Camping near Okotoks
Okotoks sits on the Sheep River in Alberta's foothills, about a 20-minute drive south of Calgary on Highway 2. The town is a practical base for RV travellers heading to Kananaskis Country, Banff, the Bar U Ranch National Historic Site, and the Calgary Stampede, while still offering grocery stores, hospitals, and RV service shops within town limits.
The closest in-town option is Okotoks Lions Sheep River Campground on Woodhaven Drive, a 61-site park run by the local Lions Club along the Sheep River with full hookups, a playground, and direct access to the town's Happy Trails pathway system. Riverbend Campground is a larger full-service park south of town. Natures Hideaway Campground sits east of Okotoks toward Calgary, and George Lane Park and Campground in nearby High River and Foothills Lions Centennial Campground round out the cluster of family-run, riverside options in the area.
Things to do around Okotoks
The Sheep River runs through the centre of town and supports tubing, fishing, and shallow wading spots that work well for kids. The Happy Trails network links riverside parks to Olde Towne Okotoks, where families can walk or cycle in for shops, restaurants, and the Okotoks Erratic (the Big Rock) just west of town. Sheep River Provincial Park, about 40 minutes west, has waterfalls, bighorn sheep viewing, and short hikes suited to younger children. Day trips reach Kananaskis Country, the Bar U Ranch National Historic Site near Longview, and Calgary attractions including the Zoo, Heritage Park, and Stampede grounds. In High River, the George Lane Park area hosts a baseball diamond, playgrounds, and an outdoor bandstand used for summer events.

Most campgrounds in the Okotoks area run a seasonal schedule that mirrors Alberta's short, intense camping window. Okotoks Lions Sheep River Campground typically operates from May 1 through the end of September, and George Lane Park and Campground in High River runs from May 1 through September 30 under the Highwood Lions Club. Spring opening dates can be pushed back when foothills snow lingers.
July and August are peak season: warm days, long evenings, and the Calgary Stampede in early July drive sites to fill weeks in advance. May and September offer cooler nights, fewer bugs, and easier last-minute booking, but RV travellers should be ready for overnight frost and occasional snow at the shoulders. June is the wettest month in this part of Alberta, and the Sheep and Highwood rivers can run high after foothills snowmelt. Winter camping is not generally offered at the riverside Lions sites, which close once water systems are shut down.

Paul was so good at explaining everything about the RV to us upon pick up. He was very patient and thorough. Travelling by RV is amazing. We had heat when it was cold, and a roof when it poured rain! We drove directly to the trailheads first thing in the morning to get a parking spot and then cooked our breakfast in the RV before beginning our hikes. Travelling by RV is a great way to travel. We will definitely travel this way again.

We had an amazing time, Julia made everything very easy.
Jake W. - Sep 2026
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.

How to book campgrounds near Okotoks
Most parks in this area are run by local Lions clubs or private operators rather than a provincial reservation system, so booking is done directly with each campground. Okotoks Lions Sheep River Campground opens reservations each year on March 1, and sites for July and August long weekends typically book out quickly. George Lane Park and Campground in High River accepts reservations year-round through the Highwood Lions Club by phone or email, with messages returned starting in spring. Riverbend Campground and Natures Hideaway Campground take reservations through their own websites. For Kananaskis Country and Alberta Parks sites west of Okotoks, bookings go through reserve.albertaparks.ca, which uses a rolling 90-day window for individual campsites. Cancellation policies vary by operator, and long weekend cancellations usually carry stricter penalties.
What to expect on the ground
Sites in and around Okotoks are mostly developed, treed, and family-oriented rather than backcountry. Okotoks Lions Sheep River Campground offers 30-amp full hookups across most of its 61 sites, plus flush toilets, hot showers, a playground, a dump station, and on-site camp hosts. George Lane Park and Campground provides 57 treed sites with 15- and 30-amp power, pull-throughs for larger rigs, a free sani-dump, potable water, and walking access to downtown High River. Cell service is reliable throughout the area, and Wi-Fi is offered at several parks, though often limited near the office. Mosquitoes can be heavy near the rivers after wet stretches in June and July, and wildlife in the foothills west of town includes deer, coyotes, and occasional bears, so standard food storage practices apply.
