Fire Advisory in Effect - April 16, 2025

As a result of the high temperatures and drying conditions, the Fire Danger Rating in Saddle Hills County is now HIGH.

In response to this, Saddle Hills County has issued a FIRE ADVISORY, along with other local municipalities.

Controlled burning in the Non-Forest Protection Area, including on privately-owned land, is now limited to campfires, burning barrels, and hand-piled wood, two cubic metres or smaller.

Burn permits are still required and will be issued on a case-by-case basis. Large fuel burns will not be permitted at this time.

To check for Fire Advisories, Fire Restrictions and Fire Bans, visit albertafirebans.ca

The Fire Advisory will remain in effect until conditions improve.

Campgrounds & Parks

Saddle Hills County is lucky to be home to three municipally run campgrounds, at Spring Lake, Hilltop Lake, and Cotillion Park, as well as the provincially run Moonshine Lake Provincial Park. We are also lucky to be home to the prime fishing and wildlife spotting locations of the Shell True North Pond and Jack Bird Pond. 

Bookings for Cotillion Park and Hilltop Lake Campgrounds can be made through letscamp.ca

We are still working to determine opening dates and reservations at Spring Lake Campground, and we will provide an update as soon as this information is available. 

Sites at Moonshine Lake Provincial Park can be reserved through the Alberta Parks Reservation System.

2025 Opening Dates
