Campground Description
Welcome to Black Nugget Lake Park, where history and nature come together to create a fantastic family-friendly retreat! Our park used to be a coal mine, but today, it's all about having fun and making memories.
Imagine a long, winding lake, perfect for gentle adventures in kayaks, canoes, and other non-powered boats. And the best part? You can go fishing! We've stocked the lake with rainbow and tiger trout, so everyone in the family can enjoy casting a line and trying to catch some fish.

LoginGreat campground
Facilities kept very clean with huge sites.
Staff friendly and accommodating.
Nice Campground..
The dump station here is fantastic and it’s very, very convenient. Campground is nice and cozy..
very inviting.
grounds and staff were great. Nice peaceful place even on weekends. Well kept, had no trouble wheeling a wheelchair all over. Will go again for sure.
Nice campground!
I have to Black Nugget a lot. Love it there! We were just there and had site 37. There is barb wire just at the edge of the site by the fire pit and it is knee high. It is a danger if kids around and adults too. It should be cut. It is not serving a purpose anymore and is a hazard. It is a great well kept campground and love the lake for paddle boards and kayaks!
A little gem
We happened upon Black Nugget through my son and it has become the fall camp spot for us to wrap up our camping season. We go with family and get a lot that will accomodate more than 1 trailer and it is beautiful. It is private and quiet and just what we want. We also like the dump station on the way out, the convenient drive thru set up is great. We recommend this campsite for any time of the year.
Excellent Campground
Have been Camping at Black Nugget for years. Great place for seniors. Well maintained, excellent staff. One request. Please trim the higher branches on the East end of Group Site 1. They are just low enough to catch the Air Conditioner and vent caps on our 5th wheel. With the branches trimmed, could park closer to the end. Thanks
Great campsite and well run!!
Cory and Colleen are the best camp caretakers this place has ever seen. We've been camping here for 15 years and never have we seen this place so well looked after. The cleanest bathrooms and showers ever!! They are also very accommodating and friendly and make everyone welcome. Hope they stay on forever!
A little gem not far from the city.
We love this campground. It is a gem that we are grateful for a friend telling us about. We have been going at least twice a year since.
It is well kept, the people who run the campground are always friendly and helpful.
We don't care about having a powered site, although they do have them as a solar panel keeps us powered for what we need.
We love being close to the water as it is great for bird watching and the occasional visit from a muskrat and ground squirrels. Looking forward to next season. Thanks as always.
An Oasis
This lovely campground is away from all the noise that surrounds us every day. It was so quiet, we didn't even hear any coyotes! It is a great place for bird watching. Friends who came with us enjoyed kayaking and hiking around the lake. We would like to return sometime.
Very Professional
Just love this place, very clean and quiet and love the showers!!! Could use some shower hooks in the showers...please.
Very Clean and well maintained
If you are a young family to a retired couple this campsite has it all. The caretakers are friendly and make sure your stay is enjoyed by everyone. Great park for the kids to climb and swing. Clean bathrooms and convenience store if you forgot your ice. We will be back
Eastern Gem
Great campsite east of Sherwood Park-so nice not to have to drive through Edmonton or on the QE2! Very well maintained and 2 minutes from great golf course. Will be back again!
Super clean
This campground has everything you need whether you are there to enjoy a quiet weekend or have a family get away. The management staff are very helpful and accommodating. I would highly recommend it.
New staff are awesome
We were at Black Nugget Lake Campsite a couple of years ago and the site left a lot to be desired. The improvements made by the new operators are awesome. We were very impressed and will definitely return.
Choose your site carefully
We were out in the open, no trees. It was very hot - the campsite (camper door) faced south. They could plant some trees between the sites to provide shade. Several trees had been cut down. Our site didn't have a fireplace grate, but the others next to us did. The design of ours didn't have a bracket to hold one or we would have used another empty site's. The port-a-potty was pretty gross - there was just one for the area we were at and it was out of TP and filled with flies/odour. We just used the camper (we were trying to save filling it), but if you are tenting, you will need to walk over to the office and use the flush ones. The shower is amazing - one loonie for five minutes. The overall campground is nice. There were some really nice treed spots (still not private, but shaded). We tried to use the trails but it was a small, worn path through the trees, no trail. The mosquitos were so bad we didn't dare go into the bush. The water is slimy and not for swimming, but lots of people had small, non-powered boats out on it. Overall it was an okay spot, but I will choose a different one next time. Miquelon is better for trees and trails plus nicer outhouses (kept clean and stocked, plus no odour).
Hidden Gem! Where’s the fish?
Hidden gem, very well kept large sites. Would definitely recommend this campsite. But, where’s the fish? We used to catch lots but the last few years, not even a nibble or see them jumping. Great location!
Great little campground, not far from home
This was our first time out to Black Nugget. My kids and I spent 2 nights out there. All in all, the campground was well-kept and clean! Especially after a long weekend, the place seemed nice and clean. There was a storm slated to blow in the first night we were there, and one of the managers was kind enough to offer us a different site that was a bit more sheltered.
I only have one criticism—the tent area in site T4 was quite uneven. Closest to the parking pad was quite high and towards the bush, there was quite a drop. But honestly a minor issue.
We’ll definitely be back!

A hidden gem!
One of our go to campgrounds! The caretakers Cory and Colleen treat you like family, very accommodating.
Very clean throughout, and well kept. Love the sunsets over the lake. We will be returning.

