75 stalls, many full service and pull-through sites. Fire pit and picnic table. Firewood for sale, showers, laundry. Discounts for seniors and Lion’s Club members. Lions Campground in Whitecourt sits right along the Athabasca River, tucked beneath tall trees that whisper like they’re in on some local gossip. It’s close to town but still feels like you’ve ducked out into proper nature—quiet, shaded, and uncomplicated. Most sites have power, water, or both, and you’ve got the usual comforts: washrooms, showers, picnic spots, and easy access to walking trails that spool out along the riverbank.

It’s a straightforward, no-nonsense campground—nothing flashy, nothing trying to sell you a lifestyle. Just clean sites, a calm setting, and the river doing its slow, steady thing nearby. If you want a simple place to park the trailer or pitch a tent without fuss, this is the kind of spot that just gets on with it.
