Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Vermilion Provincial Park adventure.
Enjoy year-round camping and recreation with abundant lake and river access in eastern Alberta.
Explore the expansive Vermilion River Valley from a comfortable basecamp on Vermillion Park Lake. Recreation abounds with summer fishing, canoeing, hiking trails and wide open space to explore. When the snow arrives, visitors can enjoy ski trails, snowshoeing and ice fishing. Wildlife enthusiasts will find a number of migratory and resident birds through the seasons. The crisp, clean air and scenic surroundings make for an attractive place to camp throughout the year. Convenient access to the town of Vermilion ensures you are always close to services and supplies when visiting the park.
As a year-round park, there really isn’t a bad time to visit. The prime season begins April 29 and extends to October 1 for overnight camping. The full campground is open during this time with access to power, water, sewer and showers. The trails are open for hiking and ice is typically free from the reservoir, ponds and river. Winter is still attractive for the prepared campers however. Without services, you should have sufficient winter camping equipment and a heat source. Cross country skiing and snowshoeing are excellent during the winter months.