Great Place to Camp
Campground staff was welcoming and very friendly. Sites were well maintained and clean. Overall the grounds are well maintained and sites are easy to find. We will be back.
Awesome Experience
Camping at Black Nugget Lake was a Magnificent experience, except for the countless mosquitoes. We had 5 sites booked, we are surely planning a return next year! Very clean.
campground is very clean and well kept
we enjoyed our stay ( love camping with grass around the units) but someone was flying a drone above us and we thought this should not be allowed
Great little campground
Nice quiet campground with well maintained campsites. I would like to see more sites with access to water though.
Fantastic little gem of a campground
Had a great time. Loved the larger, private lots. Definitely recommend.
Nice campground!
We stayed at G1 which is a group campsite. We reserved for 4 trailer units but we were never told that there were only 3 power outlets! If I would have known this, I would have reserved a larger group site. This being said, the campground was very nice and clean. The loops were nice to walk and we enjoyed all the birds on the lake. We would definitely return for a short visit.
Beautiful
We stayed over the weekend in the G1 campsite. The treed site easily fit 3 large units with room to spare, as well as a nice grassy tent area. There is a huge central firepit and large picnic tables.The lake is steps away with several decent kayak launch areas. The lake was a little "green" but the kayaking was so beautiful, and if you'd rather enjoy the lake from the shore, there are benches with amazing views. Management was friendly and accommodating, and the entire stay was excellent. We have already booked another weekend in the early fall, and can't wait to enjoy the fall colours from the lake. Truly a hidden Alberta gem!

Beautiful hidden gem!
Our first but definitely not our last time here! Colleen and Cory the managers were fantastic to deal with and very helpful. The sites were huge and well cared for.

Fantastic
The campsites were quit large and very well kept. The place was beautiful and the staff was very friendly. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED AND WILL RETURN.

Nice sites and pretty area
First time staying out there and it was great. Site was nice and big. Quiet and peaceful plus got to see the pelicans. Host were great when we got there and office was nicely setup. The only bad thing a can say is holy moly the mosquitoes are wild so make sure you bring bug spray. But we will definitely be back

Best little hidden gem for camping
This is one of those campgrounds you look for to have an amazing stay. The stalls are huge with lots of space and meticulously maintained. The hosts are amazing people who take pride in their work which is obvious when you drive in. You can see the pride in their work including beautiful flower pots scattered in the main area making the place feel like home. The showers are refreshing and so clean and tidy. I would recommend this spot to anyone who is looking for a fabulous campground.
Beautiful campsite
It was our first time at Black Nugget and it won't be our last! Corey and his team were very professional. We were not on powered site but the view was amazing!

Excellent campsite -a true gem!
We have been camping at Black Nugget for several years. Last year when Cory and Colleen took over management, they have made several upgrades. This is an amazing campsite. The bathrooms and showers are spotless! So impressed. They are so friendly, helpful and accommodating. They added small garage bins up and down each road, pots of flowers and Cory built the fountain at the entrance all because he needed something to do last summer. Grass is always cut. The place is beautiful. My sister-in-law lost her phone and they and their son spent 2 hours helping us to look! Great camp caretakers definitely add to the enjoyment of your stay! Can’t say enough good things about them.
Awesome
Awesome place to camp very quiet very spacious campsites great staff will go back again
Clean
The campground facilities are clean and well maintained.
It is unfortunate that the lake is stocked with fish that are consumed quickly by the bird population. Seems like an unnecessary expense that could be avoided?
Check in time seems a bit late in the day as well. Otherwise, great stay!
Very nice place to camp
We love this place! It's so clean and the people are awesome!
Local gem!
Bird paradise. Friendly management. Bring a kayak. Limited full service sites, but plenty electrical sites. Spruce trees are hurting and should start replacing before die right out.
Awesome Camping!
Very clean and looked after. Nice space between stalls. Friendly management. Will be back.
Very nice campground
We had a great weekend! Caretakers were friendly and accommodating We will be coming back!
Beautiful campground
This campground is very will looked after . Had a great weekend . The hosts were good to deal with . We will definitely be back soon .

Great getaway
Campground is clean and well maintained. The hosts are very friendly and accommodating. We loved our site overlooking the lake having morning coffee. Will definitely be back.
Love it
We love going to black Nugget!! It is well taken care. Definitely our favourite place to go!!
Love It
We come every May to watch all the amazing birds nesting. We return Sept long. It is a nice distance from Edmonton.
We don't care about powered sites, but you have something for everyone.
Nice upgrade on the dump station. Thanks as always, your service is great.
Stay at Black Nugget
We always enjoy staying here. Could use some flatter parking spots on the north side though. But always nice to stay.
Love it!
This campground is the best! Everyone is always extremely friendly, the spots are beautiful and peaceful! Will continue to come back year after year!
Love It..
We come back every fall to enjoy the birds and the fall colours and the area is good for cycling.
Hoping the dump site is in better shape next season.
Great Place
We love this campground the sites are very spacious, clean and well kept. Super place to stay.
Big sites
Most sites are very large & easy to access. Everything was clean and tidy.
We had a small problem last year when the small group site stated 3 medium trailers could fit & they definitely could not plus there were only 2 plug in pedestals.
Enjoyed our stay!
Lovely spot! Powered sites are clean, level, and spacious. Grandkids loved the playground, especially the tetherball, and there was lots of space for our own games of bocce and ladder ball. Our only complaint was that the walking trails are overgrown and not clearly marked.
Great Campsite..........but
This was our first time at this campsite. Stayed over in the non-services sites. The site was very nice and private, right on the water..........but..........there was a grassy area in the site that was covered in dog crap. Apparently not all dog owners care about picking up after their dogs! And the people who are taking care of the campsite should at least inspect them occasionally.
Favorite campground
We have camped at Black Nugget for 10+ years and are never disappointed! Management is friendly and professional. Sites are large and treed. No garbage around, sites are kept mowed. We will continue camping here!
Love staying here!
Smaller campground, very well run. Lots of things to do for kids if all ages. The camp staff were great! Loved delivery of firewood to our site. Large sites.
Well kept campground
We enjoyed our stay there. First time really. I camped there back in mid 80's when it wasn't all that organized. Enjoyed the quietness, yet still see and heard the kids enjoying themselves. Having showers and plumbed washrooms was a bonus. Stayed at site 41&42. Very open but still great. I'll certainly be keeping this gem in mind for next years camping for sure. See you again.
Always a great stay
We love this campground and the staff who are always great. Like any campground there are some not so great sites, but there is something for everyone.
If you are a bird watcher it is amazing. The Pelicans and Blue Herons never disappoint.
The new dump station is great. I am hoping you are just waiting for it to settle and then level it out as if you don’t have a high sitting trailer it is a little more difficult to dump due to the mound of dirt around it.
Thanks for the great stay and wood delivery right to your site.
Still my favorite campsite.
The sites are perfect, the skies are amazing. I book my camping around the new moon so that I get the darkest skies possible. Bring your camera, bring your telescope!

