About
Calhoun Bay Campground is the perfect spot when you’re looking for a quiet camping experience and don’t need many amenities on site. There are vault toilets in the campground as well as hand pumps with non-potable water.
The campsites in Calhoun Bay Campground are spacious enough for most RVs and trailers, and many are treed to create that extra privacy you might want for a nice weekend getaway.
Please ensure that you bring your own firewood and drinking water.
Reservations can be made 90 days in advance of arrival date.
Second units, where permitted, are payable on-site by cash or cheque. Please contact the campground booth at (780) 596-2644 to confirm if a second unit can be on the site.
Firewood: Firewood is not available. Help stop the spread of forest pests, Dutch elm disease and emerald ash borer. Plan to bring or buy firewood locally to burn on site.
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.
