As part of our ongoing commitments to provide quality recreational opportunities and keep Albertans informed, Alberta Parks is providing notice of changes to the campground at Jarvis Bay Provincial Park. This project is part of the Government of Alberta’s commitment to modernize and improve recreational facilities in protected areas.

The campground at Jarvis Bay Provincial Park will be modernized and expanded to better meet the demand for camping opportunities in central Alberta. The project will occur in a phased approach to provide enhanced camping experiences with minimal disruption to visitors. Public consultation will occur in 2018 to gather input into latter phases of the project, which will include a proposed expansion with new camping loops.

Specifics of the project include:

• Upgrades to water, sewer and power infrastructure will be completed in 2017. The campground check-in booth and existing campsites in the south loops will be modernized and expanded.
• A complete overhaul of the north camping loop and group sites is proposed for fall 2018. This includes adding modern toilet and shower house amenities, as well as three barrier-free campsites adjacent to new washroom and shower facilities. The north loop will also add seven new campsites, increasing camping capacity in this loop from 29 to 36 sites.
