Camping & Hiking · Alberta
A friendly, growing campground beside the Pembina River off Highway 43 in Alberta, with good tent sites, mini golf, an ice cream store and kids' activities. Newer staff are still finding their feet.
Deep Creek Camping & Events sits just off Highway 43 between Edmonton and Grande Prairie, beside the Pembina River. Reviewers describe it as peaceful and clean, with big lots, easy walks to and along the river and a small beach that appears when the water drops. Tent campers in particular appreciate the good tenting spots, which can be hard to find.
The owners and staff get warm reviews for going out of their way. First-time campers were walked through everything, and one couple with a barky dog was moved to a more secluded site at no extra cost. RV sites have power and water and prices are considered fair. Toilets are porta-potties kept clean, and showers are available at the neighbouring campground using tokens.
There's a lot for families: mini golf, small pedal vehicles, a little train ride for kids, a playground and a camp store known for its big ice cream selection. The site also hosts events, including an annual Summerfest in July, and regulars say it keeps improving year to year. Kayakers will find the river handy.
The main complaint is organization. One recent guest described new staff unsure how to check people in, firewood charged twice, a locked mini-golf gate and store hours that didn't match what they were told. Confirm details at the office, and remember there are no on-site showers.
