Buffalo Lake Provincial Recreation Area is a natural park located in the Central Parkland Region of Alberta, near the town of Stettler. Locals refer to Buffalo Lake Provincial Recreation Area as Boss Hill so don’t be confused! The rustic campground is situated in the 5.88 acre (2.38 Hectare) park and has 29 unserviced RV sites. The campground and provincial recreation area is situated on beautiful Buffalo Lake which is also the site of several other provincial recreation areas and private camping sites and attractions.

While Buffalo Lake Provincial Recreation Area is located on the northeast side of the lake, the south west corner is home to Old MacDonald’s Farm, where many family friendly activities are available including farm animals, hay rides, go kart rentals, and a music festival in the fall that campers visiting the provincial parks can visit during the day. While staying at the Buffalo Lake Provincial Park, RVers can partake in the many activities the lake offers. There is a beach and swimming area, fishing, and nature walks along the shoreline to watch for wildlife such as owls, local and migratory birds, and local mammals including deer, elk and moose that frequent the area. Power boats are permitted on the lake, and water skiing and windsurfing activities provide plenty of thrills and spills for lake goers who like a little excitement.
