Alberta Beach Campground
A tidy village campground a short walk from the beach at Alberta Beach, AB, with clean washrooms and shallow, kid-friendly water. It's mostly seasonal and can be noisy on busy nights.
What visitors say
Alberta Beach Campground sits in the village of the same name, a short walk from the lakeshore. Reviewers love the wide, open beach and the evening sunsets over the water. The wading area is large and shallow, which makes it popular with families, and there's a playground with a rubberized surface for small kids.
The campground itself is nicely laid out, and several guests praise the clean, fairly new washrooms and showers, which are coin-operated. Sites have water and electric hookups and there are tent sites too. Most spots appear to be seasonal, with a few overnight sites available. One guest found it pricey for what amounts to camping in an open field with some trees.
It suits families who want easy beach days, kayakers and boaters. Shops and convenience stores are across the street. It gets windy, so bring a jacket even in summer.
A few issues come up. The gate locks in the evening, so late arrivals may have to park outside and walk in. One tent camper left early after neighbours partied until 3 a.m., and found no refund for the unused night. Another visitor had a rude phone call when asking about availability. Green algae warning signs have been posted at the beach before, so check advisories before swimming.
