Blue Rock Campground Alberta
Kananaskis Country.
Blue Rock campground is located
approximately
40km
west of the town of
Turner Valley
and
15km
west of
Sandy McNabb campground.
This campground offers 83 campsites
for both tents and larger RV's, dry
toilets, water pumps, garbage bins,
picnic tables and fire pits. Dry
firewood is available here for sale
in small bundles. There is also a
nearby equestrian campground with
several spots including unloading
ramps and hitching posts for horses.
The nearby Sheep River runs crystal clear
and is home to wild
Cutthroat
Trout, Bull Trout and
Rainbow Trout. You'll need a
fishing
license to try your luck, see
regulations for catch and release.
If you like to mountain bike, this
campground is a perfect base camp.
There is an old logging road that
follows the valley bottom towards
Little Bow
Campground. If you want
to complete this loop it may require
an overnight stay in the back
country. Deer, Elk, Bear and
Bighorn Sheep
are all around this area.
Sheep
River Falls and
Indian Oils is
located just east of here and worth
the hike or drive. Views of the
pools and eddies along the Sheep
River are beautiful and very
inviting. To bad the water is to
cold for swimming. The hike along
Blue Rock creek offers excellent
views of the Blue Rock valley. More
hikes
Here.
Night
skies here are very dark (#3 on the
Bortle Scale).
This is Bear
country, food and food related items