Hidden Gem
This is a great campground. The lots are huge and well maintained. Great walking trails. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We will definitely return.
Well maintained large RV Sites
We spent 9 nights - two weekends and a week. The RV Sites are so large it is pretty easy to park them and you have room to spread out chairs, tables and lawn games. The showers have been renovated since 2020 and it looks like a spa with tiled walls and cedar benches (I would like a hook for my towel). The shower had good pressure and was reasonably priced. The campground is well maintained. Colleen the manager has beautiful flowers by the office and her husband is quick to mow the lawn when someone pulls out (sites 1 - 30). I appreciated the p/w/s for the 9 day visit but there were some spectacular sites with lake views like 93-96 and 35-38 (no power). The weekends were busy with happy families and friends. The week was quiet and a relaxing retreat. Easy access from Edmonton. We will book another week next summer!!

our camp
The campground is quite nice, and very quiet, keeping in mind we camped mid week. The only problem is the actual sites we had 41 and 42. They were both very uneven, with lots of humps and holes. Very difficult for seniors to walk on without falling. That was my onley concern
Beautiful campground
Our daughter to.d us about this campground and Coal Creek golf course. We loved camping at Black Nugget campground. The site was big, it was quiet at nighttime. Mind you, we did the camping during the week. We enjoyed being there and will be back again.
Spacious, clean, well groomed sites.
Stayed at site #9.
Very spacious and well groomed.
We had a powered site.
Caught one fish in 4 days.
We had a bit of an issue with our holiday trailer, on the morning of our departure and the manager was very accommodating.
We will be coming back next season with our kids and grandchildren. Beautiful location, especially beside the Coal Creek 18 hole championship golf course.
The one pound rainbow I caught, 32 cm in length, nice and pink and better than steak.
Sites are large, clean and well maintained. There could be more locations for garbage .
This campground is good for young families with smaller kids. We brought our older grandkids there to go fishing and other activites. The fishing was sparce. Found 1 person who caught 1 fish in 4 days. The campground focuses on keeping the shore line in a natural state but is it full of goose poop and weeds. Fishing from the shore is difficult because of the weeds. As well, there were limited spots to fish from the shore. The activities are centred around young children so my older grandkids were bored. With the lack of activities for older children and the sparing fishing, it is not likely we will be returning.
Manager Reply
There's a dumpster South of the office by the dumping station a hop skip and a jump from site 1, along with 4 other dumpsters through out the campgrounds...
There's lot's of activities for any aged kids, volleyball, basketball, tetherball and rope golfing ext...
It tells you that on the website, you just need to ask for the balls...
It's the Province that wants to keep the shore lines natural, not the campground it's self... As far as
the goose poop that can't be helped, fishing is a catch 22
Thank you
Very nice.
Appreciated the spacious size of the campsites.
camper
This is certainly one of Alberta's hidden gems. Camp hosts are wonderful and each site is very spacious.
Gorgeous!
We discovered this campground by a referral from a few friends. Been coming now for several years and enjoy it more and more each time. Spacious lots, clean, well kept, lots of trees, playground for the kids and fields for soccer, football or what have you. Very peaceful and quiet, love the many birds singing. This is our #1 campground, just a short drive to our home, we love to come here!
Sanctuary
Facilities were all top notch. Other Clientele actually are decent properly reserved folk when it’s sleeptime, and decent minded during the day... so wasn’t kept up awake by rude loud music playing, uncontrolled dog barking, or screaming kids.((I KNOW they aren’t responsible for errant oddballs)). I apologize if others were bothered by my snoring across the water from inside my closed distant trailer during delightful electrical storm (only half joking... it’s bad)
Staff I met, helpful courteous and ppl I respect.
Amenities exceeded what I imagined, prices in tuck shop really decent, and I LOVED the shower, since my rookie first trailer solo proved my solar/electric set up literally killed battery overnight to point I didn’t want to use more, by powering water heater or water pump on day 2 or 3.
How beautifully reclaimed the site is is amazing. EFFORT is put into this place... diligent stewards made a mine into a nature preserve, literally. Fantastic care. Loads of birds and lush green (again they can’t control or be blamed for things they can’t control)
Previous stays with the canoe, were rewarding. Quiet non motor craft only, and can coast along watching abundant waterfowl.
Far enough from city and town to not be “light spoiled” or noise riddled.
Only 4 stars cuz the bugs this year were horrible and the walking trail was overgrown and hard to even find... not really anyone’s fault, but makes a more realistic review than the bot and slave labour “review farms” out there spoiling the industry.
My only regret is the potential I spike their popularity and wind up limiting my ability to return often, for sites being permanent reserved.
I love this place.

