Camping near Northern Sunrise County
Northern Sunrise County sits in Alberta's Peace Country, a municipal district in northern Alberta located east of the Town of Peace River, with its municipal office at the intersection of Highway 2 and Highway 688. The county spans boreal forest, river valleys along the Peace and Smoky rivers, and productive lake country used by RV travellers through the warmer months.
Campground options range from year-round private parks to seasonal provincial campgrounds within a short drive. Rendez Vous RV Park and Storage sits just east of Peace River and operates as a fully-serviced year-round park a few minutes east of town off the junction of Highway 2 and 688, offering 30 and 50 amp power across pull-through and back-in stalls. The Creek Campground offers longer-stay flexibility with nightly, weekly, and monthly options.
For provincial-park camping, Queen Elizabeth Provincial Park sits along the shores of Lac Cardinal, 3 km north and 5 km west of Grimshaw off Hwy. 35, and Winagami Lake Provincial Park lies about 20 km north of High Prairie on Hwy. 749, then west and north on access roads. Shaws Point Lakeside Resort, a large lakefront resort on Lesser Slave Lake, expands options for families willing to drive farther for a beach-focused stay.
Things to do near Northern Sunrise County
Water recreation anchors most trips. Winagami Lake provides opportunities for fishing, ice fishing, boating, windsurfing, paddling, and birdwatching, with a wading pool in the day use area and roughly 2 km of trail for hiking and cycling in the warmer months, and skiing and snowshoeing in winter. At Queen Elizabeth Provincial Park, visitors can hike or mountain bike along the shore and through boreal forest trails, and use a hand launch for kayaks, canoes, and small watercraft; Lac Cardinal's shallow waters cannot support a fish population, but the vegetation makes for great birdwatching, with over 140 species recorded in the park.
On land, the Twelve Foot Davis Gravesite viewpoint above the Peace River valley is a common regional stop. Anglers on Winagami Lake target northern pike, walleye, yellow perch, burbot, and lake whitefish.

The camping season in this part of Alberta is short and weather-driven. Provincial-park campgrounds in northern Alberta typically open around the May long weekend and close after the September long weekend, with July and August the busiest weeks and lake-adjacent sites filling first.
Shoulder-season trips in May, early June, and September can be rewarding but require preparation for cold nights, wet ground, and reduced services. At Winagami Lake Provincial Park, reservations can be made 90 days in advance of arrival date, and water is shut off for the season in mid-September, so late-season RVers should arrive with tanks filled. Wildfire smoke and fire bans are a real factor in mid to late summer across northern Alberta, so travellers should check Alberta Wildfire status before departure.
Winter travel is possible but narrows the field. A limited number of year-round campgrounds operate, though these may not have full potable-water service. Rendez Vous RV Park operates year-round, making it a practical base for winter snowmobiling or aurora-viewing trips.
How to book campgrounds near Northern Sunrise County
Alberta's provincial parks use a centralized reservation platform operated by Alberta Parks, with bookings made online or by phone. Reservations at Queen Elizabeth Provincial Park can be made 90 days in advance of arrival date, and the campground offers a mix of first-come, first-served and reservable sites. Winagami Lake also opens for reservations 90 days in advance of arrival date.
Summer weekends, especially in July and August, tend to book out quickly once the 90-day window opens. Powered sites and group sites go first, so plan to log in the morning the target date opens. Both parks also hold back some first-come, first-served sites for walk-ins.
Private campgrounds such as Rendez Vous RV Park and Shaws Point Lakeside Resort take reservations directly through their own websites or by phone. The Creek Campground accepts nightly, weekly, and monthly stays, useful for work travel or extended family visits.
What to expect at campgrounds near Northern Sunrise County
Sites are mostly treed and lakeside or riverside rather than open prairie. Queen Elizabeth Provincial Park has 56 camp sites, with 42 offering power and all with fire pits and picnic tables, plus potable water, washrooms, and a dump station on site. Winagami Lake Campground has 66 treed sites suitable for both tents and RVs, with unserviced and powered options and firepits provided; there are pit toilets in the campground loops, the shower building offers flush toilets and showers, and sewage disposal is located near the entrance to the provincial park.
Most towns and communities in the region have good cell service and internet access, but in remote areas coverage may be limited, so download maps before heading out.
Expect long daylight hours in June and July, cool nights even in midsummer, and bugs near lake shores. Bring layers, bug spray, and a plan for firewood, since bans and local supply rules change through the season.
