BIG HORN CAMPGROUND
DUE TO OPEN JUNE 1st, 2023! Campguidelines_Yaha v2.pdf After a long expected wait, we have planned to re-open the Bighorn Campground! This has been a costly and timely project, therefore there is ground rules set in place. IF these rules are not respected, we will consider closing the campground indefinitely until the restoration is complete which could result in a couple of years. - Camphost on Site - NO TRAFFIC (horse, pedestrian or otherwise) is to be on the rock Berm at this time. The berm runs along the West side of the campground (east side of the Bighorn Creek) from the Bridge to the Red Deer River. - NO traffic is to be on Ice/Dirt piles as this poses as a safety hazard. Most construction was completed during the month of February, therefore all dirt/rock work completed has snow/ice mixed in with it. Slow melting of this ice will result in longterm settlement and high risk of hollowed out areas.
