Sandy McNabb Campground
A well-treed Alberta foothills campground with spacious, private powered sites, a nearby river, trails for biking and riding, and clean showers. No cell service, and roads are dusty.
What visitors say
Sandy McNabb Campground sits in the Alberta foothills, and campers describe it as beautiful, peaceful and full of wildlife, with deer wandering through the loops. Sites are spacious and well treed, and even where you can see other campers, they're usually positioned for privacy. The river is an easy walk away and good for cooling off on hot days.
Most sites have 30-amp power, and the campground has pit toilets around the loops, a comfort station with flush toilets and token showers, drinking-water taps and several sewer dump stations. Campers say attendants are proactive and the place is well run. Firewood is delivered by park staff on their rounds, which can mean a wait, so stock up when you can. Group sites come with a large shelter and fireplace.
It suits families and people who like to get outside: there are family-friendly mountain bike trails, hiking and horseback riding routes, and a playground. Large rigs are manageable, with one 35-foot fifth wheel fitting several different sites. The nearest town is about 15 minutes away.
There's no cell service or Wi-Fi, which some see as a bonus. The dirt roads are dusty, and a few drivers ignore the 15 km/h limit. The comfort station closes for a few hours midday for cleaning once or twice a week. Weekends have been busier since power was added, while weekdays stay quiet.
