Camping

Experience Cranbrook the way nature intended.

A nature getaway wouldn't be complete without a few mosquito bites! Embrace being woken each morning by birds, fresh rainfall or rays of sunshine. Nature welcomes you each day with the fresh smell of lush greens.

Park your RV or pitch your tent at Cranbrook's neighboring Provincial Parks or private campgrounds. The options range from rustic to full-service, with some campgrounds that offer swimming pools, laundry, stores, and more!

There are many options for dog-friendly camping and perfect places for family vacations.
