Cypress County camping overview
Cypress County sits in southeastern Alberta and wraps around the city of Medicine Hat, stretching south to the U.S. border and east to the Saskatchewan line. For RV travellers, the county is best known as the Alberta gateway to Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park, a forested plateau that rises well above the surrounding prairie and forms the highest point in Canada between the Rocky Mountains and Labrador.
Most reservable RV sites cluster in two areas. Inside the park, Beaver Creek, Old Baldy, Ferguson Hill, and Lodgepole campgrounds sit near the Elkwater townsite and Elkwater Lake, mixing lodgepole pine forest with lake and meadow settings. Closer to Highway 1 and Medicine Hat, Redcliff Municipal Campground in the town of Redcliff offers a small, serviced base for travellers who want town amenities a short drive away. Together these options cover everything from serviced family stays to quieter forest sites for longer trips.
Things to do near Cypress County
Most activity centres on Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park. Elkwater Lake has a sandy beach, boat launch, and rentals for kayaks, canoes, and stand-up paddleboards in summer. More than 50 kilometres of trails carry hikers and mountain bikers between viewpoints such as Head of the Mountain, Horseshoe Canyon, and Reesor Lake, where long prairie views open up on clear days. The park is a Dark Sky Preserve, and stargazing nights at the observatory draw families. History stops include Fort Walsh National Historic Site on the Saskatchewan side of the park. Closer to Redcliff and Medicine Hat, travellers can fit in the Medicine Hat museums, the South Saskatchewan River valley, and a disc golf course and free mini-golf at Elkwater.

The main RV season runs from the May long weekend through Thanksgiving in October, when Alberta Parks campgrounds in Cypress Hills are fully serviced and the Elkwater townsite is active. Redcliff Municipal Campground opens for the season in mid-May and operates through October, lining up with the regional pattern.
July and August are peak months. Days are warm and dry, lake activities are in full swing, and weekends book out well in advance. Late June and early September are quieter alternatives with cooler nights, fewer bugs, and good trail conditions. The spring shoulder season brings the greenest landscape but also the wettest weather, with May and June carrying the highest monthly precipitation.
Winter visitors will find the Elkwater area active for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, fat biking, and a small downhill ski hill, though serviced RV camping is limited outside the main season.
Top Hosts near Cypress County, AB
Great unit, Brandon was super easy to deal with and had it delivered to the site on time. It was ready to go when we arrived. Clean and very well setup for a weekend getaway. Would definitely rent again!

Great and spacious family camper
Simon O. - Aug 2026
This was our second time renting from Jamie, and once again, we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Everything was smooth and easy from start to finish.
Steven W. - Sep 2026
Jaime was a great host! The camper layout is awesome. The fridge and freezer are a good size, the mattresses were comfortable, the essentials like soap, toilet paper, dishes, pots, cutlery, keurig coffee maker, were all there including mattress protectors & top sheets. It was so worth having the camper delivered and picked up (instant relaxing). We can't wait to come back. For new app users, prepare to take photos on arrival and departure to upload to the app as your inspection report. I highly recommend renting from Jaime. Renting was an extremely smooth process.

How to book campgrounds near Cypress County
Sites inside Cypress Hills Provincial Park on the Alberta side, including Beaver Creek, Old Baldy, Ferguson Hill, and Lodgepole, are booked through the Alberta Parks reservation system at reserve.albertaparks.ca. Reservations can be made for today and up to 90 days in advance, so popular summer weekends require planning the booking window carefully and logging in the moment the window opens.
Redcliff Municipal Campground is booked online through the Let's Camp platform, with no first come first served sites. For long weekends in July and August, plan to reserve as soon as the window opens. Serviced sites and pull-throughs that fit larger Class A and fifth-wheel rigs are the first to go. Mid-week stays in June and September are easier to secure on shorter notice.
What to expect when camping near Cypress County
Cypress Hills feels different from the surrounding prairie. Sites sit among lodgepole pine and aspen at higher elevation, so nights run cooler than Medicine Hat even in midsummer. Cell service is patchy inside the park and stronger near the Elkwater townsite. Roads are paved to the main campgrounds, with gravel inside loops.
The Beaver Creek, Old Baldy, Ferguson Hill, and Lodgepole campgrounds offer a mix of powered and unserviced sites in forested settings around Elkwater. Elkwater village has a small grocery, fuel, restaurants, and a visitor centre. Wildlife sightings are common, including deer, moose, elk, and wild turkeys, so food storage rules apply. Redcliff Municipal Campground offers a quieter, town-side base with 16 sites, three drive-through stalls, washrooms and showers, a sewer dump, fresh water, and 30 or 50 amp electrical service.
