Q. We don't want to drive more than 4 hours away from where we live (Camrose AB) or from Edmonton. And yes I searched "campgrounds near Edmonton" on here and got ONE.
Anyways, we wanted to go to gull lake but it's been booked for months. Is there any place (lake not an asset, neither is electricity) near us that we could go to? We are tenting (8 of us) with two vehicles for transportation. We spontaneously decided to go camping so no we couldn't book any place.
We want to go July 16-18 so quick and helpful answers is appreciated :) experience in a place would be nice, but not needed. Please no sites!!! Unless they are the campground's site. Thanks :)

How about Elk Island National Park.
Park, swimming, camping, golf course, Ukranian Heritage Village (really good)

Canoe camping in Alberta/BC mountains?
Q. Hi there. I'm looking to do a 3 or 4 day (2 or 3 nights) canoe camping trip somewhere in the mountains this summer, preferably in the Alberta rockies, since I live in Edmonton. I'm looking for a lake in the mountains with beautiful scenery and places to camp along the lake shore. Can anyone suggest any good lakes to do this? Thanks very much.
Answer
A few summers ago, my family went to the Lower Kananaskis Lake. It is by far my favorite lake! The scenery is Absolutely stunning. You're surrounded by mountains!
We got a camping spot right on the lake, so were were canoeing and kayaking everyday. There is a little tiny island with a picnic table that we went out to for picnics. There is also a waterfall that is really nice!
The entire campground has many biking trails. Unfortunately, when we went there, they were closed due to bear season, so I recommend going before August, but after early June because of the low water levels. There is also a canoe/ kayak rental place not too far away. As well as a showering facility. The water is pretty cold, but we went swimming anyway. Lots of fish, so if you're a fisher, you'd probably like it.
Maybe check out the upper kananaskis lake too. Go on google images.
