Gregoire Lake Provincial Park — Attraction in Alberta

Gregoire Lake is beautiful. The grounds are well maintained, and there are clear directions to the various areas.

There is ample parking down by the lake, lots of picnic benches in and out of the shade, and a play area for the kids.

There is a sandy beach and life vests for free use while at the beach for the children.

The campsites are great. They have been designed so well. They are secluded pods, surrounded by trees, with a gravel drive, a large moveable picnic bench, and a fire pit. There are facilities such as water and electricity. This really is a luxury spot to stay with all the creature comforts.

My one criticism is: when we visited, there was blue-green algae in the lake, and the signs put up were not written in multiple languages. There were children playing in the water whose parents did not speak/read English and were therefore unaware of the dangers. Luckily, my friend was able to communicate the risks to them, and they immediately got their children out. I feel that this is likely a recurrent issue and, therefore, better investment into signs could be executed.

That's my only criticism, though. Gregoire Lake is beautiful and I would recommend this place for all ages and all types...

If you want peace within nature, keep driving. If you want to participate in a campground being an off-leash parade for dogs, rude campers, and a competition for who’s got the loudest speaker Friday/Saturday night, then this would be your jam. The parks people were very pleasant and it’s got tons of amenities like- large campsites, toonie showers, lots pit toilets, a playground, drinking water, dump station, a huge lake with great fishing and boating, a beautiful day use area and beach for swimming, hiking trails, store on site etc. It’s just not my idea of a good time at $39/night for a powered site. Hardly slept, had 9 different dogs enter my site, and pulled an aggressive dog off my own. Will probably not come back...

Be aware that the campground is only patrolled by security from 8am to 8pm and even then there is a very poor presence. We stayed 8 nights in the campground and 4 or 5 of those evenings and nights were ruined by inconsiderate campers, i.e. campfire sing-alongs until 3 in the morning, domestic arguments after midnight, loud fireside chatter and laughter until well after what is supposed to be quiet time at 11pm. There were bears in the area but a lot of campers fully disregarded the campsite cleanup rule whereby leaving out bbq’s and food and just simply messy campsites. Definite A sense of entitlement by some campers. Never again will we visit nor would we recommend the stay. On a positive note, the beach was...
