Private campgroundwhat to expect
Located only 31km from Rocky Mountain House along Highway 752, Strachan Provincial Recreation Area provides the quiet, rustic experience you are looking for with close proximity to town amenities. Nestled along Prairie Creek, this park provides opportunities for picnics, fishing, overnight camping, and visitors looking to gather together at the Group Use Area. Please ensure you bring firewood, drinking water, and a map of the area if you plan to visit as no services are available, and cell phone reception is limited. While campers may take advantage of the proximity to off-highway vehicle (OHV) trails, off-loading or operating OHVs inside the park is strictly prohibited. OHVs must remain on trailers until they reach the nearby trail systems and staging areas.
