Tay River Campground

Information: 403-845-8349 (Rocky District Office)

Just 16 km southwest of Caroline on Highway 591, the Tay River Campground is the perfect spot to escape and enjoy nature. The park offers 20 unserviced campsites suitable for both RVs and tents, that are available on a first come, first served basis. Most sites are in an open, grassy field, with a few choice sites by the river.

While campers may take advantage of the proximity to off-highway vehicle (OHV) and equestrian trails, off-loading or operating OHVs inside the park is strictly prohibited. OHVs must remain on trailers until they reach the nearby trail systems and staging areas. Horses are not permitted within the park boundaries.