Relaxing
We were introduced to this campground thru our son….second time back and will return again soon. The caretakers of this campground are very friendly and provide purchase of firewood, concession and clean showers. Close to Coal Creek Golf Course for all of those golfers.
A wonderful time at a favourite location!
This is a lovely site with beautiful level tree lined and grassed plots, with room for multiple vehicles, tents etc.
The hosts are exceptionally accommodating and very helpful with all aspects from checking in to helping with the dump station.
$25 of wood would last you several days with a furious firepit and is hand delivered to your trailer, great service!
Nearby Bird observation hike at Beaver lake is amazing.
Great spot, we cannot wait to come back with our family!
Very peaceful
This campground is perfect for families, with the large sites, soccer field and playground. The golf course close by is a nice little venture for the adults. The custodian’s are friendly and keep the facilities super clean and the sites groomed. We will definitely stay there again.
Hosts very friendly and accommodating.
Expect for two storms, our time here was perfect.
Nice Quiet Family Friendly Campground
The managers were very friendly and accommodating. We took a power site for our 26 ft trailer. Most sites are huge. The refinished washrooms were clean and great. Still some final construction needed at dump station as sewer receiver piping is too high without concrete containment and strange that hosts do not have sewer connection. Could also use more full service sites as only has 6. All sites were kept clean and well mowed. Many of the evergreens were stressed and dying. Needs a plan to plant new ones to start replacing the old.
great RV spots
There are some incredible camping sites at Black Nugget lake, with and without service. The RV sites are very generously sized, very well maintained and level, or you can go to a non-serviced site where many are very private and have incredible lake views.
Love this campground
We lucked out with beautiful weather, the spots are spacious and comfortable.
The lake this year is green in places and the weeds in parts are out of control and the geese are multiplying!
The new managers are great and accommodating.
Looking forward to seeing the final repairs to the dump station. Will be back!

I did not put in any stars into my previous review!
I just wrote a review and submitted a review about the pressure to review. When I looked at it I found that five stars had been attached to my review. Please note that the five solid stars at the top of the review submission are an automatic rating! My rating for the review submission emails is now shown above.
Manager Reply
Sorry that this is happening to you.. Have you tried emailing Camp reservations to see why this is happening? See if they can stop this from happening again
Thank you
Harassed to review
I have already received at least five or six emails asking me to review the campsite with no easy way to opt out. I am there for reviewing the reviewing process. Leave me alone! One email would work if I wanted to write one. 6, 9 or a dozen will not do anything more than make me unhappy!
Great quiet spot
Love the big campsites with good privacy and trees all around. No busy roads nearby so this is a great place to find some peace and quiet. Great playground and lots of space for kids to ride bikes around the campground. Just a short drive to Coal Creek golf course too. We will be back!
First time camping here
Beautiful campsites they have showers little store to get ice and treats fire wood for sale and the campground managers are very welcoming defiantly will be back
Great Campground
We spent 4 nights here and were very pleased with campsites and park in general. Very quiet and sites are large and well treed. We will definately return
Perfect spot
Newly retired, we took advantage of camping midweek.
Even though many sites were full, it was quiet, very clean everywhere including the grounds, fire pits, and spotless shower building and out houses.
They sell and deliver generous bundles of firewood compared to many other campgrounds, in the office, are reasonably priced ice creams, pop, water and snacks and bags of ice.
Very friendly caretakers
We’ll definitely be back
Manager Reply
Thank you! Look forward to having you come back...
Clean and Organized
The new Camp Superintendent was great. Even on a long weekend, Cory managed to deliver our firewood out to our site and due to a last minute booking, he even let us know about a few nicer spots that were no-shows that we could move to if we wanted to. The dogs loved the lake.
Always great!
Since we found this gem, we have returned again and again. We love May long at Black Nugget for all the different species of birds you see.
Hosts are great and love the touch of having wood delivered right to your site. See you again soon.
Love camping here
Just spent the long week end here ! The new caretakers are wonderful ! Everything was perfect can’t wait to go back!!!
Opening week 2022
We just finished our first trip of the year out at Black nugget. We have been camping here since 2017 and have never been disappointed. This year there is new caretakers, very nice people. They had the park ready for the season, sites un fantastic condition as usual. We are excited to spend many more camping trips here this season!
Quiet campground
Our first stay at this campground. It is awesome. Very quiet, large sites, with trees separating the sites. Large grassy area behind us. Loved walking around the lake and seeing the fall colors, heron, & large flocks of geese. Beautiful sunsets. Only 5 minutes from Coal Cr GC. Will definitely be returning next year.

One of our favorites!
We have been to this campground many times over this camping season (2021) and are never disappointed. Louise and Dave have outdone themselves to welcome us and to make sure we have a great camping experience. Campground is well-maintained and campers have a choice of serviced or un-serviced sites. Sites are spacious and treed. We'll be back!!

We have enjoyed camping here twice this
year each time the staff have been very friendly helping us with any thing that we needed. The sites are easy to park in and very clean.
Images:
Quiet site
We were booked into group site 2. The website says it holds 3 smaller trailers & has power. We had even phoned about this site to confirm the size. When we arrived we discovered this site only had power stands for 2 trailers. Perhaps a clarification on the website should be recommended.

Beautiful and quite
We stayed at Black Nugget several times, this time in early September. It was very nice and quiet, as usual. The campsite is terrific and the staff very helpful. We stayed mid week, so not very busy. A great place to relax.

Nice Clean Well Run Campground
The campground caretakers do an amazing job of keeping everything in tip top shape. Even the outhouses were very clean! Beautiful quiet campground with lots of kayaking area! Nice and close to home which is a bonus!

