About
Lynx Creek Campground is in Castle Provincial Park, 20 km west of Pincher Creek on Hwy. 507, 16 km south on Hwy. 774 and 15 km west on O'Hagen Road. This peaceful spot offers spacious sites surrounded by trees, with a few by the creek. Take a creekside hike, fish for trout, and explore the southern Rockies. There are OHV trails in the area, though OHVs must be kept on trailers within the campground.
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/tap is not safe for consumption or use and should only be used to put out fires.
