  • Petro Beach is my favorite place as it’s relatively quiet, and water is calmer, perfect for paddle boarding. Free parking. Bathrooms on site.

  • This is an amazing campground ⛺️ . The sites are large and spaced nicely with lots of trees surrounding them. Flush toilets 🚽 near the sites and a main washroom/shower building. There are lots of trails in and around the campground. It’s located right on Sylvan Lake but there is no beach access. There are a couple of playgrounds for kids to enjoy. The town of Sylvan Lake is about 10 minutes away yet the campground is quiet and feels remote. The rates are reasonable and many sites have power. My wife and I visited family here and were really impressed with the experience and the overall cleanliness. We would definitely come here and camp 🏕 in the future.
  • Loved this campground! Huge campsites with tons of privacy and shade. We had friends who had a campsite next to us and couldn't hear each other but was still just a short walk away. Great amenities: showers, flush toilets a quick walk away from anywhere, garbage cans convenient, and lots of walking trails! We also checked out the campground shop for some ice cream the last night. Very friendly employees and impressed how well equipped the campground is.
  • This campground is one of our favourites to visit. The sites are great size and covered with trees for shade. Nice walking / biking trails. Clean washrooms & shower would highly recommend visiting this campground.
  • Went camping this Canada Day. Omg what a campground. Showers, flushable toilets, trees, lake view, power. Haha! Felt like the most comfortable camping trip in last 5 years. Sylvan lake town is a cherry on the top. Beautiful town and lake. Little crowded on a nice day.
  • Spacious large sites, trails are awesome for exploring, washrooms and showers were top notch, clean, running water, flush toilets, luxury away from home. Didn't seem like a provincial park. No real accessible beach that we found without going down a cliff. Firewood bags really small
