Cold lake camping

[ak-71]

What are my chances to get into 1st come 1st serve camping? (Tent, power/no power, but truck accessible)
I have a friend visiting from the US and I was going to take him to Kananaskis lakes and Spray (in 380 inflatable), but it looks like it's not gonna happen now, so I am trying to work out plan "B".
Looks like there is a fair chance of catching a keeper in Cold even with a new regulations.
I would also consider SK if there is a better lake (place to go within 8 hours driving from Calgary with lakers or trout (any) in it)
If somebody could give me an idea, I'd really appreciate this

It's Canada day long buds, highly unlikely your will get into cold lake provincial park or surrounding sites. This is one of those situations u really should of planned ahead.

Does it have to be a nice sopt? If not you could contact the
Cold Lake Information Centre ‎
4009 50th Street (780) 594-4747
They run a campsite with hookups accross the street from Tim Hourtons in Town. I have never seen the place full but I do not know if they take tents.

Good Luck and have a great and safe long weekend

You could camp at Sandy Beach (East side of the lake). Its crown land i think. Free.
