About
This campground is along the Castle River in Castle Provincial Park. It is 20 km west of Pincher Creek on Hwy. 507, 16 km south on Hwy. 774 and 1 km west on an access road. Sites are suited to tents and RVs and are located along the river. Here you can fish or hike, and paddlers with advanced moving water experience can play on the river.
Reservations can be made 90 days in advance of arrival date.
When camping in a powered site:
Use 1-2 electrical appliances maximum at the same time. When campers lose power, it's usually because too much electricity is being used at once.
Do not use adapters to draw power from a 15 amp for an RV with a 30 amp plug.
Have a backup plan. Use other methods to cook, stay cool/warm and keep entertained.
Remember, conserving electricity and timing when you use your electricity in a campsite will ensure you can stay powered. Get more information about using power sites.
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: Potable water is available at standpipes throughout the campground.
