Love these small Town campgrounds. Private, treed sites with power and water. Nice beach.

So much fun. Sandy beach and swimmanle lake. Clean camping sites. Bathrooms were open until 11 pm which was great when you want to wash up for the night.

Great campground located just over 2 hours east of Edmonton. Sites have a lot of privacy, lots of sites with power and others that are full service. Large playground for the littles and a nice clean lake and beach. The lady who welcomed us was very friendly and gave us great directions to our site as the campground can feel like a maze. Clean showers and flush toilets, showers were free. Pit toilets spread throughout the campground too. Nice picnic tables and large fire pits, though we were there during a fire ban, we were permitted to use our propane fire pit. Sandy sites that were laid out nicely. Looked like the group sites were decent size and trees for privacy too. I would definitely recommend this campground and would go out there again.

Affordable campground, nice lake (a few leaches, to be expected) with great sand! The beach was just really great, with installed pergolas to set up for the day under in the shade, and a swing set at one end. Fun playground closer to the camping area - even after hours at the beach my 4 kids (4-9yrs) loved spending another hour at that playground. The camping spots that we experienced had plenty of room and bush between them so didn't feel too cozy with neighbors, felt like actually being out in the bush! And have to note the bathrooms with showers included.
