What to expect at Pincher Creek No. 9 campgrounds

Expect rustic to mid-service facilities rather than full hookups. Beauvais Lake has seasonal potable water, a sani-dump, two playgrounds, year-round outhouses, and a mix of powered and unpowered sites. Windy Point has a boat launch and pier but no on-site dump station; the sewage disposal station for Oldman Dam is located at Castleview Campground on the north side of the river. Water from the hand pump at Windy Point is not safe for drinking, so RVers should arrive with full fresh-water tanks, and campfires are prohibited there. Lundbreck Falls has powered, unserviced, and walk-in tenting sites but limited on-site services, including no firewood. Castle Falls and Maycroft are unserviced with pit toilets and basic facilities. Cell service is patchy at the more remote sites, and wind, especially around the reservoir, can be strong.
