Castle Provincial Park

About Castle Provincial Park

Castle Provincial Park and the neighbouring Castle Wildland protect a key part of the "Crown of the Continent" ecosystem: rivers, lakes, forest and alpine terrain that are home to grizzlies, wolverines, elk and moose. Camping, fishing, paddling and hiking are the main draws.

A brief history

Castle Provincial Park was approved on January 20, 2017, taking effect on February 16, 2017, alongside Castle Wildland Provincial Park. The name comes from Windsor Ridge and the West and South Castle Rivers.

RV tips

• The park has several campgrounds, including some booked through Alberta Parks.
• Roads become gravel deeper into the area, so drive slowly and check tire pressure.
• Bear country: store food properly.

Before you go: Hours, road conditions, campground availability, passes and fire bans change. Check the official source below, 511 Alberta and Alberta Fire Bans before you travel. National parks need a Parks Canada pass, and Kananaskis needs a Conservation Pass.
