Forks Backcountry Campground

Forks is a hike-in campground in the forest along the Upper Kananaskis River corridor. Alberta Parks lists 20 tent sites. It suits an overnight on the way toward Three Isle Lake or Turbine Canyon; choose it when you want an established camp in the backcountry, not a drive-up stop.

Reach it from North Interlakes Day Use Area. The normal approach is 7.3 km one way with about 100 m of elevation gain. The route is rated easy, but the distance still counts when you’re carrying camping gear. Check Alberta Parks’ current trail advisory before you leave, since route changes can add distance.

The official listing includes pit or vault toilets, secure food lockers, firepits, supplied firewood and grey-water disposal. The river is the listed water source, and no potable tap is listed, so plan to treat water or carry your own. There’s no food service listed; pack your meals. Visitors mention shared cooking areas and picnic tables, but reports don’t establish that every site has a table or tent platform.
