About
Horburg Provincial Recreation Area offers a rustic, first come, first served camping experience, ideal for those seeking proximity to the North Saskatchewan River.
Most campsites are walk-in tenting, providing a quiet, immersive experience. A limited number of sites offer drive-in access suitable for smaller RVs. Since many campsites are situated close to the riverbank, visitors enjoy the relaxing sound of the North Saskatchewan River's flow throughout their stay.
The campground also serves as a convenient overnight stopover for multi-day river adventurers who have put their canoes or kayaks in the water upriver at Saunders or Aylmer Provincial Recreation Areas.
Operated by Westward Bound Campgrounds.
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.
