Peter Lougheed Area Campgrounds

The Center of Kananaskis and a designated park void of industry. This area is the hub of Kananaskis with two large mountain lakes surrounded by eye-dropping mountains holding more mountain lakes. Here you'll find big and small game wildlife, hiking trails, biking trails, stream and lake fishing, and even swimming if you dare the cold water. There are lots of campgrounds in the park and the peak season is busy!
