A small highway-side campground along Shunda Creek.
Harlech is a small highway-side campground, reminiscent of the era when the Alberta Forestry Services operated most of the campsites in the region.
It may not be a destination for most but it does provide quick access to the rail trail and other OHV trails nearby, although your OHV must stay on a trailer while in the campground (except for the staging area).
It’s also a good option for those looking to fish in Shunda Creek or the nearby stocked trout pond.
There is a kitchen shelter available here, making it a good option for rainy days. Keep in mind that this campground is located near the Stolberg Gas Plant and the noises and flaring can be noticeable.
