    Effective Date: October 27, 2025 - Until Further Notice

    Where: Island View Day Use , North Fork Campground , Oldman Dam PRA , Windy Point Campground , North Fork Boat Launches

    Details: Low water levels are being experienced all around the Oldman Reservoir. This is impacting the ability to launch boats. Water levels are below the boat launch pads in many locations making it not suitable to launch or load boats.   

Castleview Campground is in Oldman Dam Provincial Recreation Area, 13 km north of Pincher Creek on Hwy. 785. Fully serviced sites are suited to RVs, with power, water and sewage hookups and privacy partitions. The Oldman River and Reservoir are close by. This is a popular spot for all kinds of water sports. Constant breezes make it an ideal place for sailing and wind surfing.

This campground is located at the Castleview Ridge Estates cottage development, close to the reservoir and river boat launches.

All Campsites are 100% reserveable.

When camping in a powered site:

  • Use 1-2 electrical appliances maximum at the same time. When campers lose power, it's usually because too much electricity is being used at once.
  • Do not use adapters to draw power from a 15 amp for an RV with a 30 amp plug.
  • Have a backup plan. Use other methods to cook, stay cool and keep entertained.

Remember, conserving electricity and timing when you use your electricity in a campsite will ensure you can stay powered. Get more information about using powered sites.
