About
North Fork Campground is in Oldman Dam Provincial Recreation Area, 10 km northwest of Pincher Creek on Hwy. 3 and 7 km northeast on Hwy. 510. Open sites along the shores of the Oldman River Reservoir are suited to RVs. A boat launch make it a good choice for campers wanting easy access to the water. This is a popular spot for all kinds of water sports. Constant breezes make it an ideal place for sailing and wind surfing.
Firewood: Campfires are prohibited.
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.
Sewage: A sewage disposal station is located in Castleview Campground (on the north side of the river).
