Eagle Creek Campground & Event Centre
Overview
Eagle Creek Campground & Event Centre offers a serene getaway nestled within the rolling landscapes of central Alberta. This park is characterized by its expansive green spaces and a blend of shaded, wooded campsites and open meadows. Unlike high-traffic highway stops, this location provides a genuine sense of retreat where the sound of the wind through the trees replaces the noise of the city. It serves as both a peaceful destination for weekenders and a versatile venue for large-scale gatherings and community events.
Location & Surroundings
The park is conveniently located on Township Road 454 near Westerose, providing easy access for those traveling from both Edmonton and Red Deer. The surroundings are defined by the Alberta parklands, featuring dense clusters of poplar and spruce trees alongside gentle creek views. The area feels tucked away from the main thoroughfares, ensuring that visitors can enjoy dark night skies and a quiet atmosphere perfect for wildlife spotting and star-gazing throughout their stay.
Amenities & Park Features
The campground provides well-maintained facilities designed for comfort and convenience. Guests can utilize 30-amp power sites that include individual fire pits and picnic tables for a classic camping experience. One of the standout features is the large event pavilion and stage, which frequently hosts live music and private functions. Additionally, the park offers clean washroom facilities and showers, ensuring a comfortable stay for those traveling in trailers, motorhomes, or smaller camper vans.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to several major recreational areas. A short drive leads to Pigeon Lake, where travelers can enjoy boating, fishing, and the sandy shores of Ma-Me-O Beach. For those who prefer a quieter experience, Battle Lake offers excellent opportunities for canoeing and birdwatching. Nearby, the Village at Pigeon Lake provides a charming spot for local shopping, dining, and boutique services, offering a convenient contrast to the rustic campground setting.
Who This Park Is Best For

My first time at this campground was on the Sept long weekend. My group was warmly received and a brief overview of the site was provided by Keon, who suggested we might be more comfortable at a different location. The spot he chose for our group was perfect. The buildings and grounds are well kept and the hospitality is top notch! Everything was clean and well kept. The beach at the creek was also a great spot! Deliveries from the store were prompt and correct. I could not find ANY faults with my long weekend stay. It is very apparent to me that there goal is to treat everyone as a valued guest. I/we will be back! Many thanks to Keon and the rest of the staff! Well done and keep up the good work.

Spent the Labour Day weekend with a few gay and straight friends as this was my first time at an LGBTQ+ owned and operated campground. Couldn't be more pleased with the friendly and respectful atmosphere for all. The weather cooperated with very sunny days making our stay that much more enjoyable. Beyond that, we were treated very well and Keon, the owner, was amazing. He ended up putting us in a very quiet, remote corner which would still allow access to all the amenities but provided some peace and quiet to enjoy the very beautiful landscape of this stunning place. As well, any time we needed anything, he came promptly to fulfill our requests, all with a smile. The long weekend was packed with different events which everyone was invited to and could take part in as part of their registration for that weekend which I didn't expect but was very grateful for. This included drinks on the beach with a DJ on Saturday afternoon, a party with a DJ and bonfire in the evening plus a hot dog/burger brunch on Sunday. Really enjoyed the historic and hand crafted buildings and decor. Would highly recommend this place for a fun and different camping experience!

Had an incredible time at the campgrounds during a weekend event! The staff were amazing — they checked in on us regularly and kept us updated on everything happening throughout the weekend, which made the experience even better. Everyone we met at the camp was super friendly and helpful, creating such a welcoming vibe. Truly a beautiful community of people, and I can’t wait to come back!

Had the most amazing weekend at Eagle Creek Campground. Will definitely return. Very community focused! The folks running the campground are incredibly kind and work very hard to make sure everyone has a good experience. Exceeded all of my expectations.

EXCEPTIONAL PROPERTY! EXCEPTIONAL HOSTS! We discovered this STUNNING gay campground online. We made the 10 hr drive (part of a road trip) for a long weekend and not disappointed. We were immediately greeted by the hosts/owners, and they took exceptional care of us all weekend, constantly checking in. BIG shout out to Keon. ALWAYS a smile on his face. These boys work very hard to ensure EVERYONE has a 5 star experience. Despite the stormy weather, we met so many great guys (and gals), enjoyed the dance party, the fire pit, pride parade, creek beach and had dinner and breakfast at their small restaurant. They have bigger plans for this campground including an additional bathroom/shower building, and hopefully more serviced RV sites (most RVs have to dry camp). There is also very cozy motel and rustic cabins on site. And then there is a beautifully preserved gold rush town… AMAZING! We could go on and on and on, however, you really just need to come here and experience it for yourself. If you’re looking for a five star camping experience in a safe and welcoming LGBTQ+ community, this is your spot! We will be back, and wish Keon and his partners/team the very best! EAGLE CREEK CAMPGROUND ROCKS! 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈 Cheers, Peter and Kelvin, Peachland BC
