Cypress Hills is one of those places where, because of the environment and climate and diversity in the campgrounds, trails, and wildlife, it’s the perfect place to develop your camp ing skills and enjoy time spent with friends and family.

“You can find walk-in tent sites, which are next to a lake with minimal cell service. They’re nice, quiet, and secluded. A complete escapism. And then there’s the sharing with friends and family-style, full-service camp grounds, with playgrounds, amenities, and washrooms.” — Mike Ractliffe, Medicine Hat local.
