The campground was small but lovely. As said on the website the toilets do not have water but thankfully there were generous amount of hand sanitizers available. The lake was frozen but super beautiful (mid march). It would be great if we could buy fire woods by card but it was not a deal breaker. My phone did not have any tele-coverage (koodo) but my partner's (a french line) had 3G connection.

Relatively small campground. Less busy than many other provincial campgrounds. Nice fishing lake.

Nice campground. Lake for fishing. Trails for walking. Pretty windy. Overall decent though.

Great campground and park. A real hidden gem in the far south of Alberta. Good fishing in the lake and a couple nice trails to hike

Stroll around the lake was nice. Fishy smell that day. Then we went for a hike up into the hills to the border which was interesting

Very pretty. Nice trails for kids. Most campers seem to be over 50 and ready for fishing. Bathrooms ok. No firewood and no one selling it, luckily someone had left our site 3 logs. No cell or wifi. Better set up for the trailer crowd, as the sites had coarse rock you can't step on and I had to put the tent on it. The walk to the border is quick and easy. There was always a few spots open if you're worried about that part, and someone was on the overflow lot with their super gigantic camper, so you will probably find a spot too.

We were disappointed with this park. It is well off the main roads, ending with 12 km of gravel road with no services nearby, no pay phone, no cell coverage and no park hosts. There is also nothing remaining of the original outpost expect the name of the lake and park – Police Outpost. There was a map of the interpretive trails, but no distances were provided. The woods were dense and there was a lot of undergrowth with the bear warnings and the isolation of this park we did not feel safe walking the trails here. The playground is modern with a gravel base, but it was in the group camping area not the main campground. There is a good boat launch with docks and fish cleaning station. There is no beach available. Park website says the tap water is for putting out fires only, but the tabs have signs that the water is treated. It was odd that the park operator had their own signage about senior discounts and seasonal discounts that are not consistent with the park website. This might be a good fishing lake but we did not feel safe at this park.

Lovely clean, large campsites. No hook ups, must be self contained. Very quiet. No cell service or wi fi. Good gravel hiking/biking trails. Lake is stocked with rainbow trout. Good bird watching opportunities. Wonderful scenery.
