Hangingstone Provincial Recreation Area

Hangingstone Provincial Recreation Area in Anzac offers forested campsites and dark skies, ideal for birdwatching by day and stargazing at night. Located 35 km south of Fort McMurray on Highway 63, this quiet campground is surrounded by mature trees that create a sheltered, back-to-nature feel. Campers can choose from basic sites suitable for both tents and RVs, making it a simple base for exploring the Wood Buffalo region.

With its rustic facilities and peaceful setting, it offers an easy escape into Alberta’s wild side without travelling far from the city.
