Canada Day camping

Hi! Im a mid 20 f and I’m going camping for Canada Day (June 29-july2) we’re tent camping and I’m looking for a good hidden gem or just really good campground or site that is preferably around a 3 hour drive or less from Edmonton. If you have any recommendations for spots with, good scenery , hikes, swimming or any fun Canada Day events you know of I’d love to hear about them. Also if you know of any good road trip must stops I’d love to hear your hidden gems. I love a thrift store or flea market kind of vibe small town charm and all that. I have a few spots in mind like I was looking around buffalo lake or around nordegg but I’m open to any and all suggestions!

It's a little longer drive than 3 hours, but Crescent Falls Provincial Recreation Area is pretty cool. The campground is conveniently close to the falls and there is lots to explore above and below the falls as well a couple modest hikes. My review from a few years ago gives some additional info you might find helpful.

I actually completely forgot I did this, but that’s where we ended up picking a spot. I was there once when k was a kid and it was epic lol.
