One of the busiest camping spots along Abraham Lake and the only one allowing OHVs with direct connections to the trail system.
This popular camping spot has undergone a lot of changes over the past two years as the province upgraded roads, added toilets and created a new staging area for OHVs.
We’ll be updating this guide in the coming weeks now that construction is wrapping up.
