About
This small lakeside campground is fishing hotspot. Sites are in an open area but well treed and are close to the lake and irrigation canal. Here you can get away from it all and enjoy boating, fishing and wind-surfing.
Second units, where permitted, are payable on-site by cash or cheque. Please contact the campground booth at (780) 586-2644 to confirm if a second unit can be on the site.
Firewood: Firewood is not available on site. Firewood can be purchased locally from vendors in the Buck Lake area.
Water: Please bring your own water. Water from the hand pump is not safe for consumption or use and should only be used to put out fires.
