The Summer Village of Rochon Sands administers both Rochon Sands Provincial Park and The Narrows Provincial Recreation Area which are located on the south shores of Buffalo Lake. Both campgrounds are managed on-site by campsite managers and are monitored for the safety and enjoyment of our guests.
To describe Rochon Sands Provincial Park, it is one of the older provincial parks in Alberta that has a wonderful natural feeling. The park is full of treed sited, picnic tables, fire pits, and it is very close to the lake. It is the perfect place to make memories with your family and friends!
The provincial park has 78 RV sites, 11 walk-in tenting sites, and 7 large group sites, and 2 smaller group tenting areas. We can accommodate any size of unit in the campground. Most of our sites are UNSERVICED; therefore, generators are allowed. They must be on the user's site and turned off during the quiet hours of 11 PM to 7 AM. We only have 2 sites that have power: Site #2 & Group A. We are working towards having some serviced sites in the future. We only have non-potable water in the campground, so we ask for campers to please come full with water. The Park Office does have an outside spigot that has potable water. You can fill camping water jugs from it, even after hours at the office for your convenience. |

We strongly suggest making reservations during the months of July and August but there are 8 First-Come-First-Serve (FCFS) (site numbers 12, 14, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25) available. The sites must be paid in full to reserve any sites, including group sites. We have an online reservation system: CampReservations.ca that will be open on March 11 at 10am, 2024 for the 2024 camping season.
During Mid-May to September Long Weekend, the park office staff is there to help you with any questions or concerns and try their best to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. In the office, we keep some items for the beach, ice, and firewood to purchase. We take many types of payment during operational hours:
- Cash
- Cheques
- Credit cards through the online reservation system :
- OptionPay for credit cards (Narrows Campground)
After September Long Weekend, the campground becomes FCFS and self-registration only. Please have cash or cheques for payment during that period. Credit Card payments can also be made through OptionPay. The office is also closed for the rest of the season starting from the Monday of the September Long Weekend.
The campground is open to camp from May Long Weekend to Thanksgiving (weather dependent on the closure date).
