About
Ironwood Lake Campground is located in Lakeland Provincial Recreation Area, 17 km south of Lac La Biche on Hwy. 36, 5km east on Hwy. 55, 3km north on Range Rd. 132, 19 km east on Township Rd. 652, and 5 km south on Range Rd. 113, 3km east on Township Rd. 645, and 3km on access road. Ironwood Lake is a small lake that is perfect for wildlife watching, birding, and paddling.
Winter Camping: Services and maintenance are reduced after the September long weekend. While this campground remains open after the Thanksgiving weekend in October, there is no snow removal or services provided. Prepare to be self sufficient and camp at your own risk.
Firewood: Free firewood is available seasonally from mid-May to mid-September, on a first come, first served basis.
Water: Water is available seasonally from mid-May to mid-September, weather dependent. Potable water is available from the hand pump at this site. Although Alberta Parks strives to maintain water quality, we recommend that you bring you own drinking water.
