Chinook Provincial Recreation Area

The Chinook lake is exceptionally picturesque. No cell coverage in C lot. FCFS sites were free on the long weekend, but maybe that's because of the pandemic. There is one washroom that's shared between the camping folks and day use area. If you are camping, wait till around 3.30 when the day use folks start leaving and you can have the entire lake. Bring your floats and paddles, no powered vessels allowed.

Awesome campground. Very well set up for tenting and RVing. Campsites have fire pits and picnic tables. Beautiful day use area. Great trails for hiking and biking and a beautiful lake for recreation such as fishing, kayaking and swimming. Will be back again for sure!

The campground is nice. The lake is easily accessible. It would be nice if there were more garbage cans in the camping loops. Also the outhouse is filthy, the worst I have seen in along time. We saw the park attendent came by and nothing was done to clean them. There were so many dead flies on the floor there is a crunch noise under your feet when you walk in there. The toilets are awful.

Great campground! Very comfortable. Watch out though. We paid the 2 day fee. They came looking for money again. Other comments say this has happened in the past. We refused to pay twice and stayed in our site with no issue. None the less. This area is epic! Used the campground as a base to hike up Table Mountain and the mighty Crowsnest Mountain. Nice campground. Great Lake. Excellent hiking.

Great spot, but make sure you look up if they have a fireban or not!!
