Alberta Campgounds Open In Early May

[yak]

I have gone through the alberta provincial parks website and can not find anything that tells you when any of the provincial campgrounds open. I am looking for a place somewhere in and around the crowsnest where I an take my wife and kids for a weekend ( may 2-4). Have a 26 foot trailer but dont need any hookups. Just want to start camping. Anyone know when the prov .campgrounds open or have any other suggestions for that weekend ( can leave on the friday morning so first come first serve will work).

thanks

Hi Yak,

 

I checked the Alberta Parks website and a lot of campgrounds don't open until the middle of may. I found that Lundbreck Falls campground is open May 1st so maybe that will work? I would call ahead too as sometimes the dates are off due to snow,flood etc.

 

Tried to post a link for you but I do not seem to be able to at this point.

If I could copy/paste urls on this forum I would direct you to "rockymountaincamping.ca". They will post when the campgrounds in the area are open. It appears Lundbreck Falls is open now and it has power....I hope to be out camping May 10th!!!

Not out that way but I was in Writing on Stone the other day and there was people camping already.

Racehorse Creek Provincial Recreation Area is now open, as well as Oldman River on the Oldman Road. Dutch Creek opens next week!!

Oh man can't wait. I wonder if my wife would accept putting off land-scaping until the fall or next year? Probably not. Gotta get it done. Will have to put a stop work order if we creep too far into June.
