All Sights & Experiences in Grimshaw

Tucked along the banks of the Peace River in the MD of Peace, Strong Creek Campground is a year-round escape for outdoor lovers. Located just 8 km south of Peace River on the scenic Shaftesbury Trail, this rustic campground offers an affordable stay at only $20 per night. Enjoy the convenience of washrooms, potable water, and a sheltered kitchen while still feeling close to nature.

In summer, spend your days soaking up the sun, paddling, or casting a line in the Peace River—just a short stroll from your campsite. The park also features picnic tables, a playground for the kids, and hiking trails that wind through the area’s natural beauty.

When winter arrives, Strong Creek transforms into a snowy retreat perfect for snowshoeing and crisp winter hikes. The playground remains a family favourite year-round, and firepits invite you to gather for cozy outdoor picnics.

Location: Approximately 12.5 km southeast of Peace River along Highway #684.
