Crossfield

The Bearberry creek snakes across the property, adding to the beauty of the landscape before it spills into the Red Deer River. Hike through the acres of forest and trails, or fish and kayak on the river.

Stick closer to your site and play in the kid zone or sand volleyball. Go horseback riding or spend the day in the water park for summer activities. In the winter there is cross country skiing, quading and snowmobiling for the year-round camping and adventure enthusiasts.

Bow RiversEdge is a rustic campground situated near the rushing banks of the scenic Bow River in Cochrane, Alberta, just off the Cowboy Trail. Forward Thinking and Cochrane’s Lion’s club opened the campground in 2005 as a nonprofit initiative. Sitting in the shadow of the Rocky Mountains, they are open between April to October . During the winter, longterm sites are open from November until March. Convenient access to paved paths is ideal for all ages to bike, walk, jog and fish. There’s a family sports centre nearby, along with plenty of tourist sights and shops to visit within the town of Cochrane. With Banff and Canmore less than an hour away, the options to explore beyond the campsite are endless and Calgary is even closer – the draw of the Calgary Stampede is a must for many who visit in July.

Prairie Peaks Campground is located near Waterton Lakes National Park, with a wide variety of amenities, including potable water, fire pits and spacious site. It has quick access to many different destinations, such as Waterton Dam and boat launch and the Great Canadian Barn Dance.

These are a few examples of the great campsites along the Cowboy Trail with many activities for all ages at your fingertips. Make sure to explore the surrounding areas to make each trip unique and exciting.
