The Ultimate Guide to Camping in Nordegg and Abraham Lake

By Matthew G. Bailey 2 Comments

Preachers Point Abraham Lake Alberta
These are just some of the sights you’ll enjoy while camping in Nordegg and Abraham Lake.

Few people have explored Nordegg and the David Thompson region as much as we have. Every year, we find ourselves back in this mountain paradise to experience more adventure, whether that’s a gentle float down the North Saskatchewan River or an adrenaline-pumping climb up the steepest Via Ferrata in the province.

We know Nordegg very well and that’s because we love it so much. Sandwiched in-between famous destinations like Banff and Jasper, Nordegg and David Thompson Country offer similar mountain adventures with much, much, much fewer crowds.

However, despite the lack of crowds, there aren’t a lot of accommodation options in Nordegg. There are some lovely Nordegg cabins, such as Expanse Cottages and Nature’s Getaway, and there are hotels in nearby Rocky Mountain House, but when it comes to the rugged expanse of David Thompson Country, there are not many places to rest your head.

This is where camping in Nordegg and the surrounding region come in handy. Whether you have a tent or an RV, there are both paid and almost-free options for Nordegg camping. In this guide to camping in Nordegg, we’ll fill you in on all the possibilities.

The Best Camping in Ontario

By Matthew G. Bailey 51 Comments

Ontario is a great representation of Canada’s wonderful inland waters. It borders all five Great Lakes and it’s dotted with thousands of smaller lakes and rivers, making it a great place to spend the summer in Canada. Camping in Ontario is a great way to be among nature and enjoy the destination that holds much of the world’s freshwater.

Although Ontario is one of the largest provinces in Canada and home to some of its biggest cities, it’s also home to a treasure-trove of nature, including more than 100 provincial parks. Most parks are open from late spring (May or June) until fall (Labour Day or Thanksgiving Day) and some are open year-round such as Algonquin, MacGregor Point, Pinery, and Killarney, to name a few. 

Camping is one of our favourite ways to enjoy the summer, so in this camping in Ontario travel guide, we’re going to share with you the different types of camping, how to book camping spots and the most popular places to go camping in Ontario.
