This, of course, is in addition to lounging on the shoreline, building sandcastles, reading a book or grabbing a bite to eat at their restaurant.

Interested in staying the night? Head to their website and see their availability now.

Sites are suitable for RVs, Tents, and camper vans – but they also have cabins and can be visited for a short time, as long as you’re willing to pay the $18 day-pass fee.

As the largest privately owned campground in Alberta, there’s truly nothing like it, so check it out!

Heck, maybe we’ll see you out there. Life is a beach!
