About
Windy Point Campground is in Oldman Dam Provincial Recreation Area, 13 km north of Pincher Creek on Hwy. 785. Open sites along the shores of the Oldman River Reservoir are suited to RVs. A boat launch and pier 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).
