Fire Advisory in Effect - May 20, 2025

As of May 20, 2025, at 2 p.m., Saddle Hills County has downgraded the Fire Ban to a FIRE ADVISORY.

This Fire Advisory is in place for all non-Forest Protection Areas. A Fire Ban remains in place for the Grande Prairie Forest Area, which includes Cotillion Park, Hilltop Lake, and Spring Lake campgrounds. 

Controlled burning in the Non-Forest Protection Area, including on privately-owned land, is limited to campfires, burning barrels, and hand-piled wood, two cubic metres or smaller.

Burn permits are still required and will be issued on a case-by-case basis. Large fuel burns will not be permitted at this time.

The Fire Advisory will remain in effect until conditions improve.

Update: Spring Lake Campground Reservations

By Saddle Hills County - April 30, 2025

Due to the construction work underway at Spring Lake Campground to provide power to our campsites, reservations for the 2025 season are currently unavailable.

Thor Electric Ltd. have been contracted to undertake the project and will be beginning work in Loop A in May of this year. 

The campground will remain closed to the public while trenching work is completed and all underground electrical cables are installed in Loop A. Unfortunately, this will not be before the first week of June.

Once the work in Loop A is complete, the installation of underground cable will begin in Loop B, at which time Loop A can open to the public and camping reservations can be made.

The timeline for powered sites is still to be determined, but it is expected these will become available some time in August.

At this time, we will not be offering seasonal sites for the 2025 season. Should seasonal sites open, it will likely be on a monthly basis. 

We apologize for any inconvenience and look forward to welcoming you to our campsite in the not too distant future.

More updates will be provided, as available.
