Campgrounds near High River, Alberta
High River sits in the foothills of southern Alberta, roughly an hour south of Calgary along Highway 2, and serves as a practical base for RV travellers heading toward Kananaskis Country, Waterton Lakes, or the Bar U Ranch National Historic Site. The town is best known as the filming location for the Canadian series Heartland, which continues to draw visitors year after year.
Campground options in the immediate area lean toward small, town-run and service-club sites rather than large resort parks. George Lane Park and Campground sits beside the Highwood River within walking distance of downtown shopping and restaurants, with 57 individual sites offering 15 and 30 amp power, fire pits, picnic tables, well-maintained washrooms with free showers, potable water, and a free sani-dump. A short drive north, Okotoks Lions Sheep River Campground offers 61 sites along the Sheep River in the heart of Okotoks, with full-service hookups including 30-amp power, water, and sewer connections. Riverbend Campground, Natures Hideaway Campground, and JJS RV Resort round out the nearby choices for RV travellers.
Things to do around High River
Downtown High River is compact and walkable from George Lane Park and Campground, with murals, cafés, and the Museum of the Highwood within a few blocks. High River is known as the filming location of the Canadian TV series Heartland, and self-guided tours of nearby filming sites are popular with families. The Highwood River and adjacent pathway system support fishing, walking, and cycling. Day trips are easy: the Bar U Ranch National Historic Site sits southwest along Highway 22, Kananaskis Country is roughly an hour west, and Calgary attractions including Heritage Park and the Calgary Zoo are an easy drive north. From Okotoks Lions Sheep River Campground, the Sheep River pathway, the Big Rock erratic, and Sheep River Provincial Park are all close. Bring bikes; the regional pathways link several of these towns.

The camping season in the High River area is short and well defined. George Lane Park and Campground is open from May 1 to September 30, and Okotoks Lions Sheep River Campground operates on the same May to September seasonal schedule. Outside those windows most local sites are closed, water is shut off to protect plumbing from freezing, and overnight RV parking in town is limited.
July and August are peak months, with warm dry days, cool nights, and the highest occupancy. The Calgary Stampede in early July pulls weekend traffic across the entire region, and sites within an hour of Calgary fill quickly during that stretch. June is the wettest month of the year and can bring sustained rain; the area's flood history means RV travellers should monitor river levels along the Highwood and Sheep rivers during heavy rain events. September offers cooler temperatures, fewer crowds, and more reliable shoulder-season availability. Snow can arrive by mid-October, and campgrounds typically wind down before Thanksgiving.

We had an amazing time, Julia made everything very easy.

Julia was extremely kind and helpful. She gave us a full tour of the RV and how to use every amenity, how to dump and how to refill with fresh water. She even went out of her way to grab more blankets for us when we got concerned about being too cold at night. The RV was up to date and very clean, and Julia was very flexible with drop off and pick up times. If you have any concerns about cleanliness, attentiveness, flexibility and communication - I would like to reassure anyone that our needs were met during this trip. Would definitely recommend.

Han was an amazing host to deal with. He has a very high standard for customer service and will do whatever he can to make your experience the best that it can be. Han is also a really nice guy to talk to and makes the rental process very smooth. The RV was perfect for our family of 4 young children and was well stocked with everything you need to have a great vacation. I would definitely recommend renting from Han and we likely do so again in the future.

How to book campgrounds near High River
Bookings in the High River area go directly through each campground rather than through a single provincial or federal system. For George Lane Park and Campground, reservations are handled by the local Lions Club by phone at 403-652-2529 or by email at [email protected], with messages typically returned in the spring; online reservations are also offered through the CampLife platform. Okotoks Lions Sheep River Campground takes reservations through its own website at okotokslionscampground.com and welcomes pets at the manager's discretion. Alberta Parks sites in the wider region, including Sheep River Provincial Park and Kananaskis Country, use Shop.AlbertaParks.ca on a 90-day rolling booking window that advances one day each morning at 9 a.m. Mountain Time. For long weekends in July and August, book as early as the reservation window allows; popular full-service sites are typically gone within minutes of opening.
What to expect at High River campgrounds
Expect small, tidy, town-adjacent campgrounds rather than destination resorts. George Lane sits among hundreds of mature trees with pull-through and back-in sites, each with 15 and 30 amp power, a fire pit, and a picnic table; amenities include potable water, a free sani-dump, clean washrooms with free showers, and Wi-Fi. Full sewer hookups are limited at George Lane but standard at Okotoks Lions, where most of the 61 sites are full-service with 30-amp power, water, and sewer. Okotoks Lions also offers flush toilets, a picnic shelter, a playground, pull-through sites, and a gated entrance. Cell coverage is reliable across the area. Nights are cool even in midsummer because of the foothills elevation near 1,040 metres, so pack layers. Standard bear-aware food storage is sensible on day trips west into Kananaskis.
