Lakeland Provincial Recreation Area encompasses 171 square miles<\/a> in Canada, with beautiful natural scenery including rolling hills and four picturesque lakes. It’s possible to experience this area and spend a night in the great outdoors at Pinehurst Lake Campground<\/a>. The campground, suitable for both tents and RVs, is located on the shores of Pinehurst Lake in this stunning recreation area.<\/p>\n Pinehurst Lake is in an isolated part of eastern Alberta, the “most desirable region” in the world in 2025<\/a> \u2014 you may need to drive on some gravel roads to reach this spot. Lakeland Provincial Recreation Area is home to a 3-day, 24-mile canoe circuit, and it’s also a Dark Sky Preserve, thanks to its remoteness and lack of light pollution \u2014 offering visitors a prime opportunity for stargazing. Wildlife such as caribou, deer, moose, wolf, otter, and beaver inhabit the area, and it’s great for birdwatching. Water activities like swimming, boating, sailing, and fishing are all popular on Pinehurst Lake, along with camping at the quiet campground.<\/p>\n Note that the campground is in bear country \u2014 you’ll want to properly bear-proof your campsite<\/a> when staying overnight here \u2014 and cell signal can be spotty. There’s no on-site dump station, so it’s best to empty cassettes (and refill water) prior to arrival. One Google reviewer<\/a> offered a nice summary of this scenic spot, saying, “Quiet campsite, has privacy, clean toilet and lake is clear. Saw a bear on [the] side road. Will probably come back!”<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n
