About
Enjoy a true wilderness experience less than an hour east of Edmonton! Overlooking a picturesque marsh, Astotin Lake is a spectacular place to watch sunsets and starry skies. Nestled in the Astotin Lake Recreation Area, the campground is walking distance to the beach, soccer field, playground and theatre. Enjoy the nostalgia of camping in the very heart of Elk Island National Park, where it all began back in 1906.
