Brazeau Reservoir Campground Alberta

Brazeau Reservoir Campground Provincial Recreational Area.

Brazeau Reservoir Campground is located approximately 230km Southwest of Edmonton. There are 3 campgrounds with a total of 69 campsites. Each site has a picnic table and fire pit. Most of the camp sites are surrounded by Aspen and Spruce trees which provide good privacy. Some of the sites are located on or near the reservoir but not close enough to keep a boat next to. This campground has a water hand pump, dry toilets, refuse containers, fire wood, good boat launch, fish cleaning stations and a sandy beach area. Brazeau Reservoir is excellent for power boating, canoeing, kayaking and fishing. Be careful with a power boat, there are a few shallow spots and floating debris can be a real hazard here. The reservoir is man made for hydroelectricity and is approximately 13km long with the dam on the Northeast end. Bird watching can be very good as the reservoir attracts several different bird species. The reservoir holds Trout, Char, Grayling and Whitefish, you'll need a fishing license to try out your luck. Children will like it here, they can play on the beach and go fishing on a nearby pond that is stocked with Rainbow trout. Night skies here rank # 2 on the Bortle Scale. The road leading to the campground is paved. The West Canal and East Canal campgrounds are located within a few km's of here. This is Bear country, food and food related items must be stored properly.
