Six campgrounds in the County of Wetaskiwin are set to open for the 2026 season on May 15, offering visitors a range of nightly rates and locations.

Campers can reserve their spots through the LetsCamp.ca online platform, which opened for bookings on April 1. This system replaces the previous first-come-first-serve process that relied on cash or cheque payments. According to the county, this digital transition has been a positive development for managing park access.

Nightly rates are set at $24 for Red Deer Lake, while sites at Battle Lake, Buck Lake, Coal Lake South, Mound Red, and Twin Lakes are available for $27 to $29 per night. Most of these locations will remain open until September 15, with the exception of Twin Lakes, which will continue operations until September 30.

The county has also designated a limited number of sites across all six parks for those interested in monthly camping. Regardless of the length of stay, visitors must adhere to a maximum limit of 14 days per stay as per local park regulations.

Prospective visitors should be aware that a fire restriction has been in effect throughout the county since May 4, 2026. For further questions regarding park facilities or to inquire about monthly camping, residents can contact the Community Development Coordinator at 780-352-3321.