Nice get away
The campground is very clean. The out houses are some of the cleanest we have seen. They were sprayed down and cleaned twice a day the weekend we stayed. Staff is all very friendly and helpful. Love camping here and will be back as often as we can.

Good star gazing spot
Nice spot for dark sky viewing during the perseid meter shower.

Very nice!
I took a chance and booked a site here for our annual camping trip, and I'm so glad I did. The couple running it are friendly, welcoming, and very helpful. Park is clearly well maintained; I saw them checking on/cleaning the outhouses twice daily!
We rented a tent site for the two of us and our dog in our 8-man tent, the site was clean, spacious, and pretty private.
The only disappointment was that the walking trails shown on the map are not maintained, they're pretty overgrown and we had to turn back pretty quick. Otherwise we had a blast and would definitely love to come back.
Images:
Lovely& Quiet
Beautiful little campground. Very clean and very quiet. Outhouses were cleaned several times a day. Staff were very nice. Loved the campsites. My only complaint would be that the firepits were very tall with no openings so I couldn't enjoy the fire as I couldn't even see the flames. Otherwise, I love this campground.

Terrible vacation
Complete and absolute horrible BITCH!!!
I don’t understand, why women like the owner are so unnecessarily mean and lack any kind of customer service skills and yet she does. She wears a permanent scowl to help you with everything.and anything. Talk about being micro managed in your own paid for camp site. They advertise and charge full price, saying that you can go Swimming, (No! There’s millions of Leeches in the water) Fishing, (No! algae and seaweed killed all the fish weeks ago) and Hiking! (No! All the trails are overgrown and you’ll need a machete to get through)
We will never be back!
Images:
Friendly staff
The nice staff were very nice to my kids and delivered our firewood. Needs more than one dump station.
Images:
Very restrictive
This campground attendants is constantly harassing the campers. Patrols constantly. All day all night. We paid triple what most group sites charged & we harassed.
I feel it was Over priced charge for each tent. Small group areas.
no beach. Small lake. I would not recommend this to anyone.

Partying 10:30pm to 7am
I booked online for 8 people and paid $80.. we arrived at 5 pm and told them we have 2 tents total because my kids is sleeping in a separate tent and they told me I have to pay extra for the tent which is the same amount that I paid for 2 nights. Just to make our camping smooth and no hassle I pay the $75 extra so in total I paid $156 for one site with two tents even though I think is a rip-off.
That same night around 10:30pm the people beside our site is having a party. They were too loud with music playing and people shouting and arguing with each other, dogs barking until 7 in the morning. I went to the office many times that night but it’s close. My kids were scared and I told them just sleep in our tent. I wanted to talk to the those people but my wife said just leave it for I might just get into a fight for they were all drunk. The next day at 11 am, we all pack up and leave for I don’t feel safe for my family beside those drunk people beside our site.
This is the worst camping we had ever experienced especially for my kids. This camping site should a security patrolling at night for it is a family camping area and people are paying for it. Quite time 11pm - 7 am were posted but enforcement would be better. Night Security patrolling to keep your paying CAMPERS SAFETY a PRIORITY would be a good idea. I will advice all my friends to stay away from this campsite, for my family didn’t feel safe camping here at all.

Great Campground close to home
Discovered this fantastic campground a couple of years ago and it is now our "Go To"! Only 30 minutes from our home in Camrose, very clean and spacious sites. This campground has everything you need including trout fishing! Always a pleasure to head out there for a few days and bring our family and friends!

Nice Campground
Stayed here for the first time, it’s a very nice campground. Great place for kids, lots a room for them to run around. Will most definitely go back for a weekend getaway. Everyone was nice and quiet when 11:00 pm came around.

Well managed campground
A return to a favorite after 2 year absence. Very clean facility with friendly, helpful staff and peaceful, family atmosphere. The waterways and wildlife make for a great experience.

Nice local get away
A friend told us about this little gem an hour east of Edmonton. The are a variety of sites in this campground, some private some not so, but definitely something suitable for everyone.
We love the variety of birds on and around the lake, especially May long weekend when birds were nesting. The flock of Pelicans were a great surprise. A Great weekend getaway.
Very nice staff. Thank you.

Very well run.
Kept clean and very welcoming. Peacefull ! Enjoy it every time we stay!

VERY RIPPED OFF
Our group was looking so forward to our family camping trip as of recent. Only to be ruined by an unfriendly staff of Black Nugget Lake campground. Showed up a little past 8p.m. was 'hurried' along upon check in because they were CLOSING??!!..I can understand 10-11p.m. closing time...but 8 p.m.??? Go to purchase their $20.00 "cart load" of firewood..a complete rip off. We called the office the next day to ensure they possibly made a mistake and only delivered 1 cart load instead of the 2 we ordered. Guy shows up, and says he delivered 2 cart loads. This is $40 worth of fire wood we all ask??? Because of the rain the first night, we were only able to burn 3-4 pieces of wood. He said we burnt half of the 2 cart loads. There were 10 adults...and we ALL agree, this was NOT 2 cart loads.
Near the end of the camp duration, my other party in our group asked if he could pick his trailer up after his work shift which was not too far down the road near Tofield. He was willing to even pay a small fee to keep it there so he can haul it to the camp storage after work near there. Was told there was no exceptions, and if there was, the EXCEPTION IS $108.00; so either you pay or leave with your camper at check out.
The office staff, owners, personnel or whoever runs the place needs to button up on customer service and be more polite and maybe even crack a smile sometime. Extremely unfriendliest group.
I must say it is clean and secure. The watch EVERYONE who comes in. On Saturday, another group of our party showed up and was made to pay...even though our booking said "3 or MORE units".
The camp grounds were kept clean and the bathrooms also cleaned.
I will have to second guess if we will ever return due to the simple fact of the unfriendliest group of workers running the place.
FYI - Prices in their little store are extremely outrageously over priced. Not sure how long the stock sits; I never had a chance to see, but can sure bet they are expired product.

