Crimson Lake Provincial Park — Attraction in Alberta

Beautiful little gem with a great family feel. I can’t tell you how many people I know who used to go there as kids every summer and now bring their own families. It’s a small lake, but remains calm regardless of the weather, a little chop on that lake is like every day on the big lakes in the area. Good small perch fishing, though they aren’t native to that lake. Some beautiful cabins on the lake, and a superb campground. The amphitheatre is awesome as are the shows. I also recommend the 10k trail for a nice hike. This place is a little wild with Bear and Cougar in the area every year, this is not a negative, but rather further proof it is indeed the doorstep to the Rockies. Wilderness village is nearby, a 5 star RV resort, and it is amazing, another great reason to come visit. When you see how busy that site is you realize that lots of people have figured out that something special is tucked away here.

One final note: this is nice small warm lake that never has an algae bloom. Ever. Making its shallow waters on the beach 100% ideal for little...

Beautiful campground with lots of trees and alright distance between camp neighbors. Powered sites are available, and I strongly recommend them as it is still a reasonable price. The outdoor bathrooms around the grounds are cleaned regularly, and there is a shower building with 12 showers and 8 standard toilets; male/female segregated. These facilities are cleaned regularly as well and the showers are $2 for five minutes of operation. Working showers are always a massive plus, and this campground earns it easily. The lake is a good size with a busy public beach and a boat launch. This is also a busy water sports lake, so lots of water skiing and tubing. Not so busy that we were still able to enjoy kayaking on the lake. There are a variety of birds and butterflies/moths in the area with plenty of hiking trails around the lake to take in all the natural beauty of the area. Very kid friendly, though pets are prohibited from some areas; they are fine at the camp...

This place only allows one camping set up per lot whether that be a giant RV or a tiny tent. If you bring two tiny tents they will charge you for 2 lots instead of one. I guess you're supposed to come here either only with a significant other or one giant tent for the whole family/friends. Also unlike most places they charge for firewood (8$ - which they did not mention of course) and also they have showers but they're 2$, I guess its not a basic human necessity anymore (they also didn't mention that). The showers are also not 24 hours which you can overlook but again I've encountered this no where else so if you're planning on taking a shower at 10pm to circumvent the kids and parents, that is apparently not possible. I actually paid more for this place because I thought this was all included but I guess they meant its available for a price. I'd suggest you go to a place in banff; beautiful mountains and none of these problems. It's pretty...
