Weekend Trip to QWRC Alpacas

MJ is the most lovely lady. What an honour to be a guest to this property. The property is very picturesque. And the alpacas and llamas are of course adorable. Absolutely would recommend staying at this location. We were in a pinch to find something suitable for what we needed because we're 4 season tenters. Thank you, MJ! From the bottom of our hearts.

Weekend Trip to Starry Nights and Northern Lights

The added touches to this stay made it a perfect romantic weekend getaway. The old woodfire place that was perfect to cook in, the decorative wall hangings, the added extra coffees and hot chocolates, all the plates and silverware you will need. The outdoor fire pit, the picnic table underneath decorative lights. It was a magical weekend for two adults and a pup. Only a short drive outside of Edmonton and easy to find. ( 1 hour ) Highly recommend and look forward to going back.

This place was beautiful, peaceful & amazing and so are the hosts! So accommodating and absolutely helpful! I was delayed and so they went out of their way to make sure I knew where to park without them there. They were in constant contact and made my stay perfect! Thank you again! Highly recommend!

We had an amazing stay at this campsite! The area is very private and surrounded by beautiful fall colors, it honestly feels like your own little getaway in nature. The place was clean, quiet, and relaxing, perfect for a peaceful weekend escape. The owners are wonderful people! They are responsive, and easy to communicate with. They made sure everything went smoothly from check-in to check-out, and we really appreciated how organized and welcoming they were. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a cozy, private, and scenic spot to unwind!

An amazing private, quiet and clean hidden gem. Denika and her family were more than amazing and hospitable. The aspen tent is well equipped and very neat. I’m adding this spot to my favourite list and encouraging everyone to catch a break at this place.

very private, lots of tree coverings, shade if needed.

Weekend Trip to Experience a Stay at Go Hard Ranch

Arriving on this land, I felt a sense of peace roll through me. My girlfriends and I stayed in the Tipi. It was magical. The grounds are immaculately kept. We were very spoiled with the washroom facilities as well as the outdoor kitchen. The beds were extremely comfortable with soft linen and warm blankets. The host did not miss any details to help us feel comfortable and met all of our amenity needs. The sunrise and sunsets were beautifully held on the horizon. Nature was all around us, including the cows and beautiful majestic white bull. All of the gardens and flower beds held details and surprises. Dragonflies were everywhere! A short distance away, we visited Chip Lake. Here we were able to have a drumming ceremony as well as enjoy some paddle boarding. The water was not conducive to us swimming in it, as it is shallow and appears to have a vast ecosystem. We did travel 30 minutes up the highway to the Pambina river and enjoyed a refreshing cool off. I would highly recommend visiting this site. I have full intentions of gathering my whole tribe of friends for a full weekend next year.

We loved camping at the Secret Sanctuary! We brought our own glamping and got the breakfast delivered to your site as an add on. Absolutely delicious! The whole experience and vibe of this place is really something special. We were looking for a getaway close to the city that offered privacy (which is hard to find these days) and were not disappointed. We want to bring the whole family next time we come! The hot shower and compost toilets were great, the trails and nearby lakes were awesome for exploring, and Denika and her family were so friendly and helpful. 5 stars! Also make sure to check out the store for amazing salves, delicious teas, and cute pottery!

Weekend Trip to Creek's Edge

Our recent stay at this campsite was truly fantastic — the warm hospitality, beautiful grounds, and attention to cleanliness made it special from start to finish. The hosts were welcoming and friendly, and we especially loved meeting their pets, who added an extra touch of comfort and fun to our visit. Being surrounded by nature’s calls—rustling trees, squirrels, and birds—made us feel completely at one with the outdoors. We can’t wait to return next summer and would highly recommend this campsite to anyone looking for a relaxing, pet-friendly getaway in nature!

The best camping in Wabamun Lake Provincial Park, AB guide

Overview

About

Just an hour outside of Edmonton, Wabamun Lake Provincial Park is a sought-after retreat from the city’s summer heat. The park’s family-friendly beach offers sandy areas for towel lounging and grassy areas for afternoon picnics. Cool off with a dip or explore the lake by boat. After a morning on the water, take a stroll along the boardwalk or get the binoculars out and enjoy some birding. Kids will have a blast at the playground, located near the edge of the water. Within the park, the sole Wabamun Lake Campground has more than 270 shady sites, including unserviced and power sites.

Tips for snagging a campsite

Wabamun Lake Campground is open from May until early September.
All campsites require a reservation, which can be hard to come by during peak summer months. For the best chance at a spot, book weeks in advance or plan a trip in May or September, when the park is quieter.
If you can't snag a reservation, consider staying outside the park nearby.

When to go

The crowds can be a bit overwhelming, but the true gem of Wabamun Lake Provincial Park is the beach on a hot day. Get to the shore early, throw down your towel and claim your spot. The quaint village of Wabamun also hosts several summer events, including its annual Dragonfly Festival.

Know before you go

Wabamun Lake Campground is a short walk from the Wabamun village, where you’ll find cafes, grocery stores, a marina, and a spray park. From the campground, follow the old service road, which is closed to cars, for about 20 minutes.
The park's beach area is accessible to anyone—not just campers—which can make parking a bit of a hassle. Skip the parking wars by walking, biking, or have someone from your crew do a shuttle run. It takes about 15 minutes to walk to the beach from the campground.
Sick of doing the doggy paddle, but still want to be on the lake? Boat and SUP board rentals can be found right on the lake.
