Nice equestrian trails at this site

Feb 23, 2021
Beautiful part of Alberta off the main trail but not too far out. Loved the campground and even had a great time doing some fly fishing along Etherington Creek. The area is really beautiful for fishing, biking, hiking and camping.

Management was very friendly and accommodating. Bundles of Wood were 10 bucks. Road up was a little rough as its all gravel and sometimes the dust rolls into the A loop section. Very quiet place. Would return for sure.

29$ was a bit pricy for the standard I was looking forward to a quiet night, listening to the sounds of nature. Unfortunately what I heard was an extremely noisy generator from the park managers who lived in a trailer at the site. Not recommanded.

We were there last weekend. The park itself is nice and well maintained. The shallow creek is especially pretty and was always empty. The equestrian area is particularly lovely, the meadow there looks like something out of Midsommar. There are some issues though that I would have found useful before I booked the site. There isn't any drinking water in the park, only non-potable. Thankfully, Highwood House is right at the turnoff from Hwy 40 and they have good quality wood ($10) and a water spigot (free). Bring containers. The park itself is 6km away on a gravel road, that's a long, brutal drive for your undercarriage. We anticipated a bug problem with mosquitoes but didn't see any. The flies however, were unbelievable and relentless. Keeping a fire going for the smoke helps. There's also a type a bird there with a call like an emergency alert system. Valley Bottom trail is impassible, a crazy steep, boggy mess. There is no store onsite, or any place to check-in, just a park manager who's rarely home (they also sell $10 bundles). Just leave your permit on the post, and on your dash, and hunker down. I would come back to the park now that I know what to expect, but only if all my other preferred options weren't unavailable.
