A tiny campground on the shores of the North Saskatchewan River.
This feels like a throwback to the era of the Alberta Forestry Services and the days when few people visited the region.
This small campground (only 9 sites) is a great ending or starting point for those paddling the North Saskatchewan River, either from the Forestry Trunk Road or to Rocky Mountain House.
The rail trail and the Taunton trestle bridge are nearby but OHVs are not permitted in the campground. Most people random camp in the area closer to the old mining town of Saunders, between this campground and the highway, instead of staying at the campground itself.
