Crescent
Falls Campground Provincial Park Recreation
Area.
Crescent
Falls Campground is located
110km
West of
Rocky Mountain
House.
Approximately 4 hours Southwest of
the city of
Edmonton
and 3.5 hours Northwest of the city
of
Calgary.
There are a total of 29 campsites with picnic
tables and fire pits. Although the
campground is not that remote it
does have a very remote feel to it. There are 5 or
six walk-in tent sites located
next to the
Big Horn River.
All of the camp sites are surrounded
by
Spruce tress that provide good privacy. This campground
has a hand water pump, dry toilets,
fire wood, equestrian area, corrals,
loading ramp, and community kitchen.
There is also a very nice day use
area and equestrian campground with
all the necessary amenities for
horses. The campground is located
very close to the Crescent
Falls view point. There are a few
nice hiking trails that run along
the top of the Big Horn Valley.
You'll see spectacular views of the
double tiered
Crescent Falls and the
Big Horn Canyon. The falls are very
popular during the summer months. Night skies here
rank #1 on the
Bortle Scale.
The well maintained gravel road
leading to the campground is
approximately
6km
long and very dusty.
Check the official campground web
site link below before you go. Each
year the road near the campground
tends to wash out in the early
spring.
There are several hiking trails
located in this area. To mention a
few,
Siffleur
Falls,
Crescent Falls,
Hoodoo Creek, Kinglet Lake,
Two
O'clock Ridge,
Vision Quest, Windy
Point Ridge, Allstones Creek,
