About
A medium-sized campground in Pembina Forks Provincial Recreation Area, 63 km southeast of Robb on Hwy. 40. Large, well-spaced, unserviced sites are nestled among spruce trees near the Pembina River with firepits, vault/pit toilets, and a hand‑pump for water.
The road is normally accessible by 2-wheel drive. However, in the spring during wet weather, Highway 47 can be rough and a 4-wheel drive or a vehicle with high clearance is recommended.
Operated by West Fraser Mills-Fox Creek Development Association.
Firewood: No charge firewood available at campground.
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.
