The Summer Village of Rochon Sands operates both the 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.  The campground is open from May Long Weekend to Thanksgiving (weather dependent on the closure date).

Lake Life Under the Stars!

Rochon Sands Provincial Park is one of the older provincial parks in Alberta that has a wonderful natural feeling.  The park is full of treed sites, picnic tables, and fire pits, and is very close to the lake.  It is the perfect place to make memories with your family and friends!

The provincial park has:
  • 67 RV sites
  • 11 walk-in tenting sites
  • 6 large RV group sites
  • 2 small RV group sites
  • and 3 small group tenting areas
We can accommodate any size of unit in the campground. 

Most of our sites do not have power; 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 have 2 individual sites and 1 group site that have power: Site #1, Site #2 & Group Site A.  We are working towards adding power to sites in the future.  

Rochon Sands Provincial Park only has non-potable water in the campground.  If you require potable water, there is a coin and card-operated potable bucket fill station on the east side of HWY 835 as you enter the boundary of the Summer Village of Rochon Sands.

I had the pleasure of camping at Rochon Sands, again. We have camped there many times.
Abby was an excellent staff member to take our bookings. Her real positive attitude and willingness to help certainly added to our pleasure of camping. We must be proud of our young people who go the extra mile in completing their job.

Clean, organized, friendly and well-run. There are so many birds here; it's a great place for birding. Nice trails to walk and nice beach. Small playground. Tent camping was lovely.
