Fish Lake Campground

;

One of the region’s largest campgrounds, set on the shores of Shunda Lake and a short distance from Nordegg.

This is one of the only campgrounds in the region to have pull-through sites with power (30 amp). The campground is located in the forest along the lake and offers a wide range of sites for RVs and tents.

This is a great option whether you prefer to fish or paddle on the lake, head out for a hike or relax by the campfire. This makes for a great base camp with Nordegg and Abraham Lake nearby along with a host of biking trails, historic mine tours and much more to do.

Responsible Adventures

We all have our part to do to keep this place special. Planning ahead is key to ensuring that we all continue to enjoy adventures in the Nordegg & Abraham Lake region. These are a few of the things you can do to help:

  • Minimize your impact by using existing campsites, fire rings and toilets instead of creating your own.
  • Know about current fire bans, make sure that your fire is completely out before you go and buy firewood instead of cutting down trees. Remember that shooting fireworks is not allowed in the region.
  • Keep your site clean and your food stored inside your vehicle to help keep our wildlife wild.
  • Keep a quiet site and be mindful of your neighbours.
  • Be prepared for adventures in a remote area. Explore within your skills to reduce the strain on our volunteer search and rescue team.
  • Information provided here may be inaccurate or outdated. Always make sure to obtain current information before going on your adventure.
  • Support local businesses and communities in Cline River, the Bighorn and Nordegg.
