Red Deer River Provincial Recreation Area

Red Deer River Provincial Recreation Area, located in Clearwater County’s West Country, offers riverside camping with easy access to paddling on the Red Deer River. Set in the foothills 60 km southwest of Sundre along the Forestry Trunk Road (Hwy. 734), this campground sits beside Fisher-Wigwam Creek, creating a peaceful natural backdrop. Campers can relax among trees, listen to the creek, and enjoy a simple base for exploring the surrounding wilderness. With close access to the Red Deer River, it is a convenient launch point for rafting, canoeing, or kayaking trips. Visitors can spend the day on the water, then return to a quiet campsite to unwind and take in the fresh mountain air.
