Prairie Creek Group Camp Provincial Recreation Area | Alberta

Prairie Creek Group Camp Provincial Recreation Area is an Alberta Parks recreation area in the Central region, approximately 40 kilometres southwest of Rocky Mountain House on Highway 752. Alberta Parks lists two group-use areas and no developed day-use area count.

The official page notes that firewood is no longer provided at this site.

Why Visit Prairie Creek Group Camp Provincial Recreation Area

Prairie Creek Group Camp is designed for groups that want a dedicated camping base near fishing and informal trail systems. Alberta Parks lists fishing, off-site OHV riding, and off-site snowmobiling as activities.

Motorized rules are specific and should shape group planning. Alberta Parks says informal OHV and snowmobile trails are in the vicinity, but OHV or snowmobile off-loading is permitted within the Large Group Use Area only, for registered campers only, with a 10 kilometre-per-hour speed limit. OHV use anywhere else in the park is prohibited.

Firewood planning is also important. The official page says users can bring their own firewood or purchase it from Alberta Parks staff when staff are in the area.

Because this site is group-use focused, confirm the correct group area, booking status, vehicle and trailer arrangements, nearby trail rules, and fishing regulations before arrival. The site is not presented as a general campground or full-service day-use park.

Things To Do

Plan around group camping, fishing, nearby informal OHV trails, nearby snowmobile trails, registered-camper staging rules, firewood planning, map checks, and group logistics.

Planning Notes

Confirm group-use reservations, firewood arrangements, OHV off-loading rules, 10 kilometre-per-hour speed limit, fishing rules, maps, weather, and Alberta Parks updates.
