canteen, delicious with fries and perfect with a smokies on a bun. It’s easy to make at home, keeps well in the fridge and will quickly become your go-to condiment.
