About
Dinosaur Campground is in Dinosaur Provincial Park, 48 km northeast of Brooks off Hwy. 876. There are over 120 RV and tent-friendly sites, including unserviced, powered and pull-through options. This full service campground is nestled in a valley by the Red Deer River and shaded by cotton-wood trees. Many sites back onto a creek. Explore the beautiful, unique landscape on foot, take a guided tour and look for dinosaur bones, or enjoy a show at the amphitheatre. Whatever you like to do, camping in the badlands is an unforgettable experience.
Reservations can be made 90 days in advance of arrival date.
Reservations: Power hook-ups are available year-round.
Firewood: Firewood is available for purchase at the Campground Booth, and are available until early October.
Water: Campground water, including flush toilets and showers, are shut off early October. Shower and laundry facilities take loonies ($1 coins) only. Bring your own loonies/cash, as onsite ATM is not always reliable.