Awesome campground
Well cared for and very friendly caretakers, we will be back

Great Place
We liked this place the moment we entered. Friendly staff, great views, able to use non-powered boating on the lakes. We especially enjoyed our campsite. Quiet and private.
Images:
Well maintained and grass covered sites
This was our first time here and it was a pleasant surprise. The sites are grassy and the washrooms are clean. Although not a natural lake (it’s the result of an old flooded coal mine), it was filled with pelicans, cormorants, and a large variety of other water fowl.

Friendly helpful staff
This campground was inviting from the moment we arrived. Lots of people there but really roomy making it feel almost vacant. Very kid friendly but quiet early evening .

Enjoyed
First trip to this campground. Very well maintained, friendly staff and quiet!
Images:
Great place!
Visited once many years ago and decided to try it again with our 3 kiddos. Great little campsite, nice playground and plenty of wildlife to watch. My kids loved spotting the pelicans every morning. We didn't fish but obviously a great spot to get on the water. Already booked another weekend this summer!

Amazing Experience
We really enjoyed our time camping at Black Nugget. Beautiful scenery and great staff. Thanks for an amazing experience!
Images:
Wonderful Place!
First trip to Black Nugget Lake. The park staff were friendly and helpful. Park was well kept up. Good mixture of sites, open & treed.
Images:
Great Local Destination
Nice municipal campground. It was nice to get away from the city. We saw more different bird species than I have seen in years including a flock of Pelicans.
It is often windy due to the lake, but it is always a thoroughly good time.

Amazing place
Amazing campground with lots of things for the kids to do. Grounds keepers are very accommodating and easy to deal with. Kids enjoyed the ice cream store and the fishing . Only recommendation would be a sign going to sites 37- 39 stating it’s dead end and that you must back in as there’s nowhere to turn the trailer around in that area. Definitely would return.
Images:
Fantastic destination
First trip of the year, May 14 to 16. Very friendly staff, extremely helpful and maintain an excellent campground. There is a lot to do despite the constraints and lots of opportunities to catch some nice trout and enjoy the scenery and birds. Will make this a trip every year. Thanks

Great place!
This was our first trip to Black Nugget, and we will definitely be back! Nice sites, not too far away, good lake for kayaking, and the campground is very well-run. It was quiet at night, everything was clean, and the host was great!

Beautiful park
Awesome campground. Well maintained and so pretty. Sites are great with a mix of open and treed sites. Lots of great waterfowl on the lake. Watched the pelicans in early May.
Images:
Very well run
We were so pleased to be able to be amongst the first of the 2021 season. Sites are big, clean and convenient!! We'll be back!!

