Emerson Bridge Park Campground

Emerson Bridge Park Campground sits along the edge of the Red Deer River, about 32 km north of Brooks, Alberta, on Highway 36.

Operated by the County of Newell, the campground runs on a first-come, first-served basis for overnight stays, while seasonal and monthly bookings are also available. The park is open from mid-May through mid-September.

The campground offers a range of site types, including 50-amp full-service sites, 15/30-amp power sites, and non-power sites.

Amenities include free showers and flush toilets, a sani dump, potable water, a ball diamond, beach volleyball, horseshoe pits, a camp kitchen, a playground, and walking trails. A canoe-only boat launch provides direct river access.

The Red Deer River here also serves as a starting point for multi-day paddling trips, with a roughly 28 km route connecting Emerson Bridge downstream to Steveville Campground and onward to Dinosaur Provincial Park.
