About
A pretty little campground found in Burnt Timber Provincial Recreation Area, 13 km west of Cochrane on Hwy. 1A and 70 km north on Hwy. 40. A creek runs through the campground which is nice for swimming or tubing on a hot day. There are sites suitable for RVs and walk-in tenting sites as well.
Operated by Red Rock Sawmills.
Vehicle-access sites are located on the north side of the creek. Opening date subject to snow levels.
Firewood: Firewood is included.
Water: Please bring your own water. Water from the hand pump is not safe for consumption or use and should only be used to put out fires.