Black Nugget Lake Park
This is a great place to camp. The sites are clean, well maintained & and a good size. This is our second year coming here and we are looking forward to next season already. We would recommend it to friends and family, It is also less then 1 hr from Edmonton,
Fantastic Campground
Well kept, quiet, large sites. Looking forward to next season already
Beautiful location
beautiful location, lovely spacious lots with trees and great fire pits, feels very well spaced, not crammed in.
Great service - when I accidentally booked the wrong utilities for my Unitas, iywas corrected for me by the staff with no hassle and fantastic courtesy.
Can't wait to come back in 2021.
excellent camping
large private sites on the north end of the lake good kayaking. dave was very friendly and helpful. we will be back
Great campground
Large sites, many alongside the lake, private, and well maintained. One of our go-to campgrounds last year and again this year.
Our new favorite
First time camping here and we absolutely loved it! It’s very well kept, quiet and big sites! We will be back for sure!
Nice Campground
First time at this camp ground and I must say that we were impressed. Large grass sites, very well taken care of. Check in was great. Greeted by a very friendly host. Nice walking trails.. we will be back that's for sure
Friendly caretakers, well maintained sites
We spent the weekend at one oof the group sites and it was lovely! Very clean sites, and probably the cleanest outhouses I've ever seen!
Well maintained
Great campground. Hosts were super friendly and inviting. Wish the sites were more private but other than that it was great ! The lake was beautiful and perfect for kayaking!
Very Professional
Sept. 10,2020
This is our second time camping at this campground. We love the incredible views of the lake from our campsites! It is private and quiet. Most of all we are appreciative of the camp hosts Dave and Louise, they have been helpful especially when our trailer had major problems, Dave took the time to guide us to park our trailer safely. The appearance of the campground is well maintained and it shows how much Dave and Louise care about the campground. We hope to see them next year!
Keith and Leslie Colby
Nice spot on the prairies
Been going here for many years. Fishing has declined last few years but it's a great spotto watch geese fly-byes in the fall. It's very well maintained/groomed. Awesome place to kayak or canoe.
Lost site due to covid
No communication that our site was moved or changed. Excuse we got from the very rude attendant was it was due to covid and had to give away the site when it was only 50% capacity. When it opened back up instead of putting me back on the full serviced site that was originally booked we were out only to a powered site. The lady is rude and very unhelpful for any issues. Wood purchase 15.00 for like 8 pieces of wood is way over priced and it was wet so getting a fire going was hard. Now being on a powered site only I had to conserve water more Than normal as it was a long weekend, the entire site that has probably 200 sites and only 6 sites are full hookups have only 1 dump station? That is just poor planning. Only 2 good things about the park is the sites are huge and very spaced out. The other is coal creek golf resort is such a nice golf course. The county should shut this place down for a year and do some major renos like more full hook up sites, get rid of the rude lady, make the firewood competitivly priced. Was not impressed this past weekend. The lady was rude and unhelpful and just said talk to the county. Horrible service.
Our go to summer spot
We have been visiting this campground for a few years now and absolutely love it! We continue to come back numerous times a year and have brought friends who also fall in love with this campground. We visit this campground more then any other each summer. The newest management are a great couple and take such good care of the sites I miss the paddle boat rentals some of the old care takers had but the lake is beautiful to take kayaks, canoes or rafts out. The powered sites are private, very large and grassy. Some of the non powered sites are less private but very spacious and amazing views of the lake, most waterfront. I highly suggest checking out this campground to all.
Great Get-A-Way!
We have been here for the 3rd time now and it is always clean, quiet, well maintained and managed. Love this campground the best! It has become our favourite!
Great when quiet
We stayed for two nights in one of the three tenting sites in the week before the September long weekend. It was really quiet and we had most of the place to ourselves. The campground managers were great and helpful. I don't recommend trying the walk around the lake - we got off track but still enjoyed it. Lots of waterfowl and shorebirds. Saw a few snakes and frogs. Didn't have any luck with the fishing though. Overall, this was a great visit!
AWESOME
My wife and I went for our first camping trip in our trailer at Black Nugget. We are so glad we picked this spot. The caretakers, Dave and Louise were amazing. They treated us like family and were so helpful. The camp ground was clean and well kept. Everything was perfect for our first trip. We will be back
Great stay!
We had a great stay at this campground. The sites are extremely large, private, grassy and clean. Although we came during the week the grounds were quiet by 10 pm. Great walking paths, trails, a very unique Campground!
Appreciated the quiet and privacy
This was our first time at Black Nugget Lake Campground. It won't be the last. We were booked into a quiet and private campsite. But we also appreciate that in the areas that were not powered, there was space between the sites which allows for more privacy even in the sites that don't have trees or are next to the road. You can tell that the campground is well cared for and well-maintained. The Manager opened the gate early for me on two mornings of our stay so that I could attend to an event an hour away (it started quite early in the morning). I was grateful for her help. We appreciated the natural shorelines and all of the Flora and Fauna we got to experience. This is a great Campground for families and people that want to enjoy the natural surroundings in a quiet way. I am very grateful that there wasn't major partiers at this Campground. And everyone who had their dogs were very respectful of everyone else's space and tranquility.
Disappointing rowdy/drunk/noisy campers - rules not enforced
This is my second time staying here. I loved it the first time so I came back. It was very disappointing on the Saturday night of my stay. At a site along the road were very noisy, till past 2:00 am, drunk, rowdy people. I don't know if they were registered campers but they rolled in around 6 pm. No campsite authority came to shut them down or call the police on other campers behalf. I was camping alone so I didn't want to risk my safety by telling them to respect the campsite rules:
- Quiet time 11:00PM – 7:00AM.
- Public drunkenness and rowdiness will not be tolerated and will result in police action and immediate eviction.
When I drove out past this site Sunday morning, there were at least 2-3 bags of cans/bottles near the picnic table. That was good of them not to leave a mess but it did leave a bad taste to want to come back for a peaceful camping experience.
My rating is low not because of the campground but more for the authorities not patrolling the campground - especially on a Saturday night. If i was with young children I would find a different campsite with strict and enforced rules for safety reasons.
A Little Gem
This is a great campground close to Edmonton. Large campsites and the lake is great for fishing, kayaking or canoeing. It’s definitely on my list. The care takers do a great job of looking after the whole campground.
Awesome little campground
This place was recommended to us by my aunt. When we arrived, the lady let us switch our site, as it was still quiet, only in for the weekend AND the site we originally took was very wet. Even though we were not in a treed site, we were happy as it was right on the lake. The kids had fun fishing and wandering the grounds for new adventures. Very nice and pleasant people.
Love ,love ,love this Campground!
This is a definite gem of a campground. It’s clean, well managed and beautifully landscaped. The lake is very natural and we were graced with visiting Canadian Geese. We will be back!
Nice Campground
This is a very nice campground. The sites are large and there is plenty of space. Many power sites or dry camping. We really liked the area, but we were thre to fish and the fishing is non existent. No fish, not even a bite in three days. If you want to relax though it is awesome, and the staff are terrific.
