French Bay Upper West Campground

French Bay Upper West Campground, nestled within the tranquil French Bay Provincial Recreation Area just east of Cold Lake, offers a cozy riverside escape with stellar lake views. Open from mid‑May to late September, this small rustic site features six unserviced campsites—perfect for tents or self-sufficient setups. Amenities include fire pits, a boat launch ideal for car-top vessels, vault toilets, and cistern-supplied water (bring drinking water to be safe). Firewood isn’t available onsite, helping preserve local forests—please source and burn firewood locally. With its serene setting and prime access to the lake, this campground provides a peaceful getaway for paddling, fishing, hiking, or simply soaking in the lakeside scenery.
