What to expect at Vermilion River County campgrounds
Sites here are a mix of treed prairie campground and lakefront forest. At Vermilion Provincial Park, some sites are separated by stands of trees while others are open with trees for shade, and all are suitable for RVs. High populations of Richardson's ground squirrels exist at the park, mainly in the campground and picnic areas; they do not pose a direct risk to human health or safety but can be a nuisance.
Ross Lake offers more forest cover, with 150 well-treed campsites, 144 of which have power hookups, a wheelchair-accessible site, and amenities including a camp store, shower house, tap water, a playground, and a sanitary dump station. Firewood is sold on-site, the small camp store stocks staples, and campers will also find a boat launch, a life-jacket loaner station, and a fish cleaning station. Cell coverage is generally reliable near Lloydminster and Vermilion and weaker around the lakes.
