Free camping near Edmonton

These 35 sites within 100 km of Edmonton are dispersed and crown-land camping — no services, no reservations, and no fees at most of them. Rules differ by land designation: a public land use zone (PLUZ) has its own camping-pass and stay-limit rules, while vacant crown land is more open but still regulated. There are no taps, toilets, or garbage bins — pack out everything you pack in.

know before you go

Fire bans change fast. Alberta and BC post bans and restrictions daily — check the current status before you light anything. In a fire ban, that includes charcoal and, sometimes, propane.
No amenities. Assume no water, no toilets, no picnic tables, and no cell signal. Bring what you need and a way to pack out all waste, including grey water.
Access roads are unverified. Many of these sites sit at the end of gravel or forestry roads that wash out, gate seasonally, or need clearance. Confirm conditions with the land manager and don't rely on a single map pin.
Know the land designation. A PLUZ may require a camping pass and cap your stay; vacant public land has its own rules. Camp only where dispersed camping is actually permitted.