Wow!!!!!
A Beautiful gem! Amazing clean and well kept campground. Will go back again !
Pleasant Little Surprise
Great little campground & close to Edmonton. The caretakers really went above & beyond for our first visit here. Nicely treed site, great playground for kids and lots of places to go walking & exploring. We'll be back.
Great Campground!
As always, Black Nugget has been one the most beautiful and well kept campgrounds I have stayed in. The hosts were amazing. My grandchildren loved the playground, the lake, the campsite (we were in group site #1). I have been to this campground 4 times and I have never been disappointed with our stay. I look forward to our next stay!! Great place, great hosts, great sites!! Thank you!
Amazing campground!
We love this campground! A couple of friends recommended this campground, it was hard to find anything available with covid, so we booked here no problem. Am we ever glad we did! Been twice now and it is one of our main "go to's" from now on. Last campout, there was a problem with a neighbouring site who had 2 dogs. The Manager dealt with the problem immediately, much to our satisfaction. Great campground, great sites, great management!
Awesome Campground
The first time we went to Black Nugget. It should be called Black Diamond because it's a Diamond in the rough. Great campground only a 1 hour drive from the city.
Great place to camp!!
Very clean well kept grounds. Office staff is amazing! Always available to help and make sure you enjoy your stay! Large grassy sites are great to keep from everything getting muddy. Very quiet. Will definitely return!
Absolutely Wonderful Campground
This was our first time camping here as our normal campsite was unavailable. I am so glad we stumbled upon it! The hosts were amazing and friendly. The sites and outhouses were well kept and the other campers were respectful and quiet, even on a long weekend.
Great Campground Awesome for the Family
This was the first time staying at this campground. Louise was absolutely the best of help really kind. The campground was immaculate and great sites and facilities were top notch. I will definitely come back here for sure.
Really beautiful campground
Kind staff and nice campground. We came for fishing but no signs of fish! Will likely be back just for the beautiful quiet campground
Awesome
Very nice and quiet campsite. The lady in the office is very helpful and nice !
Beautiful!!
Had an amazing time with my family this weekend. The campgrounds are very clean and it’s a nice and calm environment. Everyone there is super friendly.
Had a marvellous time .
A quiet hidden gem!
This was our first time at Black Nugget. It was recommended to us by friends who go there often and we are so glad they did! The sites are spacious, clean, well-kept. The park was great for the kids (also clean and well kept!) and the lake is absolutely beautiful! Staff and other campers were very polite. We will definitely be coming back!
Beautiful
We stayed for 3 full days. Very accommodating. I accidentally booked online a spot that wouldn't fit us. Next time I would book online and leave a message to confirm we will fit. There was a big storm while we were there. They drove around in the storm to make sure everyone was okay and if anyone needed help. The lake is beautiful and perfect for kayaking.
Big, quiet camp sites
Service was lovely and the camp site was large and private. Outhouses were clean. You can buy a bunch of wood for $15 too which is convenient. A hidden gem only 1 hour from Edmonton!
Beautiful place
I love it there it is so clean quite people are nice there .I will be going back aug long weekend
Picturesque
This is a hidden gem within an hour from Edmonton. Large non serviced sites on the east side of the lake provide for picturesque views and lovely sunsets. Their is an abundance of waterfowls and a few muskrats to watch.
The camp managers are awesome and available for help as needed and are seen several times a day driving the campground and maintaining a clean safe experience .
We will be back!
Camper with motoehome
This campground is pretty and nice. Still need a little TLC but very spacious and we found it very quiet. We were in #23 with power. After all the rain on June 30th and July 1st there was a lots of water around the landing area. The fire pit needs to be raised as it is full of water. They did come after we mentioned it need help. They gentleman doing to service filled all around the pit but did not put any sand and gravel in the pit and the pit has to be raised. Our feet were always wet around our home. they have a wonderful location beside the mini lake or pond, and a golf course is very close by. We will return. Thanks Dwight and Gloria
Hidden gem!
I haven’t been to this lake since I was a child and it used to be a 10 campsite no power on the honor system. Now it is a very well kept, large sites beautiful campsite with a 100 + sites. This is a real hidden gem. I’ll be booking here again for sure!!!
Great campground, needs some TLC
Discovered this gem a few years ago. Love the options for sites- services or not. No service sites are more rustic, private and around the lake. Staff have always been friendly even with the recent changes in site managers. The only complaint I have is the lack of site cleanup/maintenance: on our last visit, June 14-19, even though the site manager greeted us and said our site was " all ready for us", there was garbage in and around the firepit and metal roasting sticks left on the picnic tables. It is pretty evident that nothing had been done to "ready" the site for us. I expect people to pick up after themselves, but if there is a site manager at the campground, I expect that, for the money I pay for that site, it should be clean for my arrival. Especially with the covid pandemic- I shouldn't have to clean up after the previous guests. It would also be nice if they put some more gravel in some sites and try to level them off a bit- as the years go by, some sites are getting tougher to level off your unit or find a flat spot to put your tent.
Love this Place
Great place . Spacious private sites available , lovely sites , lots of birds and small wildlife .
I enjoy my privacy and quiet times so I was thrilled , no unnecessary traffic coming and going .
The caretakers keep things nice and clean and it was good to see all the measures in place for social distancing and hand sanitizers located all around .
I plan on frequenting this site !
Super experience!
We are newbie campers. After arriving a bit late and needing some assistance the campground managers were extremely helpful and generous with their time helping us to set up our trailer for the first time. They consistently checked in on us and they’re very wonderful hosts. There are sites that are more private than others but overall I was happy to experience this place.
Lovely campsite
Lots of space between campers. Only issue is lack of outhouses and what is available can be far from your site. Only one place to get water, outside the office. Otherwise very nice and quiet. Easy to enjoy walks on roadways through the park. Lots of water view sites. Friendly office with good rules for social distancing.
Very Nice
This was our first time to the campground and we were very impressed with everything. The site was right by the water, camp host was very helpful and directing us to the site and how to park to enjoy the lake the most. We will return for sure. Wish the bathrooms were open but I'm sure they will be soon.
Great time with my nephews
Been here a few years ago and it has changed a bit with new sites. I decided to take my nephews for their first camping trip here as I wanted them to catch their first fish and hopefully a tiger. The management was super friendly they have dry wood which is great and the site was decent . Now if those dang gangs of pelicans would stop eating all the fish maybe our luck would’ve been better ;) My twin 4.75 yr old nephews loved their time there and we will be back hopefully to catch a fish!
Perfect!
We have been coming for years and love it here! The sites are so well maintained, clean, lots of room with lots of mature trees! The customer service if great, the area is lovely. We will be back!
Excellent
We are very impressed with this campground. We have been here many times, and always enjoy ourselves. The new management is doing a great job!! Thanks! We'll be back!!
Beautiful and Quiet
We stayed at site 112 and loved it. Very quiet, sheltered site with water all around, and just across from the trail. Staff were courteous and helpful, and went above and beyond to make our stay great. Kids had a blast!
