About
This large prairie campground is in Little Bow Provincial Park, 20 km south of Vulcan on Hwy. 23, 16 km east on Hwy. 529 and 1 km south on an access road. There are both unserviced and powered sites, suitable for RVs and tents. Trees throughout the campground provide some refreshing shade. The breezy reservoir is perfect for sailing and wind surfing. It's also a good spot to enjoy canoeing, water skiing, fishing, swimming, and the beach.

Concession: Open Daily in July and August; open on weekends from mid-May to Sept-long weekend. When camping in a powered site:
Use 1-2 electrical appliances maximum at the same time. When campers lose power, its usually it is 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 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.
