Strawberry Provincial Recreation Area is an Alberta Parks recreation area in Kananaskis, 45 kilometres southwest of Longview on Highway 541 and two kilometres north on Forestry Trunk Road, Highway 40. Alberta Parks lists one campground and no developed day-use area count.
A Kananaskis Conservation Pass is required to park in Kananaskis and the Bow Valley. Kananaskis Campground Services Inc. is shown as facility operator.
Strawberry is a seasonal Highwood River campground designed with equestrian users in mind. Alberta Parks describes spacious campsites, hitching posts, loading ramps, and easy access to informal trails in the vicinity.
The official activity list is concise: camping and equestrian use. That makes Strawberry a good fit for horse campers looking for a more remote Kananaskis experience, especially later in the season when crowds are lighter.
Access timing matters. Alberta Parks notes that Highway 40 west of Peter Lougheed Provincial Park to Highwood House is closed annually from December 1 to June 14. Visitors should confirm road status before building a route around the Highwood corridor.
The nearest sewage disposal station is at Highwood House Day Use Area, with Alberta Parks linking the broader Kananaskis sewage disposal list.
Plan around equestrian camping, Highwood River scenery, informal horseback trails, late-season campground stays, hitching posts, loading ramps, and route checks along Highway 40.
Confirm Conservation Pass requirements, campground season, annual Highway 40 closure, equestrian facilities, sewage disposal, maps, weather, wildlife and snake safety, and Alberta Parks updates.
