Dinosaur Provincial Park is a UNESCO world heritage site. Our park is located at the heart of Alberta’s badlands. There are over 120 RV and tent friendly sites, including unserviced, powered and pull-through options. This campground is nestled in the valley by the Red Deer River, shaded by cotton-wood trees, and many sites back onto the creek. Explore the beautiful, unique landscape on foot, take a guided tour and look for dinosaur bones, enjoy a show at the amphitheatre or stop in for a bite to eat/ice cream cone at our service center. Whatever you like to do, camping in the badlands is an unforgettable experience.

Park geology provides evidence that this area was a lush coastal plain adjacent to the Bearpaw Sea, at the time of the dinosaurs, but the present day landscape is the result of glacial melt-water from the end of the Wisconsin Ice Age, only 15,000 years ago. Today, the Park contains three important habitats: prairie grassland, badlands and riparian (riverside), which together support a rich bio-diversity. Towering plains cottonwood trees, prickly pear cactus, and sagebrush all contribute to the variety of plant life. Over 165 species of birds can be seen in the park, including threatened species such as the ferruginous hawk and golden eagle. Mammals living here include cottontail rabbits, bats, mule deer, pronghorn antelope, weasels, porcupines, red fox, and coyotes.
