This quiet recreation area offers camping nestled in the mixed forest at the heart of the Highwood Valley. A favourite spot for those wanting something a little more remote and serene, it offers a day use area, a group camping area, a small first come first serve equestrian campground, and a larger campground that offers both reservable and first come first serve sites. Potable water and a sani-dump are available 6km away at the Highwood Junction (the intersection of highways 40, 541, and 940), which also has a seasonal convenience store selling gas and diesel.
