Red Deer River North Campground

It's kind of hidden, just off to the side of some road, but an absolute hidden gem. Free firewood is a huuuggggeeee perk! There's a river for fishing, lots of tree cover, lots of critter wildlife, just beautiful. Bonus: There's a chained up gate that you need a lock code to get in, so random people aren't driving around your campsite all day. Really loved camping here and hope to do it again.

This campground is very underused. It's a bit of a hidden gem. 14 sites only. Managed by Red Rock Sawmills, booking it was very easy. We booked via phone/email. Booking is a must, as the gate is locked with a passcode otherwise. We were a group of 6 campsites and we were the only people in the campground. The guy who delivers the firewood said he had never seen this many people in the campground at the same time.
LOTS of space in between sites. They are very spread out. Pit toilets. Non-potable water from a hand pump. The firewood is free. Access to the river via the pathways. No cell service available. Nearest place to get ice is Sunset Cafe which is about 5-7 up the road.
There is a bit of truck noise as it's just off of highway 40, which is used as a logging road.

$30 a night with no hookups but you are in the mountains. Free firewood. No potable water. There is a well but it is advised not to drink from it. Sites are clean. We will be camping here again.

Very spacious sites. It is a great campground with lots of open areas. Worth every pennies.

only downside is the noise coming from the Forestry

Truck Road!
