Sheep Creek Campground

Alberta Provincial Recreation Area

The Sheep Creek campground is located approximately 28km North of the Town of Grande Cache and approximately 172km North West of the Town of Hinton. There are a total of 9 sites for both tents and larger RV's, fire wood, picnic tables, water and a dry toilet. The Smoky River flows along side the campground and offers good fishing for Rainbow Trout, Bull Trout and Rocky Mountain Whitefish, you'll need a fishing license to try your luck. White water rafting trips are often taken on this stretch of the Smoky River. This area is also good for ATV's and snowmobiles. When driving north of Grande Cache you'll notice a large coal mining operation along the West side of the highway. It's interesting to note that near the entrance to the campground the power lines were moved as they were originally placed over the top of a native childs gravesite.
